BUSINESS ONTOLOGIES COOPERATION
Résumé
In the context of the cooperation between heterogeneous and distributed information sources, ontologies are a main issue. To represent shared knowledge, an hybrid domain ontology is designed and to respect each point of view of different experts, local ontologies are created. Since experts are willing to cooperate, similarities must be identified to build mappings between the concepts of the different ontologies. We propose a computer-aided system to allow the experts to choice similarity measures on demand. We apply this work to the geotechnic domain which involves various businesses.
