Ting Wang · Computer Knowledge and Technology · 2007
The communication between different ontologies has become the chief task for the Semantic Web. And determine similarity between ontologies is the key tache in ontology mapping. In existing application it is achieved through pattern and structure matching. So that considering more semantic information embeded in ontology is the research direction now and in the future. This paper describe every layer of similarity stack and the approaches are categorized in each layer. Meanwhile each approaches are described detailedly. At last, we apply to summarize various major approaches for similarity measure between ontologies. And it can be a reference to others to put forward a new approach or a hybria one.
