Abstract

Ontology alignment has impact in how ontologies will be treated by actors in semantic web and stills an unsolved issue. To contribute in this issue, we present an algorithm developed in the GNoSIS system. This solution uses both syntactic and semantic techniques in a structural approach. The algorithm uses distinct resemblance functions and calculates the degree of similarity between the concepts in a recursive manner, calculating the resemblance function result between concepts based on the total similarity degree between concepts with a close kinship. A validation of this approach is presented in this article.
