Abstract
Ontology integration aims at the interoperation of heterogeneous ontologies,and is currently under hot research.To get two or more ontologies integrated,the first step is discovering and constructing ontology mappings,which settle relationships between/among different entities from different ontologies.Secondly,execute mappings according to the application.And finally ontology integration gets two of its goals,ontology alignment or ontology merging.This paper explains the terms and concepts in the above procedure,shows the regular ontology integration framework.It then analyzes several representative ontology integration tools.Based on that,it discusses the presently open problems and future research directions in this field.
