Nominal Schema Reasoning by Grounding

This page will contain information about reasoning in nominal-schema-extended OWL using grounding.

Approach

BLOOMS bootstrapping approach utilizes the Wikipedia category hierarchy for aligning ontologies. BLOOMS constructs a forest (i.e., a set of trees) T_C (known as BLOOMS forest for C) for each matching candidate class name C, which roughly corresponds to a selection of supercategories of the class name. Comparison of the forests T_C and T_B for matching candidate classes C and B then yields a decision whether or not (and with which of the candidate relations) C and B should be aligned.
