Leveraging Data and Structure in Ontology Integration
Proceedings of ACM-SIGMOD 2007 International Conference on Management, page 449--460 - 2007
There is a great deal of research on ontology integration which makes
use of rich logical constraints to reason about the structural and
logical alignment of ontologies. There is also considerable work on
matching data instances from heterogeneous schema or
ontologies. However, little work exploits the fact that ontologies
include both data and structure. We aim to close this gap by
presenting a new algorithm (\tool{}) that
tightly integrates both data matching and logical reasoning
to achieve better matching of
ontologies. We evaluate our algorithm on a set of 30 pairs of OWL Lite
ontologies with the schema and data matchings found by human
reviewers. We compare against two systems - the ontology matching tool
FCA-merge \cite{sm} and the schema matching tool COMA++
\cite{coma}. \tool{} shows an average improvement of 25\% in quality
over FCA-merge and a 11\% improvement in recall over COMA++.
