Experimental Evaluation of Multi-Agent Ontology Mapping Framework

Ontology mapping is a prerequisite for achieving heterogeneous data integration on the Semantic Web. The vision of the Semantic Web implies that a large number of ontologies are present on the Web that needs to be aligned before one can make use of them e.g. question answering on the Semantic Web. During the recent years a number of mapping algorithms, frameworks and tools, have been proposed to address the problem of ontology mapping. Unfortunately comparing and evaluating these tools is not a straightforward task as these solutions are mainly designed for different domains. In this paper we introduce our ontology mapping framework called "DSSim" and present in experimental evaluation based on the tracks of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI 2008).
