MODEL BASED SYNTHESIS APPROACH FOR COMBINING ONTOLOGY ALIGNMENT METHODS

摘要

Combining different ontology alignment methods is a major problem while increasing the number of agents in the social welfare organisation. Each agent is responsible for computing mappings with respect to some specific ontology element using a particular alignment method. Each agent should interact with other agents and share the constraints. Interacting agents form a factor graph. Utilities for alignment composed of functions and variables. Agents need to reach an agreement to the mapping of the ontology elements consistently to the semantics of specifications. Addressing this synthesizing problem by using the max-sum algorithm to generate near-to-optimal solutions to the alignment of ontologies Model based synthesis approach is proposed here to improve the optimality of the results of each individual alignment methods.
