Abstract

We introduce in this paper correspondence patternsas templates to model ontology alignments. Correspondence patterns capture regularities recurring when aligning ontologies. They come in complement of ontology matching algorithms and graphical mapping tools, and facilitate the task of the engineer building the alignment between a pair of ontologies. We develop an ontology mediation framework based on three ontology correspondence abstraction levels. We particularly detail the most abstract level: correspondence patterns.
