Abstract:
A new technique for ontology alignment has been built by integrating important features of matching to achieve high quality results when searching and exchanging information between ontologies. The system is semi-automatic and enables syntactical and semantic interoperability among ontologies. Moreover, it is a multi-strategy algorithm which can deal with and solve more than one critical problem. Therefore, it is likely to be more conveniently applicable in different domains. Also, we improve a semantic matcher based on combining lexical matcher with several rules and facts. Moreover, our technique illustrates the solving of the key issues related to heterogeneous ontologies, which uses combination-matching strategies to execute the ontology-matching task. Therefore, it can be used to discover the matching between ontologies. The main aim of the work is to introduce a method for finding semantic correspondences among heterogeneous ontologies, with the intention of supporting interoperability over given domains. Our goal is to achieve the highest number of accurate matches.
