Abstract

With the development of the Internet of Things, sensor ontologies have been applied to a variety of fields. Most sensor ontologies are currently built for applications in specific domains, and these ontologies are usually heterogeneous, making it difficult to share or reuse knowledge and concepts. The ontology association methods can be used to construct the semantic mapping between heterogeneous ontologies, so as to effectively determine the similarity between concepts in the ontologies. However, most of the contemporary methods do not make full use of the information that is stored in ontologies and are insufficient for the effective association. This paper proposes a novel association method based on comprehensive similarity. In our proposed method, we first use How-Net to obtain concept representation and calculate the semantic similarity of ontology concepts through sememe Tree and sememe Hierarchy. Then we calculate the structural similarity by the internal structure and the hierarchical relationship between the ontologies and remove the conceptual pairs with low relevance. Finally, we combine the semantic similarity and structural similarity to calculate the similarity matrix between ontology concepts to achieve association. The experimental results on real data show that our method can effectively associate sensor data with domain ontology by combining two different similarity calculation methods.
