Abstract

There are a lot of heterogeneous ontologies in semantic web, and the task of ontology mapping is to find their semantic relationship. There are integrated methods that only simply combine the similarity values which are used in current multi-strategy ontology mapping. The semantic information is not included in them and a lot of manual intervention is also needed, so it leads to that some factual mapping relations are missed. Addressing this issue, the work presented in this paper puts forward an ontology matching approach, which uses multi-strategy mapping technique to carry on similarity iterative computation and explores both linguistic and structural similarity. Our approach takes different similarities into one whole, as a similarity cube. By cutting operation, similarity vectors are obtained, which form the similarity space, and by this way, mapping discovery can be converted into binary classification. Support vector machine (SVM) has good generalization ability and can obtain best compromise between complexity of model and learning capability when solving small samples and the nonlinear problem. Because of the said reason, we employ SVM in our approach. For making full use of the information of ontology, our implementation and experimental results used a common dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of the mapping approach. It ensures the recall ration while improving the quality of mapping results.
