Consistent view mapping of large-scale ontology

Abstract

In the field of knowledge representation on large-scale ontology, there exists inevitable semantic inconsistency. The inconsistency in ontology is likely to preserve potential raw data. How to provide user the distinct personalized usage without any data lost and without inconsistency is a conundrum left to be solved. In this paper, an ontology view mapping mode is presented, which can create mapping from the original semantic dataset to the ontology views. It is processed through ontology parsing, reconstruction and consistency checking. The difficulties of semantic inconsistency and multiculture expression conflict in large-scale ontology are smoothly solved by this model. As a result, original inconsistent ontology can be reused with several view mappings, without any inconsistency. The designed experiments verify our model and achieve the expected results. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
