%0 Journal Article %T Semantic Schema Matching Using DBpedia %A Saira Gillani %A Muhammad Naeem %A Raja Habibullah %A Amir Qayyum %J International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications %D 2013 %I MECS Publisher %X In semantic computing, Match is an operator that takes as an input two graph-like structures; it can be database schemas or XML schemas and generates a mapping between the corresponding nodes of the two graphs. In semantic schema matching, we attempt to explore the mappings between the two schemas; based on their semantics by employing any semantic similarity measure. In this study, we have defined taxonomy of all possible semantic similarity measures; moreover we also proposed an approach that exploits semantic relations stored in the DBpedia dataset while utilizing a hybrid ranking system to dig out the similarity between nodes of the two graphs. %K Data Component %K Schema %K Similarity Measure %K DBpedia %U http://www.mecs-press.org/ijisa/ijisa-v5-n4/v5n4-7.html
