中文简介:
随着越来越多的本体和本体实例被发布到政府和医疗保健等特定领域,本体对齐是链接数据Web的一个重要问题。近年来,人们提出了许多(半)自动对准系统。大多数将词汇、语义和结构特征上的一组相似函数组合在一起,以对齐本体。尽管这些功能在许多本体对齐的情况下都能很好地工作,但是当术语或结构在本体之间发生巨大变化时,它们无法捕获对齐。在这种情况下,必须依靠手动对齐。本文研究了专家提供的本体对齐方法在新的对齐任务中的重用是否可行。我们特别关注多对一的路线,如果路线稳定,重新使用的机会是可行的。具体来说,我们将集群的概念定义为由源本体中的多个实体组成,这些实体映射到目标本体T中的同一个实体。我们检验了源本体形成的集群在不同目标本体的对齐中是稳定的这一稳定性假设。如果这个假设是有效的,那么可以有效地利用从现有的与本体T";的一致性构建的本体S集群,使S与新的本体T";一致。对手动和自动高质量对齐的评估表明,在金融领域和医疗保健和生命科学领域,跨本体对齐的集群具有显著的稳定性。实验评估也证明了利用簇的稳定性来提高对准过程的精度和召回率的有效性。
课程简介: Ontology alignment is an important problem for the linked data web, as more and more ontologies and ontology instances get published for specific domains such as government and healthcare. A number of (semi-)automated alignment systems have been proposed in recent years. Most combine a set of similarity functions on lexical, semantic and structural features to align ontologies. Although these functions work well in many cases of ontology alignments, they fail to capture alignments when terms or structure varies vastly across ontologies. In this case, one is forced to rely on manual alignment. In this paper, we study whether it is feasible to re-use such expert provided ontology alignments for new alignment tasks. We focus in particular on many-to-one alignments, where the opportunity for re-use is feasible if alignments are stable. Specifically, we define the notion of a cluster as being made of multiple entities in the source ontology S that are mapped to the same entity in the target ontology T . We test the stability hypothesis that the formed clusters of source ontology are stable across alignments to different target ontologies. If this hypothesis is valid, the clusters of an ontology S, built from an existing alignment with an ontology T "can be effectively exploited to align S with a new ontology T". Evaluation on both manual and automated high-quality alignments show remarkable stability of clusters across ontology alignments in the financial domain and the healthcare and life sciences domain. Experimental evaluation also demonstrates the effectiveness of utilizing the stability of clusters in improving the alignment process in terms of precision and recall.
