Research on mapping-based instance transformation
Wang Chang-xia · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2010
Ontology mapping is the most effective solution to achieve the interoperability among heterogeneous ontologies.There already exists many algorithms and tools for creating mapping,but less research focus on the actual usage of the created mappings for a specific task.This paper discusses the application of ontology mapping,and proposes a framework for automatic instance transformation based on mapping,and presents relative transforming algorithms.This framework can work in any ontologybased environment such as semantic Web,and transform the instance between source ontology and target ontology automatically. The experimental results reveal that the framework and algorithms are feasible and effective.
