Mapping Ontologies - Tools, a Suite, and an Application

Before continuing, I want to devote a little space to fleshing out the subject of Mapping Ontologies, which I have alluded to in a couple of earlier posts. Mapping is a process in which we first try to find similarity between individual elements of two ontologies. We compare the elements on the basis of their names and attributes.

Using NeOn Toolkit

Note: The Watson plug-in to the NeOn Toolkit (see my September 27 post below) allows the user to select entities of the currently edited ontology and to automatically trigger queries to a remote ontology.

When incorporating data semantics into the searching process, the correctness of searching can depend directly on mapping results.
