Abstract Details

2017, Master of Computer Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
Ontologies, a critical component in fields such as biomedical information, healthcare, e-commerce, and the Semantic Web, sometimes require mappings between them for interoperability. Ontology alignment (OA) is the process of finding mappings between the concepts of two different ontologies of the same domain. This research investigates the partitioning/clustering of ontologies into smaller blocks for the alignment task. An advantage is to allow aligning smaller modules of the large ontologies so that OA systems unable to complete the alignment between the whole ontologies may do so between their smaller modules. The Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative competition’s large biomedical ontologies track is used for evaluation. The partitioning algorithms are implemented in the OA system LogMap. LogMap is then used to both create ontology modules from the partitions and perform alignment between the ontology modules. FCA-Map, unable to complete many tasks in this track, is also used. The results of this evaluation are reported and analyzed.
