semantic integration:a survey of ontology-based approaches 2004
ontology
: is some formal description of a domain of discourse,intended for sharing among different applications and expressed in a language
that can be used for resoning.
three dismensions of smantic-integration research:
1 mapping discovery
genaeral upper ontology SUMO DOLCE
heusitics-based or machine learing teniques
concept names and natural-language descriptions
class hierarchy
property definitions(domains ranges restrictions)
instances of classes
class descriptions(as in DL-based toos)
2 declarative formal representings of mappings
representing mapppings as instances in an ongology of mapppings
defining bridging axioms in first-order logic to represent transformations
using views to describe mappings from global ontology to local ontologies
3reasoning of mappings goal of mappings
summary:
semantic integration is similary to the issues that database and information-integration researches have been addressing.
现在的趋势就是把mapping做到编辑器里面,同时编辑多个本体,在他们之间创立mapping,支持manual, semi/automatic的方式去管理mapping。纯粹用机器也是不现实的。小量的可以手工,大量的如何自动?
neon
和cbio项目就是这个趋势,我比较相信这两个project的趋势也是以后ontology发展方向的趋势

a survey of schema-based matching approaches
most mappings between:
db schema ,xml schema and catalogs on the web,ontology
schema mappings without explicitly semantics while ontology obeys some formal semantics
so in schema matching,we should guess the meaning encoded in the schemas.
they both provide a vocabulary of terms that describes a domain of interest and the both constrain the meaning of terms used in the vocabulary .
semantic is used for structure parsing,to find relations
alignment: mapping set
future:
1 novel matching approaches which exploit schema-level information
2 instance-based approaches
3 evaluation benchmarks

Introduction to the special issue on semantic integration
anhai doan ,alon halevy
in this paper,author refers to many papers in this field and gives each one sentance introduction.
current challenge:
1scalability with the size of schema
2user interaction: a schema matching system will never be completely autonomous how to small the interation?
3mapping maintenance : schama change frequently
issue fall into four categories
1 shcama matching techniques
2 current technical challenges :scalability maintenance
3 practice consideration :system
4 the role of ontology
2007.1.24 Data Integration:The Teenage Years
Alon Halevy 's paper "Query Heterogeneous Information sources using Source Descriptions1996" was awarded VLDB 10-years Best Paper award.

未提及semantic ontology的问题,主要从数据角度介绍
The information manifold
: provide a uniform query interface to a multitude of data sources.
Propoesed the method LAV. An information source is described as a view expression over the mediated schema.
The mediated schema is defined by Source Descriptions(related to DL ..)
Direction:
1 generating schema mappings
AI-complete problem
obtain information from schema
machine learing: mapping may repeat
instance level
2 adaptive query processing
query optimization
3XML
the nested aspect of xml
semi-structured
4 model management
provide an algebra for manipulating shcemas and mappings
5p2p data management
no global mediated shcam
distributed mechanism for sharing data
6AI
descritpion logic offered more flexible mechanisms for representing a mediated schama and for semantic
query optimization needed in such systems.
AI planning
machine learning
Industry:
EII : mediated schema
efficient query processing and integration for xml was in its infancy
Future:
our goal should be to create tools that facilitate data integration in a variety of scenarios. (
不可能完全自动化)
dataspace:
按照需要一步步整理数据,减少使用代价
uncertainty and lineage
数据的来龙去脉
reusing human attention
人的参与
数据库管理一个问题:流数据 ,即实时数据
