Ontology mapping is a key interoperability enabler for the semantic web. In this paper,a new ontology mapping approach called ontology mapping based on Bayesian network( OM-BN) is proposed. OM-BN combines the models of ontology and Bayesian Network,and applies the method of Multi-strategy to computing similarity. In OM-BN,the characteristics of ontology,such as tree structure and semantic inclusion relations among concepts,are used during the process of translation from ontology to ontology Bayesian network( OBN). Then the method of Multi-strategy is used to create similarity table( ST) for each concept-node in OBN. Finally,the iterative process of mapping reasoning is used to deduce new mappings from STs,repeatedly.
