|
Abstract:
An important task for ontology merging and mapping is to detect similar concepts in different ontologies as likely merging or mapping points.Usually,concepts with similar names are considered to be promising candidates.However,it is quite probable that concepts with lexically similar names are not semantically similar or compatible.In this paper,we presented a method to compare the semantic distance between concepts from four perspectives,capturing the meaning of a concept from its position in the containin...
