Rough concept lattice based ontology similarity measure

With the rapid development of the semantic web, it is likely that the number of ontologies will greatly increase during the next few years, which leads to the arising demand for rapid ontology mapping. In this paper, a novel similarity measure method based on rough set and concept lattice is proposed to realize ontology mapping tasks. A reference concept lattice is first constructed with the combination of two normalized contexts. Rough set theory is then employed to calculate the similarity measure of the two ontology nodes. With a specified threshold, the final result of ontology mapping can be obtained. Compared with other mapping algorithms, the proposed ontology mapping method is featural and structural, and the experiment shows the performance of the mapping method.
