Ontology-based Integration and Retrieval over Multiple Quantities - What if 'Ovate leaves and often blue to purple flowers'

摘要

Information integration and retrieval have been important problems for many information systems - it is hard to combine multidimensional and parallel information and make them available for application queries. In our previous work [12], we have shown how to use ontologies to facilitate integrating and querying parallel but single dimensional information. In this paper, we further investigate how to take advantage of ontologies to facilitate integrating parallel information and querying over multiple quantities.
