Fault-tolerant semantic mappings among heterogeneous and distributed local ontologies

Published: 30 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Overcoming semantic mapping faults, i.e. semantic incompatibility, is a vital issue for the success of semantic-based peer-to-peer systems. There are various research efforts which address the classification and the resolution of the semantic mapping fault problem, i.e. translation errors. All of the precedent research related to semantic mapping faults demonstrates one significant shortcoming. This flaw is the inability to discriminate between non-permanent and permanent semantic mapping faults, i.e. how long do semantic incompatibilities stay effective and are the semantic incompatibilities permanent or temporary? The current research examines the destructive effect of semantic mapping faults on the Emerging Semantics, i.e. bottom-up construction of ontology and proposes a solution to detect temporal semantic mapping faults. The current research also demonstrates that fault-tolerant semantic mapping will result in Emerging Semantics which are more complete and agreeable than those domain ontologies that are built without consideration for fault-tolerant semantic mapping.
