Ontology mapping model with uncertainty in semantic integration
Zhiming Cui · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2009
Semantic Web is developing with high speed and features of dynamic and heterogeneous.Resolving the heterogeneity in semantic information is the key of information integration.Ontology is a form of knowledge expression for the semantic Web information,which enhances the semantic information for Web.To resolve semantic heterogeneity,and realize interoperation,it is in need of establishing mappings between heterogeneous ontologies.However,establishing absolute precise ontology mappings for huge heterogeneous ontologies is unpractical.There is usually some degree of uncertainty in ontology mappings.This paper proposes a new ontology mapping framework,ontology mapping with uncertainty in semantic integration,researches various ontology features, integrates several mapping strategies,and introduces uncertain matching in each mapping strategy.Experiment shows that this new approach has a reliable performance,and is more general and scalable.
