Semantic Web Dog Food

Presented at: 6th International and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2007+ASWC2007)

Ontology mediation is one of the key research topics for the acomplishment of the semantic web. Different tasks can be distinguished under this generic term: instance transformation, query rewriting, instance unification, ontology merging or alignment creation. All first four tasks require the specification of an alignment between the ontologies to be mediated. Graphical tools and matching algorithms are developed to help specialists creating such specifications. In order to improve both user tools and matching algorithms we developped a library of correspondence patterns to represent complex correspondences between ontologies. We express these patterns as an extension of the Ontology Alignment ontology, meant to serve as an exchange format to represent ontology alignments on the semantic web.

Correspondence Patterns for Ontology Mediation was presented at this event.
