Ontology Hierarchies Matching by Lattices Alignment
Proceedings of the Workshop on Ontology Matching (OM2007) at ISWC/ASWC2007, Busan, South Korea, (November 2007)Abstract
Ontology matching determines the correspondences between concepts and relations of related ontologies. In this paper, we put forward an ontology hierarchies matching approach based on lattices alignment. The proposed lattice-based matching algorithm can be utilized not only in matching processes between two ontologies, but also in annotation processes between an ontology and its corresponding resources. Experiments on spatiotemporal ontology annotation have been carried out which shown the applicability of the approach.
