Instance-Based Matching of Large Life Science Ontologies
Ontologies are heavily used in life sciences so that there is increasing value to match different ontologies in order to determine related conceptual categories. We propose a simpl...

An Empirical Study of Instance-Based Ontology Matching
Instance-based ontology mapping is a promising family of solutions to a class of ontology alignment problems. It crucially depends on measuring the similarity between sets of annot...

Instance-based matching of hierarchical ontologies
Abstract: We study an instance-based approach for matching hierarchical ontologies, such as product catalogs. The motivation for utilizing instances is that metadata-based match ap...

Adapting a Generic Match Algorithm to Align Ontologies of Human Anatomy
The difficulty inherent in schema matching has led to the development of several generic match algorithms. This paper describes how we adapted general approaches to the specific t...

A System for Ontologically-Grounded Probabilistic Matching
This paper is part of a project to match descriptions of real-world instances and probabilistic models, both of which can be described at mulvel of abstraction and detail. We use ...
