Target-driven merging of taxonomies with Atom

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose and evaluate a new approach called Atom for mapping-based taxonomy merging.

• Atom is an asymmetric algorithm that merges a source taxonomy into the target taxonomy.

• We propose to restrict the semantic overlap in the merge result by giving preference to the target taxonomy.

• We use semantic match mappings for an improved merge result.
