Abstract

The formalization of the inventive design process has become an important problem to be solved. Formalizing the inventive design process based on ontologies is a good approach, and using the matching approaches available to solve the specific matching problems in inventive design ontologies is worth to be examined. In fact, there are different knowledge sources used for solving inventive design problems. These sources are about similar notions, but the level of detail of their description is very different. We are interested in the formalisation of these knowledge sources (for the moment described in natural language) and to make the whole body complete and coherent. It is needed, therefore, to make the links among them explicit. It is a typical problem of ontology matching. This article presents a survey of the possible ontology matching approaches for the specific characteristics of this problem.
