Abstract :
In recent years, ontologies, as one of the most important components of the semantic web, have expanded in various fields. The problem of ontology matching has been raised with the aim of creating a set of mappings between entities of ontologies. This problem is classified as an NP-hard problem. Therefore, greedy methods have been proposed to solve it in different ways. Selecting the appropriate lexical, structural and semantic similarity criteria and using an effective combination method to obtain the final mapping is one of the most important challenges of these methods. In this paper, an automatic method of matching ontologies is proposed to provide a one-to-one mapping set. This method detects primary mappings based on a new lexical similarity criterion, which is accordance with the descriptive essence of entities and combining this similarity with semantic similarity obtained from external semantic sources. By locally propagating the score of initial mappings in the class hierarchy graph, structurally matching entities are identified. In this method, property matching is examined in a separate step. In the final step, the mapping filter is applied in order to maintain the consistency of the final mapping set. In the evaluation section, comparing the performance of the lexical similarity measure compared to other proposed textual similarity measures, indicates the efficiency of this measure in the problem of ontology matching. In addition, the results of the proposed matching system compared to the results of the set of participating systems in the OAEI competitions shows this system in the second place and higher than many complex matching systems.
