Abstract

In this paper, we present HOME 2.0, an improved version of an ontology mapping tool that can create subject ontologies from subject curricula. To illustrate the design and test of the system we use a computer science curriculum. The semantic data of standard computer science topics can be created using synonyms of topics that are categorized in Wikipedia for mapping improvement of the relevant topics. The tool generates the curriculum data automatically into a course ontology with instances and properties, then finds the correspondences with a standard curriculum ontology using a combination of instance-based and structure-based ontology mapping techniques. The test results with sample data show that the tool works sufficiently and shows improved performance regarding results.
