Partial Ontology Matching Using Instance Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies are a useful model to express semantics in a machinereadable way. A matching of heterogeneous ontologies is often required for many different applications like query answering or ontology integration. Many systems coping with the matching problem have been developed in the past, most of them using meta information like concept names as a basis for their calculations. This approach works well as long as the pieces of meta information are similar. In case of very differently structured ontologies or if a lot of possible synonyms, homonyms or meaningless meta information are used, the recognition of mappings gets difficult. In these cases instance-based matching methods are a useful extension to find additional correct mappings resulting in an improved matching quality, because instances provide a lot of information about a concept. This paper presents a novel instance-based matching algorithm which calculates different features using instances. These features characterize the concepts and are compared using different similarity functions. Finally, the similarity values are used to determine 1:1 mapping proposals.

Instance-based ontology matching and the evaluation of matching systems
The matching of heterogeneous information sources is a crucial task in many different domains. In order to find relations between the different pieces of information, which are annotated using different structures and formats, matching systems have been developed. In the past two decades, ontologies became more and more important as a way to represent the semantics of information in a machine r...
متن کاملResults of AML in OAEI 2017
AgreementMakerLight (AML) is an automated ontology matching system that was developed with both extensibility and efficiency in mind. This paper describes its configuration for the OAEI 2017 competition and discusses its results. For this OAEI edition, we built upon the instance matching foundations we laid last year, and tackled the new Hobbit track and its new evaluation platform. AML was the...
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 کاملScalability in Ontology Instance Matching of Large Semantic Knowledge base
The rapid growth of heterogeneous sources of massive ontology instances raises a scalability issue in ontology instance matching of semantic knowledge bases. In this paper, we propose an efficient method of instance matching by considering secondary classification of monotonic large instances to achieve scalability. We use a taxonomy of the ACM’s Computing Classification System (CCS) for second...
متن کاملTowards Rule Learning Approaches to Instance-based Ontology Matching
Ontology matching approaches have mostly worked on the schema level so far. With the advent of Linked Open Data and the availability of a massive amount of instance information, instance-based approaches become possible. This position paper discusses approaches and challenges for using those instances as input for machine learning algorithms, with a focus on rule learning algorithms, as a means...
