Abstract

An apparatus for processing Mediation Bridge Ontology (MBO) based on ontology alignment patterns. The apparatus includes an MBO strategy design pattern component to have a plurality of strategy design pattern classes, to request, from a Pattern Relationship Model (PRM) component, a PRM for execution of the plurality of strategy design pattern classes, to receive the requested PRM from the PRM component, to execute a strategy design pattern using the received PRM, to acquire alignment information from the executed strategy design pattern, and to store the acquired alignment information, an MBO mediation pattern component to add a new class to the MBO strategy design pattern component through an interface used for communicating with other objects, and the PRM component to have a plurality of PRMs, and, in response to a request from the MBO strategy design pattern component, to provide a PRM to the MBO strategy design pattern component.

Claims

1. An apparatus for processing Mediation Bridge Ontology (MBO) based on ontology alignment patterns, the apparatus comprising:

an MBO strategy design pattern component configured to have a plurality of strategy design pattern classes, to request, from a Pattern Relationship Model (PRM) component, a PRM for execution of the plurality of strategy design pattern classes, to receive the requested PRM from the PRM component, to execute a strategy design pattern using the received PRM, to acquire alignment information from the executed strategy design pattern, and to store the acquired alignment information;

an MBO mediation pattern component configured to add a new class to the MBO strategy design pattern component through an interface used for communicating with other objects; and

the PRM component configured to have a plurality of PRMs, and, in response to a request from the MBO strategy design pattern component, to provide a PRM to the MBO strategy design pattern component.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the MBO mediation pattern component is further configured to transfer messages among the plurality of strategy design pattern classes of the MBO strategy design pattern component.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the PRM component is further configured to add a new PRM so as to apply a new bridge algorithm.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the MBO strategy design pattern component is further configured to comprise one or more strategy design patterns in the following:

ChildPattern, PropertyPattern, StringPattern, SynonymPattern, Pattern, OverlapPattern, and LabelPattern.
