Ontology matching is currently a key technology to achieve the semantic alignment of ontological entities used by knowledge-based applications, and therefore to enable their interoperability in distributed environmentssuch asmulti-agentsystems. Mostontologymatchingmechanisms, however, assumematch- ing prior integration and rely on semantics that has been coded a priori in concept hierarchies or external sources. We present a formal model for a semantic alignment procedure that incrementally aligns differing conceptualisations of two or more agents relative to their respective perception of the environment or do- main they are acting in. It hence makes the situation in which the alignment occurs explicit in the model. We resort to Channel Theory to carry out the formalisation. |
