Applying Rely/Guarantee in Compositional Ontology Alignment

Abstract

There exist different traditional methods which can help in aligning the entire ontology. The ontology can be aligned either with the comparison of matching two similar ontologies, or by comparing classes with the globally published class or the class which has been reused within the same ontology. However, traditional methods are ineffective as being dependent on either the attributes defined within the class or by checking their semantics and therefore providing attribute to segregate classes of same nature. We adopted the idea of Rely/Guarantee from distributed systems area, while proposed the same to align Ontology, which can actually align the class more efficiently, making the Ontology the effective one.
