Ontology matching aims at making ontologies interoperable. While the field has fully developed in the last years, most approaches are still limited to the generation of simple correspondences. More expressiveness is, however, required to better address the different kinds of ontology heterogeneities. This paper presents CANARD (Complex Alignment Ne...

Ontology matching is the task of generating a set of correspondences (i.e., an alignment) between the entities of different ontologies. While most efforts on alignment evaluation have been dedicated to the evaluation of simple alignments (i.e., those linking one single entity of a source ontology to one single entity of a target ontology), the emer...

Ontology matching aims at making different ontologies interoperable. While most approaches have addressed the generation of simple correspondences, more expressiveness is required to better address the different kinds of ontology heterogeneities. This paper presents an approach for generating complex correspondences that relies on the notion of com...

Simple ontology alignments, largely studied in the literature, link one single entity of a source ontology to one single entity of a target ontology. One of the limitations of these alignments is, however, their lack of expressiveness, which can be overcome by complex alignments, which are composed of correspondences involving logical constructors...

The development of semi-automated and automated ontology alignment techniques is an important part of realizing the potential of the Semantic Web. Until very recently, most existing work in this area was focused on finding simple (1:1) equivalence correspondences between two ontologies. However, many real-world ontology pairs involve correspondence...

The Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) aims at comparing ontology matching systems on precisely defined test cases. These test cases can be based on ontologies of different levels of complexity (from simple thesauri to expressive OWL ontologies) and use different evaluation modalities (e.g., blind evaluation, open evaluation, or consen...

The Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud is composed of data repositories. The data in the repositories are described by vocabularies also called ontologies. Each ontology has its own terminology and model. This leads to heterogeneity between them. To make the ontologies and the data they describe interoperable, ontology alignments establish correspondence...

An increasing amount of data sets have being published on the Linked Open Data (LOD), covering different aspects of overlapping domains. This is typically the case of agronomy and related fields, where several LOD data sets describing different points of view on scientific classifications have been published. This opens emerging opportunities in th...

Farmers have new information needs to change their agricultural practices. The Linked Open Data is a considerable source of knowledge, separated into several heterogeneous and complementary datasets. This paper presents a process to query LOD datasets from a known ontology using complex alignments. The approach was applied on AgronomicTaxon, a taxo...
