Ontrapro

• Semantic integration is needed when different
  information systems have different formal
  descriptions of the same type of data
  
• E.g., Inter-agency intelligence data sharing,
  joint sensor surveillance, multinational command
  and control
  
• Semantic Integration is also a key challenge of
  the Semantic Web

Data Description(Schema or Ontology)
Different descriptions (ontologies/schemas) for
the same data

Ontrapro

• Our approach is to develop and/or integrate a
  suite of best-of-breed aligner algorithms
  
• Ontrapro seeks to automate the process of
  aligning the data descriptions of fielded
  information resources
  
• Ontrapro discovers semantic correspondences
  between the elements of ontologies and schemas

Original ABSURDIST (Aligning Between Systems
Using Relations Derived Inside Systems for
Translation) algorithm generates a list of term
correspondences by iterating through similarity
distances between systems.

Thanks to our collaboration with Indiana
University, ATL now has a graph-based version of
ABSURDIST integrated with Ontrapro.
This version of the algorithm is compatible with
multiple ontology structures.

Experiment Set Platform

• ATL has developed a platform for
• Semi-automating experiment setup
• Automating experiment execution
• Automating data collection
• Used to grade alignments
• Employs a core set of ontologies
• General Experiment
• Ontology Alignment
• Alignment Evaluation
• Ontology Operation
• Operation Evaluation
