Patrick Lambrix, He Tan:
A Tool for Evaluating Ontology Alignment Strategies.
Abstract
Ontologies are an important technology for the Semantic
Web. In different areas ontologies have already been developed and many of
these ontologies contain overlapping information. Often we would therefore
want to be able to use multiple ontologies. To obtain good results, we
need to find the relationships between terms in the different ontologies,
i.e. we need to align them. Currently, there exist a number of systems
that support users in aligning ontologies, but not many comparative
evaluations have been performed and there exists little support to perform
such evaluations. However, the study of the properties, the evaluation and
comparison of the alignment strategies and their combinations, would give
us valuable insight in how the strategies could be used in the best
way. In this paper we propose the KitAMO framework for comparative
evaluation of ontology alignment strategies and their combinations and
present our current implementation. We evaluate the implementation with
respect to performance. We also illustrate how the system can be used to
evaluate and compare alignment strategies and their combinations in terms
of performance and quality of the proposed alignments. Further, we show
how the results can be analyzed to obtain deeper insights into the
properties of the strategies.
