Abstract
Semantic integration remains a challenge, but it is particularly problematic in areas such as e-commerce, where ontologies are either nonexistent or have lightweight axiomatizations. In this paper we present a case study that examines how two weak ontologies can be mapped together in the e-commerce setting. We also examine the role that upper-level interlingua ontologies can play in the development of ontology mappings.
