A method for integration of WordNet-based ontologies using distance measures

초록

While there is a large body of previous work focused on WordNet-based for finding the semantic similarity of concepts and words, the application of these word oriented methods to ontology integration tasks has not been yet explored. In this paper, we propose a methodology of WordNet-based distance measures, and we apply the meaning of concepts of upper ontologies to an ontology integration process by providing semantic network called OnConceptSNet. It is a semantic network of concepts of ontologies in which relations between concepts derived from upper ontology WordNet. We also describe a methodology for conflict in ontology integration process. ? 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
