BLOOMS

BLOOMS is an ontology alignment system based on the idea of bootstrapping information already present on the LOD cloud. It was developed particularly for Linked Open Data schema alignment.

To obtain more information about BLOOMS, please have a look at our paper Ontology Alignment for Linked Open Data.

BLOOMS is an acronym for Bootstrapping-based Linked Open Data Ontology Matching System.

We will have more content on this page by 5th of July.

Evaluation

We performed a comprehensive evaluation of BLOOMS using third party datasets and other state-of-the-art systems in ontology matching. More specifically, BLOOMS has been evaluated in two different ways.

• We examined the ability of BLOOMS to serve as a general purpose ontology matching system, by comparing it with other systems on the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) benchmarks.
• Secondly, we evaluated BLOOMS for the purpose of LOD schema integration and compared it with other systems for ontology matching on LOD schema alignment.

For both the evaluations BLOOMS has been compared with the state of the art tools in ontology mapping.

Systems for Comparison

• RiMOM: RiMOM was the top system in the oriented track of OAEI in terms of f-measure and availability for download.
• AROMA: AROMA ranked second in the 2008 OAEI Benchmark event.
• OMViaUO <ref name=omviauo-2009>Mascardi, V., Locoro, A., and Rosso, P. 2010. Automatic Ontology Matching via Upper Ontologies: A Systematic Evaluation. IEEE Trans. on Knowl. and Data Eng. 22, 5 (May. 2010), 609-623. DOI= http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TKDE.2009.154</ref>: OMViaUO utilizes upper level ontologies such as SUMO and DOLCE as semantic bridges in the ontology matching process.
• S-Match: S-Match approach utilizes the semantic information implicitly or explicitly codified in the labels of nodes and arc for computing the semantic correspondences.
• Alignment-API: Alignment API provides a framework for expressing and sharing ontology alignments.
