چکیده
EcoLexicon is a frame-based terminological knowledge base on the environment that is in the process of being linked to FunGramKB, a multipurpose knowledge base designed for NLP. The approach chosen for the linking is the one known as alignment, which entails that EcoLexicon will become a satellite ontology of the FunGramKB core ontology, though each resource will continue to be independent. Most of the difficulties in any alignment stem from heterogeneity. The most important types of heterogeneity are syntactic, terminological, conceptual, and pragmatic. In order to define the best strategy for such an alignment and guarantee efficient maintenance afterwards, the dissimilarities between the ontologies need to be carefully studied. For that reason, this paper analyzes the ontological heterogeneities between EcoLexicon and the FunGramKB core ontology in order to identify possible ontological mismatches.

Diagnosing and Repairing Ontological Mismatches
The development of the semantic web ensures that the facilitation of agent communication is an issue of increasing importance. It is usually assumed that agents are using the same ontology and hence can understand one another, but the dynamic and distributed nature of the semantic web mean that this is not always a valid assumption. In this paper, we describe a system under construction that ca...
متن کاملAddressing Biological Complexity to Enable Knowledge Sharing
Domain ontologies are now commonly used to enable heterogeneous information resources, such as knowledge-based systems, to communicate with each other. In this article, we present a classification of ontological mismatches, which represent various ways in which knowledge sharing can be impeded by different decisions made by the developers of different resources. We address some of the ways in w...
متن کاملIdentifying Mismatches in Alignments of Large Anatomical Ontologies
UNLABELLED The objective of this study is to propose a model of matching errors for identifying mismatches in alignments of large anatomical ontologies. Meth-ods: Three approaches to identifying mismatches are utilized: 1) lexical, based on the presence of modifiers in the names of the concepts aligned; 2) structural, identifying conflicting relations resulting from the alignment; and 3) semant...

متن کاملToward an Ontological Database for Subcellular Neuroanatomy
We present the semantic data model for an ontological database for subcellular anatomy for Neurosciences. The data model builds upon the foundations of OWL and the Basic Formal Ontology, but extends them to include novel constructs that address several unresolved challenges encountered by biologists in using ontological models in their databases. The model addresses the interplay between models...
