Multiobjective Sensor Ontology Matching Technique with User Preference Metrics
2021
Due to the problem of data heterogeneity in the semantic sensor networks, the communications among different sensor network applications are seriously hampered. Although sensor ontology is regarded as the state-of-the-art knowledge model for exchanging sensor information, there also exists the heterogeneity problem between different sensor ontologies. Ontology matching is an effective method to deal with the sensor ontology heterogeneity problem, whose kernel technique is the similarity measure. How to integrate different similarity measures to determine the alignment of high quality for the users with different preferences is a challenging problem. To face this challenge, in our work, a Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) is used in determining different nondominated solutions. In particular, the evaluating metric on sensor ontology alignment’s quality is proposed, which takes into consideration user’s preferences and do not need to use the Reference Alignment (RA) beforehand; an optimization model is constructed to define the sensor ontology matching problem formally, and a selection operator is presented, which can make MOEA uniformly improve the solution’s objectives. In the experiment, the benchmark from the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) and the real ontologies of the sensor domain is used to test the performance of our approach, and the experimental results show the validity of our approach.
