Knee Solution-Driven, Decomposition-Dased Multi-Objective Particle Swarm
Optimization for Ontology Meta-Matching
Abstract
As the latest information exchange model, ontology is favored by
information systems, but the heterogeneity of ontology has seriously
influenced the interaction and cooperation between these systems.
Ontology matching is considered an effective method to solve the
ontology heterogeneity problem whose kernel technology is a similarity
measure. However, a single measure cannot achieve satisfactory ontology
alignments. To this end, integrating different similarity measures is
feasible. First of all, due to the difference in user preferences for
alignment quality, the ontology matching problem is modeled as a
continuous multi-objective optimization model. Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO) is suitable for solving continuous optimization
problems and previous studies have found that decomposition-based
methods are more suitable for solving ontology matching. Then,
considering the user’s preference, a knee solution-driven,
decomposition-based multi-objective particle swarm algorithm (K-MOPSO/D)
is designed to solve the ontology matching. Finally, the effectiveness
of our proposed method is verified by standard test cases from the
well-known OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative), and its
performance is compared with the state-of-the-art matching methods.
