Abstract

There exists a large body of scientific literature devoted to ontology matching, aligning, mapping translating and merging. With it, comes a long list (90+) of tools that support various aspects of these operations. We have approached such tools from the perspective of the INTER-IoT project, in which one of the goals is to facilitate semantic interoperability of Internet of Things platforms. Thus, we had to answer a question: what is actually available when one needs to align/merge ontologies. Here, we summarize our findings.
