Abstract:
In the semantic web environment, where several independent
ontologies are used in order to describe knowledge and data, ontologies
have to be aligned by defining mappings among the elements of one ontology
and the elements of another ontology. Very often, mappings are not
derived from the semantics of the ontologies that are compared. Rather,
mappings are computed by evaluating the similarity of the ontologies terminology
and/or of their syntactic structure. In this paper, we propose
a new mapping validation approach. The approach is based on the notion
of probabilistic mappings and on the use of probabilistic reasoning
techniques to enforce a semantic interpretation of similarity mappings as
probabilistic and hypothetical relations among ontology elements.
