AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF DUPLICATED ATTRIBUTES IN ONTOLOGY

Abstract

Semantic heterogeneity is the ambiguous interpretation of terms describing the meaning of data in heterogeneous data sources such as databases. This is a well-known problem in data integration. A recent solution to this problem is to use ontologies, which is called ontology-based data integration. However, ontologies can contain duplicated attributes, which can lead to improper integration results. This paper proposes a novel approach that analyzes a workload of queries over an ontology to automatically calculate (semantic) distances between attributes, which are then used for duplicate detection.
