An Automatic Ontology Matching Using Similarity of Components and Synonym

Abstract

An automatic ontology matching is a task to align identical classes from different ontologies. This work presents a new method to detect same ontological class using components within ontology including label and property. Moreover, a synonym set gained from language resources such as WordNet and dictionary is included to detect synonymous classes with different surface form. These features are utilized to determine a similarity of classes in alignment. From testing, we found that the proposed method can automatically detect both explicitly and implicitly similar classes. The best combination of features is the exploitation of property and synonym for obtaining about 86% in f-measure while using only synonym gave highest precision for 92%.
