System and method for matching schemas to ontologies
First Claim
1. A system for matching elements of a schema to entity groups comprised of classes or properties of an ontology, the system comprising:
- a first storage configured to store an element of the schema that is identifiable with a child node of a parent node of a tree;
a second storage configured to store an entity group of the ontology that comprises a subclass of a class of a further entity group or a property of the class, the further entity group matching to a parent element identifiable with the parent node;
an access unit configured to access the element of the schema and the entity group of the ontology; and
a match unit configured to match the element of the schema to the entity group of the ontology in case that the element corresponds to the entity group according to a correspondence test.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include a system for matching elements of a schema to entity groups of an ontology. The system includes a first storage means configured to store an element of the schema that is identifiable with a child node of a parent node of a tree and a second storage means configured to store an entity group of the ontology. The entity group includes a subclass of a class of a further entity group or a property of the class, the further entity group matching to a parent element identifiable with the parent node. The system further includes an access unit configured to access the element of the schema and the entity group of the ontology and a match unit. The match unit is configured to match the element of the schema to the entity group of the ontology.

13. A computer-implemented method for matching elements of a schema to entity groups comprised of classes or properties of an ontology, the method comprising:
-
accessing an element of the schema stored in a first storage and an entity group of the ontology stored in a second storage;
andmatching the element to the entity group in case that the element corresponds to the entity group according to a correspondence test, wherein the element is identifiable with a child node of a parent node of a tree and the entity group comprises a subclass of a class of a further entity group or a property of the class, the further entity group matching to a parent element identifiable with the parent node. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
