Methodology for generating a consistent semantic model by filtering and fusing multi-source ontologies

摘要

A system, for filtering and fusing multi-source ontologies. The system includes a tangible processing controller unit and non-transitory computer-readable storage device in communication with the tangible processing controller unit. The storage device includes a first receiving unit that, when executed by the tangible processing control unit, receives a plurality of ontologies, each ontology having a set of rules and a class structure with a plurality of data classes. The storage device also includes a second receiving unit that, when executed, receives data. The device also includes a comparison unit that compares the data classes from the plurality of ontologies, and a merging unit that merges the data classes that are identical or consistent into a new data class. The storage device also includes a discarding unit that discards the data classes that are inconsistent. The storage device also includes a new-set-generation unit that generates a new set of class structure.
