A Flexible Approach for Ontology Matching

Ontology matching is the key process of semantic interaction and knowledge sharing. It is the basement of the other semantic web application, such as, semantic web-based service, ontology alignment. The purpose of ontology matching is to reuse the ontologies and integrate them in different fields, so as to implement the bigger pool of information and knowledge for the new communication and application. So far, however, the achievements of (semi-)automatic ontology matching are very limited. Addressing this issue, the work presented in this paper puts forward an ontology matching approach, SGOM. It combines several strategies to take the similarity iterative computation on Change Weights Semantic Graph and utilizes the semantic message of ontology structure to match. For making full use of the message of ontology, our implementation and experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the matching approach.
