Abstract

Harmonization of terminologies used in industrial standards has been widely understood to be necessary for better interoperability of industrial information systems. Partial automation of the terminology comparison and matching phases of this process is necessary, in order to reduce the workload of human experts. Terminology dictionaries have been developed by various national or international organizations and for different contexts, so their taxonomy structure and lexical content can be very different. Further, because they cannot be considered as true ontologies, advanced ontology matching techniques are not directly applicable. The goal of our research was to develop a lightweight element matching approach based on structural similarities of concept names. This approach is applicable, when similar naming conventions and rules have been applied during the development of both terminology dictionaries. In this paper, we present a new ElemMatcher method and demonstrate its application to the harmonization of PSK standards with ISO 15926-4. PSK Standardisation is an association of Finnish industry.
