Measuring the Structural Preservation of Semantic Hierarchy Alignment
We present a method to measure the amount of structural distortion carried by an alignment between two taxonomic cores of ontologies represented as semantic hierarchies. We present our formalism based in metric order theory. We then illustrate the results of such an analysis on the Anatomy track of the 2008 Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI). Key words: Ontology alignment; lattice theory; order theory.
