Ontology algorithm using singular value decomposition and applied in multidisciplinary

Abstract

As a popular data management and computation tool, ontology is widely used in material science, biological genetics, chemistry, biology and pharmaceuticals. It can be regarded as a dictionary or a database, and the key of various ontology applications is similarity measuring between concepts in ontology. In this paper, we propose a new ontology learning algorithm for ontology similarity measuring and ontology mapping by means of singular value decomposition method and deterministic sampling iteration. Then, the new ontology learning is applied in plant science, gene biology, bionics and physics ontologies. The data results show the high efficiency of our singular value decomposition based ontology learning algorithm for ontology similarity measuring and ontology mapping.
