Abstract

Currently, many ontologies are available even through they are created by different organizations. Although these ontologies are developed for various application purpores and areas, they often contain overlapping information. In order to achieve interoperability between ontologies, we need to find a way to integrate various ontologies. For example, ontology engineers would like to create new ontologies based on existing ontologies, adapt or extend existing ontologies for the same or different domains. In this context, it is important to find the corresponding entities in different ontologies. The main ideas we contribute to the research field are introducing the expanding ontology tree to determine the semantic similarity of ontologies.
