We propose an application of a statistical relational learning method as a means for automatic detection of semantic correspondences between concepts of OWL ontologies. The presented method is based on an algebraic data representation which, in contrast to well-known graphical models, imposes no arbitrary assumption with regard to the data model structure. We use a probabilistic relevance model as the basis for the estimation of the most plausible matches. We experimentally evaluate the proposed method employing datasets developed for the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) Anatomy track, for the task of identifying matches between concepts of Adult Mouse Anatomy ontology and NCI Thesaurus ontology on the basis of expert matches partially provided to the system.
