Ontology Mapping Negotiation Based on Categorization of Semantic Bridges
Abstract
Ontology mapping negotiation aims to achieve consensus among real-world entities about the process of transforming information between different ontologies. This paper describes a novel ontology mapping negotiation approach, based on the categorization of semantic bridges according to their confidence and rele-vance to the interoperability. The semantic bridges are then proposed between two agents in order to derive an ontology mapping agreement. Agents representing the real-world entities are able to achieve consensus based on the re-categorization of semantic bridges. The negotiation process, the intervenients and flow of execution is further described, thus presenting an integrated perspective of the envisaged system.
