Abstract

In this paper we propose a new tool called OWL-CM (OWL Combining Matcher) that deals with uncertainty inherent to ontology mapping process. On the one hand, OWL-CM uses the technique of similarity metrics to assess the equivalence between ontology entities and on the other hand, it incorporates belief functions theory into the mapping process in order to improve the effectiveness of the results computed by different matchers and to provide a generic framework for combining them. Our experiments which are carried out with the benchmark of Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative 2006 demonstrate good results.
