Abstract

Ontology matching has become a key issue to solve problems of semantic heterogeneity. Several researchers propose diverse techniques that can be used in distinct scenarios. Ontology meta-matching approaches are a specialization of ontology matching and have achieved good results in pairs of ontologies with different types of heterogeneities. However, developing a new ontology meta-matcher can be a costly process and a lot of experiments are often carried out to analyze the behavior of the matcher. This article presents a modularized framework that covers the main stages of the ontology meta-matching evaluation process. This framework aims to aid researchers to develop and analyze algorithms for ontology meta-matching, mainly metaheuristic-based supervised and unsupervised approaches. As the main contribution of the research, the framework proposed will facilitate the evaluation of ontology meta-matching approaches and, as the secondary contribution, a data provenance model that captures the main information generated and consumed throughout experiments is presented in the framework.
