The research of ontology merging based on rough concept lattice isomorphic merging

Abstract

Ontology merging is the process of merging two or more source ontology to goal ontology. Ontology merging means that getting some ontology existed in the domain together, eliminating the overlap and not harmonious part. The paper aims at different scale ontology, takes different approaches. For the lightweight ontology uses the ontology merging technology of RFCA-based for ontology merges; for the heavyweight ontology, the paper proposes the ontology merging methods based on rough concept lattice isomorphism merging. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
