Peng Wang, Baowen Xu · 2008
Abstract. This paper presents the alignment results of Lily for the ontology alignment contest OAEI 2008. Lily is an ontology mapping system, and it has four main features: generic ontology matching, large scale ontology matching, semantic ontology matching and mapping debugging. In the past year, Lily has been improved greatly for both function and performance. In OAEI 2008, Lily submited the results for seven alignment tasks: benchmark, anatomy, fao, directory, mldirectory, library and conference. The specific techniques used by Lily are introduced briefly.The strengths and weaknesses of Lily are also discussed. 1 Presentation of the system Currently more and more ontologies are distributedly used and built by different communities. Many of these ontologies would describe similar domains, but using different terminologies, and others will have overlapping domains. Such ontologies are referred to as heterogeneous ontologies, which is a major obstacle to realize semantic interoperation. Ontology mapping, which captures relations between
