Abstract

As the Web is multilingual and more and more web-based applications use ontologies in the latest years, mapping multilingual ontologies have become more and more important for the interoperability of systems in specific domains, such as e-commerce, life science, social web, etc. There is much research in the ontology-mapping field, but only a few research papers are related to the specifics of ontology mapping in multilingual environment. The main goal of this paper is to analyze resent results and show specifics of ontology mapping in multilingual environment. We classify multilingual ontology mapping approaches and propose some guidelines for ontology development and mapping to make easier information integration in multilingual environment.
