Manjula Shenoy K, K C Shet, U. Dinesh Acharya · 2011
The Semantic Web presents new opportunities for enabling modeling, sharing and reasoning with knowledge available on the web. These are made possible through the formal representation of the knowledge domain with ontologies. Ontology is also seen as a key factor for enabling interoperability across heterogeneous systems. Ontology mapping is required for combining distributed and heterogeneous ontologies. This paper introduces you to the problem of heterogeneity, and need for ontologies and mapping. Also gives an overview of such an ontology mapping system in general, an example and applications in brief
