In this paper we propose an ontology matching paradigm based on the idea of harvesting the Semantic Web, i.e., automatically finding and exploring multiple and heterogeneous online...
Modularity is a key requirement for large ontologies in order to achieve re-use, maintainability, and evolution. Mechanisms for ‘normalisation’ to achieve analogous aims are s...
In current Semantic Web community, some researches have been done on ranking ontologies, while very little is paid to ranking vocabularies within ontology. However, finding importa...
We address the problem of reasoning with instances of heterogeneously formalized ontologies. Given a set of semantic mappings, reconciling conceptual and instance level heterogenei...
Abstract. We propose a novel approach to reverse engineering of relational databases to ontologies. Our approach is based on the idea that semantics of a relational database can be...
