Domain Ontologies Evolutions to Solve Semantic Conflicts

摘要

The growth and variety of distributed information sources imply a need to exchange and/or to share information extracted from various and heterogeneous databases. The cooperation of heterogeneous information systems requires advanced architectures able to solve conflicts coming from data heterogeneity (structural and semantic heterogeneity). To resolve semantic conflicts relatively to evolutive domain ontologies following databases evolution according to the dialogue between agents, taking care of scalability issues, we propose a multi-agent system. These interaction protocols allowing ontologies evolution are currently implemented by using Java and the JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment framework) platform.
