    Large ontologies still pose serious challenges to state-of-the-art ontology alignment systems. In this paper we present an approach that combines a neural embedding model and logic-based modules to accurately divide an input ontology matching task into smaller and more tractable matching (sub)tasks. We have conducted a comprehensive evaluation using the datasets of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative. The results are encouraging and suggest that the proposed method is adequate in practice and can be integrated within the workflow of systems unable to cope with very large ontologies

    cheatham2016aInternational audienceOntology matching consists of finding correspondences between semantically related entities of two ontologies. OAEI campaigns aim at comparing ontology matching systems on precisely defined test cases. These test cases can use ontologies of different nature (from simple thesauri to expressive OWL ontologies) and use different modalities, e.g., blind evaluation, open evaluation and consensus. OAEI 2015 offered 8 tracks with 15 test cases followed by 22 participants. Since 2011, the campaign has been using a new evaluation modality which provides more automation to the evaluation. This paper is an overall presentation of the OAEI 2015 campaign

    Wikimatcher: Leveraging Wikipedia for Ontology Alignment

    Get PDF
    As the Semantic Web grows, so does the number of ontologies used to structure the data within it. Aligning these ontologies is critical to fully realizing the potential of the web. Previous work in ontology alignment has shown that even alignment systems utilizing basic string similarity metrics can produce useful matches. Researchers speculate that including semantic as well as syntactic information inherent in entity labels can further improve alignment results. This paper examines that hypothesis by exploring the utility of using Wikipedia as a source of semantic information. Various elements of Wikipedia are considered, including article content, page terms, and search snippets. The utility of each information source is analyzed and a composite system, WikiMatcher, is created based on this analysis. The performance of WikiMatcher is compared to that of a basic string-based alignment system on two established alignment benchmarks and two other real-world datasets. The extensive evaluation shows that although WikiMatcher performs similarly to that of the string metric overall, it is able to find many matches with no syntactic similarity between labels. This performance seems to be driven by Wikipedia\u27s query resolution and page redirection system, rather than by the particular information from Wikipedia that is used to compare entities

    TRC-Matcher and enhanced TRC-Matcher. New Tools for Automatic XML Schema Matching

    Modern society depends on the access to a wide range of information that is located in heterogeneous data sources. Schema matching is a task of finding relationships among data source elements automatically. However, most of the existing schema matching software are semi-automatic meaning that they need a lot of interaction from an expert familiar with the systems being integrated. In this work, we propose a new hybrid matcher algorithm, called TRC-matcher, that is targeted for matching business oriented XML schemas with none or minor user assistance. When compared to previously published schema matching methods, the efficiency of the new algorithm is based on a new content profiling algorithm and on intelligent combination of matching results of multiple matching algorithms. In addition, an enhanced version of the TRC-Matcher is introduced that combines machine learning methods together with few new matching algorithms.</p
