Merging of Ontologies - Conceptual Design Issues

Authors Info & Claims
Published:22 September 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

An approach to merging ontologies is presented that integrates financial knowledge in Decision Support Systems. The process of ontology merging is supported by an editor Protégé, and illustrated by examples extracted from financial information systems. It is shown how the correspondences between concepts, properties, and relations in the various ontologies can be processed. However not all problems of ontology integration may be resolved automatically. Therefore a number of cases of manager involvement in the merging process are considered.
