ontology

A collection of statements written in a language such as RDF that define the relations between concepts and specify logical rules for reasoning about them. (Termium)

An ontology is a set of structural rules designed to represent concepts in order to perform logic-based operations to retrieve or infer new information. (Bento, Zouaq & Gagnon, 2020)

As indicated earlier the usual way to align ontologies generally consists in standard string similarity measurement techniques and the analysis of the ontologies' structure to identify equivalent classes and properties. (Bento, Zouaq & Gagnon, 2020)
As the number of ontologies grows for a given domain and as overlap between ontologies grows proportionally it is becoming more and more crucial to develop accurate and reliable techniques to perform this task automatically. (Bento, Zouaq & Gagnon, 2020)
First the structure of each ontology is extracted using a dedicated tool (we used Apache Jena for this application). (Bento, Zouaq & Gagnon, 2020)
