Abstract
Ontologies are increasingly important in the Semantic Web and biomedical information system fields. Ontology alignment (OA) is the process of finding semantic mappings between the concepts of two given ontologies. OA systems have begun using mediating ontologies pre-selected to improve OA performance. This research investigates the automatic selection of a set of mediating ontologies from a large set of ontologies in the biomedical domain. BioPortal, an online library offering biomedical ontologies via web API and web browsing, is used as the background knowledge source. The anatomy and the large biomedical ontologies tracks of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative are used to evaluate this approach which is implemented as a software component accessed from a leading OA system LogMap. The experimental results show automatically selected mediating ontologies improve the recall and f-measure for the anatomy track. For the large biomedical ontologies track, three of the six tasks show some overall improvement.
