Ontology mediation is enabled through interoperability of semantic data sources. It helps data sharing between heterogeneous knowledgebase and reuse by semantic applications. Ontology mediation includes operations such as, mapping, alignment, matching, merging and integration. This paper aims at discussing a new approach of ontology merging and matching using ontology abstract machine with an i...

Bringing semantics to Web Services description and matching remarkably improves the recall and precision ratios of Service discovery. Though there are many effective semantic based Web Services matchmakers, they have poor time efficiency for consuming time in the semantic reasoning step. To shorten service matching time, this paper presents a fast matchmaker for OWL-S services, called XServices...

Achieving automatic interoperability among systems with diverse data structures and languages expressing different viewpoints is a goal that has been difficult to accomplish. This paper describes S-Match, an open source semantic matching framework that tackles the semantic interoperability problem by transforming several data structures such as business catalogs, web directories, conceptual mod...

This paper presents the results of Lily in the ontology alignment contest OAEI 2016. As a comprehensive ontology matching system, this year Lily is intended to participate in three tracks of the contest: benchmark, conference, and anatomy. The specific techniques used by Lily will be introduced briefly. The strengths and weaknesses of Lily will also be discussed. 1 Presentation of the system Wi...

Ontologies are a formal, declarative knowledge representation model. They form a semantic foundation for many domains, such as Web services, Ecommerce, and the Semantic Web, where applications can mutually understand and share information with each other. However, because ontologies reflect their designers’ conceptual views of part of the world, heterogeneity is an inherent characteristic for o...

As a popular registry for Web services, UDDI provides a mature mechanism for service registration and search, but it does not support semantic operations on Web services, so its service discovery capability is not satisfactory. OWL-S overcomes UDDI’s shortcomings. Using OWL-S, service advertisements and requests based on capability description could be built in a uniform way, and the semantic m...

In this paper, we present an approach to hybrid semantic Web service selection of semantic services in SAWSDL based on logicbased matching as well as text retrieval strategies. We discuss the principles of semantic Web service description in SAWSDL and selected problems for service matching implied by its specification. Based on the result of this discussion, we present different variants of hy...

In this paper, we present our lightweight semantic publish/ subscribe system μC-SemPS that is targeted towards battery-powered micro-controllers and wireless sensor nodes in ubiquitous computing environments. The key challenge that we address is to minimize the overall energy consumption for subscription matching and delivery. Our system relies on an efficient representation of semantic subscri...

Semantic knowledge has been adopted recently for SMT preprocessing, decoding and evaluation, in order to be able to compare sentences based on their meaning rather than on mere lexical and syntactic similarity. Little attention has been paid to semantic knowledge in the context of integrating fuzzy matches from a translation memory with SMT. We present work in progress which focuses on semantic...
