Integrating ontologies by means of semantic partitioning

Abstract

The growth of interest in Semantic Web has increased the number of ontologies. Necessity of dealing with different ontologies at the same time has enhanced the research on ontology integration. This paper is focused on integrating ontologies covering the same domain. In particular, a novel approach of semantically parsing multiword elements (SPME) is presented in this paper. What is more, paper exemplifies the approach on ontology examples from e-learning domain and confirms the approach with existing ontologies. In addition, paper shows that it produces results with respect to information retrieval techniques.
