A Framework for a Fuzzy Matching between Multiple Domain Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper proposes an alignment framework for a set of domain ontologies in order to enable their interoperability in a number of information retrieval tasks. The procedure starts by anchoring the domain ontologies concepts to the concepts of a generic reference ontology. This allows the representation of each domain concept as a fuzzy set of reference concepts or instances. Next, the domain concepts are mapped to one another by using fuzzy sets relatedness criteria. The match itself is presented as a fuzzy set of the reference concepts or instances, which allows the comparison of a new ontology directly to the already calculated matches. The paper contains a preliminary evaluation of the approach.

Centralized Clustering Method To Increase Accuracy In Ontology Matching Systems
Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
متن کاملUncertainty in the Automation of Ontology Matching
The exchange of information between two agents over the Semantic Web requires a means of translating between the “vocabularies” of the agents. Much research has focused on the use of ontologies for specifying an agent’s knowledge and for exchanging information between agents. Effective communication between agents using different ontologies, however, requires determining the semantic interopera...
متن کاملEvaluation of Term-based Queries using Possibilistic Ontologies
In multiple-source information systems, attribute values are often assessed in linguistic terms belonging to different vocabularies. The request itself, which may include preferences, may be expressed using terms of another vocabulary, raising the problem of matching the query and the information in a semantic manner. The fuzzy pattern matching framework allows us to compute matching degrees be...
متن کاملA Conceptual Graph Based Approach for Mappings among Multiple Fuzzy Ontologies
Fuzzy ontology mapping is an important tool to solve the problem of interoperation among heterogeneous ontologies containing fuzzy information. At present, some researches have been done to expand existing mapping methods to deal with fuzzy ontology. However, these methods can not perform well when creating mappings among multiple fuzzy ontologies in a specific domain. To this end, this paper p...

Quality function development (QFD) is a planning tools used to fulfill customer expectation and QFD is a systematic process to translating customer requirement (WHATs) into technical description (HOWs). QFD aims to maximize customer satisfactions related to enterprise satisfaction. The inherent fuzziness of relationships in QFD modeling justifies the use of fuzzy regression for estimating the r...
