We address the problem of reasoning with instances of heterogeneously formalized ontologies. Given a set of semantic mappings, reconciling conceptual and instance level heterogenei...
The overall problem addressed in this paper is to improve semantic interoperability in heterogeneous systems. Normally, the semantics of data is carried by ontology (concept model)...
Distributed Description Logics (DDLs) is a KR formalism that enables reasoning with multiple ontologies interconnected by directional semantic mapping (bridge rules). DDLs capture ...
This paper presents the results of LILY, which is an ontology mapping system, for OAEI 2007 campaign. To accurately describe what the real meaning of an entity in the original onto...
Ontology is increasingly seen as a key factor for enabling interoperability across heterogeneous systems and semantic web applications. Ontology mapping is required for combining ...
