AN APPROACH TO MATCH AND INTEGRATE ONTOLOGY USING ONTOLOGY REPOSITORY AND RULE BASE

Abstract

There exist a lot of ontologies that together can enrich knowledge within one or several related domains, thereby supporting the development of advanced services on the semantic web. This requires matching and integrating ontologies. This paper introduces an ontology matching process that handles the heterogeneities. The result is an intersection of the two original ontologies. An ontology repository stores the original ontologies and the matching results. A rule base is designed to integrate stored ontologies and the matching results with metadata, which is describing the interpretation of these ontologies and ontology matching results. The contribution of our approach is the semantic violation check which results in an ontology intersection that validates in the original ontologies. The metadata is applied with rules to integrate the ontologies so that the ontology and the matching results can be reused.
