Semantic Interoperability Using Multiple Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are now robust technical solutions to interoperate geographic information in a syntactic and schematic sense. But, problem with different meaning of geo-data from distributed geo-information sources still exists. The use of ontologies in semantic translation is a viable approach to overcome the problem of semantic heterogeneity. Also, from the technological point of view, mediator-based systems are important for the spatial data interoperability architecture. Our solution for semantic heterogeneity in an interoperable environment (called GeoNis) is a Semantic Mediator. Semantic heterogeneity is resolved by using a hybrid ontology approach. This paper presents architecture of Semantic Mediator. Also, paper defines concepts mappings between community terminologies (local ontologies) and mappings between local ontology and top-level ontology

Approximate Query Reformulation based on Hierarchical Ontology Mapping
This paper proposes an approximate query reformulation framework for integrating multiple ontologies. In order to achieve semantic interoperability in the Semantic Web, multiple ontologies have to be integrated. Ontology integration requires approximation mechanisms, since often no perfectly corresponding ontologies exist. However, most previous research efforts on ontology integration have not...

One of the challenges of current medical information systems which is based on keyword searching, is that it may retrieve a large amount of irrelevant information during searching. Also, these systems don't provide interoperability among healthcare systems. For interfacing these challenges, and for the purposes of more interoperability between user and machine, semantic web (web 3) has been d...
متن کاملKnowledge Discovery from Biomedical Ontologies in Cross Domains
In recent years, there is an increasing demand for sharing and integration of medical data in biomedical research. In order to improve a health care system, it is required to support the integration of data by facilitating semantic interoperability systems and practices. Semantic interoperability is difficult to achieve in these systems as the conceptual models underlying datasets are not fully...
متن کاملFramework of semantic interoperability using geospatial ontologies
Semantics of geospatial information is necessary to ensure its interoperability and correct usage. Geospatial ontologies enable encoding such knowledge and enable reasoning mechanisms to estimate interoperability. The framework of interoperability for geospatial information using ontologies, presented in this paper, supports (i) building of ontologies, (ii) semi-automated, ontology-based mappin...
متن کاملA Text Categorization Perspective for Ontology Mapping
This position paper addresses the problem of ontology mapping which is pervasive in context where semantic interoperability is needed. A preliminary solution is proposed using external information, i.e. documents assigned to the ontology to calculate similarities between concepts in two ontologies. Text categorization is used to automatic assign documents to the concepts in the ontology. Based ...
