Abstract

In our latest work, the problem of semantic interoperability for interconnected and semantically coordinated smart/control entities in a Semantic Web of Things has been explicated and a framework for Semantic Smart Gateways (SSGF) has been proposed. This paper aims to report on a proof-of-concept implementation of the core component of this framework which is the automatic alignment of smart/control entities’ semantic descriptions. More specific, the paper reports on a recent approach towards implementing a configurable, multilingual and synthesis-based ontology alignment tool that has been evaluated by the SEALS and OAEI initiatives.

This work was carried out during the tenure of an ERCIM "Alain Bensoussan" Fellowship Programme. This Programme is supported by the Marie Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND) of the European Commission.
