Nagy, Miklos; Vargas-Vera, Maria and Motta, Enrico (2005). Ontology Mapping with domain specific agents in the AQUA Question Answering System. In: The 2nd Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC05), 29 May - 1 Jun 2005, Heraklion, Greece.

Abstract

This paper describes a domain specific multi-agent ontology-mapping solution in the AQUA query answering system. In order to incorporate uncertainty inherent to the mapping process, the system uses the Dempster-Shafer model for dealing with incomplete and uncertain information produced during the mapping. A novel approach is presented how specialized agents with partial local knowledge of the particular domain achieve ontology mapping without creating global or reference ontology. Our approach is particularly fit for a query-answering scenario, where answer needs to be created in real time to satisfy a query posed by the user.
