Ontology Merging: on The Confluence Between Theoretical and Pragmatic Approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, researchers have focused on merging knowledge bases in both pragmatic and theoretical points of view. In this paper, we enumerate a few attempts to deal with inconsistencies while merging knowledge bases. We focus on ontology merging and show that pragmatic and theoretical approaches are not integrated and that both could benefit from a closer relationship. We extended an existing theoretical algorithm for Description Logics and applied it for the ontology merging problem. We describe here an implementation of this algorithm as an open source Protégé plugin.

متن کاملFormalizing Ontology Alignment and its Operations with Category Theory
An ontology alignment is the expression of relations between different ontologies. In order to view alignments independently from the language expressing ontologies and from the techniques used for finding the alignments, we use a category-theoretical model in which ontologies are the objects. We introduce a categorical structure, called V-alignment, made of a pair of morphisms with a common do...

Alternative assessment approaches received considerable attention soon after a discontent with traditional, one-shot testing. These approaches, however, have been used only to improve learners’ linguistic ability despite communicative models of language which pointed that knowledge of language also involves pragmatic ability (Bachman, 1990; Bachman & Palmer, 1996). The present study tries to ex...
متن کاملLogic Based Merging
Belief merging aims at combining several pieces of information coming from different sources. In this paper we review the works on belief merging of propositional bases. We discuss the relationship between merging, revision, update and confluence, and some links between belief merging and social choice theory. Finally we mention the main generalizations of these works in other logical frameworks.
