Ontology Matching Through Absolute Orientation of Embedding Spaces

원문 초록

Ontology matching is a core task when creating interoperable and linked open datasets. In this paper, we explore a novel structure-based mapping approach which is based on knowledge graph embeddings: The ontologies to be matched are embedded, and an approach known as absolute orientation is used to align the two embedding spaces. Next to the approach, the paper presents a first, preliminary evaluation using synthetic and real-world datasets. We find in experiments with synthetic data, that the approach works very well on similarly structured graphs; it handles alignment noise better than size and structural differences in the ontologies.
