Applying an Ontology on Data Integration

چکیده
The term “Federated Databases” refers to the data integration of distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous databases. However, a federation can also include information systems, not only databases. When integrating data, several issues must be addressed. Here, we focus on the problem of heterogeneity, more specifically on semantic heterogeneity – that is problems related to semantically equivalent concepts or semantically related/unrelated concepts. In order to address this problem, we apply the idea of ontologies as a tool for data integration. In this paper, we explain this concept and we briefly describe a method for constructing an ontology by using a hybrid ontology approach.

Query Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...

Enterprise Integration is a key challenge faced by many organizations, including those of the U.S. Government. An important enabler of enterprise integration is data integration. There is promise in applying Semantic Web technologies to enable data integration of disparate data sources based on the semantics (meaning) of the data. As we start to build ontologies within United States (U.S.) gove...

Despite the dramatic growth of online genomic data, their understanding is still in early stage. To have meaningful interpretation, it requires the integration of various types of data that are relevant, such as gene sequence, protein interaction and metabolic pathway. Gene Ontology, an ontology proposed by molecular biologist community, is a possible tool to help address some of the difficulti...

Due to the heterogeneity of distributed systems data integration is a main success factor in real-life business. Applying semantic web technologies for matching data is one successful approach for data integration. Ontoprise uses ontologies as target schema for integrating different sources like databases, text-files and ontologies. However, the created target ontology and the corresponding map...
متن کاملAn Improved Semantic Schema Matching Approach
Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
