OMEN: A Probabilistic Ontology Mapping Tool

Abstract. Most existing ontology mapping tools do not provide exact mappings. Rather, there is usually some degree of uncertainty. We describe a framework to improve existing ontology mappings using a Bayesian Network. Omen, an Ontology Mapping ENhancer uses a set of meta-rules that capture the influence of the ontology structure and the semantics of ontology relations and matches nodes that are neighbors of already matched nodes in the two ontologies. We have implemented a protype ontology matcher that can enhance existing matches between ontology concepts. Preliminary experiments demonstrate that Omen successfully identifies and enhances ontology mappings.
