基于语义Web的本体映射方法综述

The Overview of Ontology Integration Approaches Based on Semantic Web

本体之间的映射是语义web发展中的一个重要问题。事实上,语义Web是由多种信息源组成的,每个信息源都以某个本体的形式表示。为了实现这些信息源的信息共享,就要用到本体映射方法。本文首先讨论了本体映射的三种体系结构。然后按照E.Rahm提出的分类标准,对现有的一些主要的本体映射方法进行归纳。最后,给出了4种方法的比较分析。从中可以看出各种独立匹配方法的组合将是一个极有希望的发展方向。

One of the important problems in the development of techniques for the semantic Web is the mapping of ontologies. Indeed,the Web is constituted by a variety of information sources,each expressed over a certain ontology-In order to share the information among such sources, their semantic mapping is required- In this paper, first we discuss the three integration architectures. Then we refer to the taxonomy which is presented by E- Ramh.and apply to summarize various major ontology mapping approaches. At last. we compare four typical mapping approaches following the criteria,and conclude that the combination of the individual matchers is a promising direction.
