Abstract

We introduce the flexible approach for determining agents' orientation on ontology mappings (FDO), which provides a flexible mechanism for agents to decide whether or not they support an argument about a mapping. Whilst this results in agents relaxing some preferences over suitable mappings, it produces a larger consensus of possible mappings due to the generation of a greater number of arguments in favour of the candidate mappings (compared to Laera et al.'s MbA approach), and better reflects the agents preferences than when only a single threshold and preference value are used.
