Outline • Some Ontology Matching Methodologies • Shortcomings of Existing Ontology Matching Algorithms • Ontology Matching Approach • Ontology for Structured Representation • Fuzzy Ontology Structure • Conclusion
Some Ontology Matching Methodologies • Ontology Integration System (OIS) • GLUE • KAON • H-MATCH • PROMPT • Chimera
Shortcomings of Existing Ontology Matching Algorithms • The systems that perform ontology mapping are often either embedded in an integrated environment for ontology editing or are attached to a specific formalism. • In most cases mapping and merging are based on heuristics that mostly use syntactic clues to determinecorrespondence or equivalence between ontology concepts.
Ontology Matching Approach • All ontologies can be viewed as fuzzy ontologies. • Every concept is associated to a new descriptor called concept consistency
Ontology for Structured Representation • An Ontology Θ is a triplet of the form Θ = (C, Ρ, ℜ ) • C is set of concepts • Ρ is a set of concept properties • ℜ ⊆ C × C × RT is a set of binary semantic relations defined between concepts in Θ
Ontology for Structured Representation • ℜ is recursively defined as follows: • A set of atomic relations ℜa= {≈, ↑,↓, ∇, Δ} • If ℜ1, ℜ2 ∈ ℜ be any two relations defined between concept-pairs in Θ and ο denotes a composition operation, ℜ1 ο ℜ2 is a valid relation.
Fuzzy Ontology Structure • A Fuzzy Ontology, ΘF, is a quadruple of the form ΘF = (C, ΡF, ℜF, M) • C is set of concepts • ΡF is a set of fuzzy concept properties • ℜF is a set of inter-concept relations between concepts. ℜF is defined as a quadruple of the form ℜF (c, c, t, qf) • M is the universe of discourse
Conclusion • The use of the proposed framework is shown to quantify inconsistencies in concept definitions across multiple overlapping ontologiesrepresenting the same domain • This framework produces a unique measure of consistency for each concept that is defined for any ontology
