OWL2Vec4OA: Tailoring Knowledge Graph Embeddings for Ontology Alignment
This work addresses ontology alignment for semantic interoperability, but it is incremental as it builds on an existing embedding system.
The paper tackles the problem of ontology alignment by proposing OWL2Vec4OA, an extension of OWL2Vec* that incorporates edge confidence values from seed mappings to guide random walks, demonstrating potential effectiveness in experiments.
Ontology alignment is integral to achieving semantic interoperability as the number of available ontologies covering intersecting domains is increasing. This paper proposes OWL2Vec4OA, an extension of the ontology embedding system OWL2Vec*. While OWL2Vec* has emerged as a powerful technique for ontology embedding, it currently lacks a mechanism to tailor the embedding to the ontology alignment task. OWL2Vec4OA incorporates edge confidence values from seed mappings to guide the random walk strategy. We present the theoretical foundations, implementation details, and experimental evaluation of our proposed extension, demonstrating its potential effectiveness for ontology alignment tasks.
