New methodology validates semantic mappings using metaphysical ontology commitments

Researchers have developed a new methodology for validating semantic mappings between disparate data sources. This approach is grounded in the metaphysical commitments of the ontologies themselves, offering a novel framework for ensuring data consistency. The paper demonstrates this method with a case study involving mappings between Islamskiy entsiklopedicheskiy slovar' and Basic Formal Ontology, focusing on cardinality constraints. These principles are operationalized using SPARQL queries to validate mapping pipeline results. AI

IMPACT This research could improve data integration and consistency in AI systems that rely on diverse data sources.

    Constraining ontology mappings using metaphysical choices

    arXiv:2608.08122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we discuss the foundations behind a novel methodology for the validation of semantic mappings between different data sources based upon different foundation ontologies, where the methodology builds a framework based up…
