GAOM: Genetic Algorithm Based Ontology Matching
Proceedings of the IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Services Computing (APSCC), page 617--620. Washington, DC, USA, IEEE Computer Society, (2006)Abstract
In this paper a genetic algorithm-based optimization procedure for ontology matching problem is presented as a feature-matching process. First, from a global view, we model the problem of ontology matching as an optimization problem of a mapping between two compared ontologies, and every ontology has its associated feature sets. Second, as a powerful heuristic search strategy, genetic algorithm is employed for the ontology matching problem. Given a certain mapping as optimizing object for GA, fitness function is defined as a global similarity measure function between two ontologies based on feature sets. Finally, a set of experiments are conducted to analysis and evaluate the performance of GA in solving ontology matching problem.
