Semi-Automatic Sensor Ontology Matching Based on Interactive Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm
Xingsi Xue, Junfeng Chen · Advances in computational intelligence and robotics book series · 2020
Since different sensor ontologies are developed independently and for different requirements, a concept in one sensor ontology could be described with different terminologies or in different context in another sensor ontology, which leads to the ontology heterogeneity problem. To bridge the semantic gap between the sensor ontologies, authors propose a semi-automatic sensor ontology matching technique based on an Interactive MOEA (IMOEA), which can utilize the user's knowledge to direct MOEA's search direction. In particular, authors construct a new multi-objective optimal model for the sensor ontology matching problem, and design an IMOEA with t-dominance rule to solve the sensor ontology matching problem. In experiments, the benchmark track and anatomy track from the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) and two pairs of real sensor ontologies are used to test performance of the authors' proposal. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the approach.
