Abstract
Thesaurus is used in many Information Retrieval (IR) applications such as data integration, data warehousing, semantic query processing and classifiers. It was also utilized to solve the problem of schema matching. Considering the fact of existence of many thesauri for a certain area of knowledge, the quality of schema matching results when using different thesauri in the same field is not predictable. In this paper, we propose a methodology to study the performance of the thesaurus in solving schema matching. The paper also presents results of experiments using different thesauri. Precision, recall, F-measure, and similarity average were calculated to show that the quality of matching changed according to the used thesaurus.
