Abstract
Measuring ontology matching is a critical issue in knowledge engineering and supports knowledge sharing and knowledge evolution. Recently, linguistic scientists have defined semantic relatedness as being more significant than semantic similarities in measuring ontology matching. Semantic relatedness is measured using synonyms and hypernym–hyponym relationships. In this paper, a systematic approach for measuring ontology semantic relatedness is proposed. The proposed approach is developed with a clear and fully described methodology, with illustrative examples used to demonstrate the proposed approach. The relatedness between ontologies has been measured based on class level by using lexical features, defining semantic similarity of concepts based on hypernym–hyponym relationships. For evaluating our proposed approach against similar works, benchmarks are generated using five properties: related meaning features, lexical features, providing technical descriptions, proving applicability, and accuracy. Technical implementation is carried out in order to demonstrate the applicability of our approach. The results demonstrate an achieved accuracy of 99%. The contributions are further highlighted by benchmarking against recent related works.
