Extending HCONE-Merge by Approximating the Intended Meaning of Ontology Concepts Iteratively

A central aspect of HCONE-merge is the mapping of ontology concepts to a hidden intermediate ontology by uncovering the intended meaning of concepts. Such a mapping is realized by a semantic morphism from ontology concepts to WordNet senses. Extending methods that have already been proposed, this paper proposes an iterative algorithm for approximating the intended meanings of ontology concepts in a fully automated way. Results from numerous experiments are thoroughly described and conclusions are drawn.
