http://www.peertopatent.org/patent/65/prior_art/list An information processing system comprising a translation from a directory or individuals input source to a state database containing resource description triples, a mapping of the triples in the state database from one ontology class to another, and a translation from the triples in the state database to a directory or individuals output sink. en-us System and method for ontology-based translation between directory schemas Title: Proceedings of ICWS 2007<br/>ISBN: <br/>Description: This paper presents a novel technique that significantly improves the quality of semantic Web service matching by (1) automatically generating ontologies based on Web service descriptions and (2) using these ontologies to guide the mapping between Web services. Our approach differs from earlier works on ontology learning by considering the relationship between words rather than treating them as a bag of unrelated words. The experimental results indicate that with our unsupervised approach we can eliminate up to 70% of incorrect matches that are made by dictionary-based approaches. This helps improve the precision of the resulting Web service matches. Thu, 01 May 2008 14:00:03 -0700 http://www.peertopatent.org/prior_art/190/detail
