Automated Ontology Alignment with Fuselets for Community of Interest (COI) Integration; Final rept. Jun 2007-Jun 2008

摘要

Discusses the ontology alignment problem by presenting a tool called Ontrapro-the Ontology Translation Protocol, which allows users to apply a myriad of ontology alignment algorithms in an iterative fashion. This particular work explores the specific cases where a human can augment the capabilities of the machine. The report also discusses situations where the current state of the art in semantic interoperability research can be applied to solve real world problems. Finally we describe operational scenarios that demonstrate the use of Ontrapro/Semantic interoperability using new, semi- automatic alignment techniques. These scenarios and lessons learned describe how future work will result in more reliable ontology alignments, further enabling the possibility of semantic interoperability and taking us one step closer towards the original vision of the Semantic Web.
