Abstract:Every year, new ontology matching approaches have been published to address the heterogeneity problem in ontologies. It is well known that no one is able to stand out from others in all aspects. An ontology meta-matcher combines different alignment techniques to explore various aspects of heterogeneity to avoid the alignment performance being restricted to some ontology characteristics. The meta-matching process consists of several stages of execution, and sometimes the contribution/cost of each algorithm is n… Show more
“…Among them, selection is of importance for the integration, for some contradictory results are not possible to be integrated. Since only using a single similarity measure fails to ensure the confidence on all heterogeneous scenarios, various similarity measures are integrated to obtain a satisfactory alignment [8]. Ontology metamatching problem is aimed at how to choose the decent similarity measures, assign appropriate weights for them, and how to verify the alignment by removing the incorrect correspondences to enhance the quality of matching results, which is commonly a complex optimization problem with many local optima [9].…”
In recent years, knowledge representation in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain is able to help people understand the semantics of data and improve the interoperability between diverse knowledge-based applications. Semantic Web (SW), as one of the methods of knowledge representation, is the new generation of World Wide Web (WWW), which integrates AI with web techniques and dedicates to implementing the automatic cooperations among different intelligent applications. Ontology, as an information exchange model that defines concepts and formally describes the relationships between two concepts, is the core technique of SW, implementing semantic information sharing and data interoperability in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain. However, the heterogeneity issue hampers the communications among different ontologies and stops the cooperations among ontology-based intelligent applications. To solve this problem, it is vital to establish semantic relationships between heterogeneous ontologies, which is the so-called ontology matching. Ontology metamatching problem is commonly a complex optimization problem with many local optima. To this end, the ontology metamatching problem is defined as a multiobjective optimization model in this work, and a multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) with diversity enhancing (DE) (MOPSO-DE) strategy is proposed to better trade off the convergence and diversity of the population. The well-known benchmark of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) is used in the experiment to test MOPSO-DE’s performance. Experimental results prove that MOPSO-DE can obtain the high-quality alignment and reduce the MOPSO’s memory consumption.
