Abstract

More and more systems contain some kind of knowledge describing their field of operation. Such knowledge in many cases is stored as an ontology. A need arises for ability to quickly match those ontologies to enable interoperability of such systems. The paper presents a lexicon based algorithm for merging and aligning of OWL ontologies. The proposed similarity levels are being presented and the proposed algorithm is being described. Results of test showing the algorithm quality are presented.
