Abstract
In the Web service community, services may be exchanged among distributed environments. Actually, web services are described in terms of ontologies. When ontologies are distributed, arises the problem of achieving sematic interoperability. This problem is undertaken by a process which defines rules to relate relevant parts of different ontologies, called “Ontology Mapping”. The present paper describes a methodology for automatic and semantic mapping of ontologies, basing our approach on a mathematical model called Information FlowModel and denoted IF Model.
