Abstract:

In order to solve the semantic irreconcilable problems caused by contextual differences during the process of ontology integration, a context-driven reconciliation mechanism is proposed.The mechanism is based on the previous work about a context-based formalism—Context-SHOIQ(D+)DL, which is used for explicitly representing context of ontology by adopting the description logic and the category theory.The formalism is extended by adding four migration rules(InclusionRule, SelectionRule, PreferenceRule, and MappingRule), that are used to specify what should be imported into the IntegrativeContext, and three related contextual integration operations of increasing interoperability(import, partial reconciliation, and full reconciliation).While not exhaustive, the mechanism is sufficient for solving the five types of semantic irreconcilable problems that are discussed, and favors integration of ontologies from one context to another.
