A Revised Distributed Interpretation for Ontology Integration

Abstract:

Under the background of information integration, the semantics of ontology integration is still an open issue. In this paper, we propose a revised distributed interpretation which is adapted from distributed description logics. In our proposal, ontology integration is taken as global ontology and local ontologies connected by ontology mapping. They are respectively interpreted with DL semantics and Semantic Import semantics. In this way, our method can facilitate understanding and maintenance of ontology integration.
