AgriMatch: A dynamic Ontology Matching System

Multiple conceptualizations are inevitable, especially in a widely distributed large scale system like the web. Every information community share a given conceptualization which may be different from another information community. Despite this difference in views, people and organizations need to exchange information. Data from various systems, structured under different information models, need to be integrated and accessed uniformly for various purposes. A possible way of dealing with this problem is to consolidate multiple conceptualizations into a unified form. Corresponding elements of the multiple conceptualizations may be mapped and treated uniformly. The aligned conceptualization (known as ontologies) can be used to annotate a document to add more meaning to the document. A search performed over these pages returns more informative that has high precision and recall.
