Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold. It describes a new similarity measure which is applied in a new ontology matching algorithm, OntoPhil that exploits both the lexical and structural information of the input ontologies. The different steps of the algorithm as well as some clarifying examples are also provided. In addition, OntoPhil is also compared and evaluated using the datasets from well-known Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative.
