A flexible system for ontology matching

Abstract

Most of the solutions provided by current ontology matching tools lack flexibility and extensibility namely for adding new matchers and dealing with users' requirements. In this paper, we present a system YAM++, which supports self-configuration, flexibility and extensibility in combining individual matchers. Additionally, it is more human-centered approach since it allows users to express their preference between precision and recall. A set of experiments over OAEI Benchmark datasets demonstrate its effectiveness and efficiency in terms of quality of matching and flexibility of the system. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
