本体映射可以有效解决异构本体间的互操作问题。在本体映射的研究中,已经存在很多建立映射的方法和工具,但针对如何应用本体映射完成特定任务的研究却很少。探讨了本体映射的应用模式,提出一个基于映射的自动实例转换框架(MAIT),并展示了相关的转换算法。该框架可以在基于本体的环境(如:语义Web)中将源本体的实例自动转换为目标本体的实例。实验结果表明提出的框架和算法是可行的,也是有效的。
Ontology mapping is the most effective solution to achieve the interoperability among heterogeneous ontologies.There already exists many algorithms and tools for creating mapping,but less research focus on the actual usage of the created mappings for a specific task.This paper discusses the application of ontology mapping,and proposes a framework for automatic instance transformation based on mapping,and presents relative transforming algorithms.This framework can work in any ontologybased environment such as semantic Web,and transform the instance between source ontology and target ontology automatically. The experimental results reveal that the framework and algorithms are feasible and effective.
