A Framework for Improving the Performance of Ontology Matching Techniques in Semantic Web

Author 1: Kamel Hussein Shafa’amri Author 2: Jalal Omer Atoum

Ontology matching is the process of finding correspondences between semantically related entities of different ontologies. We need to apply this process to solve the heterogeneity problems between different ontologies. Some ontologies may contain thousands of entities which make the ontology matching process very complex in terms of space and time… Read full abstract & cite →
