Dealing with Uncertainty Issues in Complex Ontology Matching
نویسنده
چکیده
Ontology mapping is one of the most important tasks for ontology interoperability and its main aim is to find semantic relationships between entities of two ontologies. However, most of the current techniques suffer from some kind of drawbacks as listed below: (a) most of them only consider 1:1 mappings; (b) most of them do not consider the importance of uncertainty in ontology mapping. In this paper we consider the following two issues that have been the focus of our ongoing research: (a) how to produce complex mappings (m:1 or 1:m and m:n) and (b) how to deal with uncertainties in the process of ontology mapping.

Combining Uncertain Outputs from Multiple Ontology Matchers
An ontology matching method (or a matcher) aims at matching every entity (or concept) in one ontology to the most suitable entity (or entities) in another ontology. Usually it is almost impossible to find a perfect match in the second ontology for every entity in the first ontology, so a matcher generally returns a set of possible matches with some weights (uncertainty) attached to each pair of...
متن کاملCentralized 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 کاملUser validation in ontology alignment (Extended version)
Involving users during the matching process has been identified as one of the challenges facing the ontology alignment community. Users are typically involved in the validation phase of automatically generated alignments. In this paper we identify and discuss issues that are important when dealing with user validation in ontology alignment. These issues pertain to the user profile as well as th...
متن کاملOntology Matching for Geospatial Domain
Geospatial information is collected from different sources with disparate terminologies resulting in highly heterogeneous information thus making its compilation and retrieval difficult. Harmonization of these heterogeneities is needed for interoperability and seamless access to the information sources by providing a common platform for facilitating information exchange. This can be achieved by...
متن کاملSystem Dynamics and Uncertainty
System Dynamics is often used for dealing with dynamically complex issues that are also uncertain. This paper reviews how uncertainty is dealt with in System Dynamics modeling, where uncertainties are located in models, which types of uncertainties are dealt with, and which levels of uncertainty could be handled. Shortcomings of System Dynamics and its practice in dealing with uncertainty are d...
