Background-based Ontology Mapping

Zharko Aleksovski Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam

Ontology matching is one of the most urgent and important problems on the Semantic Web. In the recent years it became apparent that using existing ontologies to mediate the matching process can have tremendous benefit as compared to the traditional matching methods.
This presentation provides: overview of a framework to perform ontology matching using other ontologies as background knowledge and an insight in matching experiments conducted with existing ontologies. Two ontologies were matched: NALT and Agrovoc, and other six ontologies taken from the Semantic Web were used as background knowledge. The experiments reveal what are the major causes for false matches, and how different characteristics of the background knowledge affect the matching performance.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
