Abstract
Ontology mapping plays an important role in the Semantic Web, which generates correspondences between different ontologies. Usually, precision and recall are used to evaluate the performance of a mapping method. However, they do not take into account of the semantics of the mapping. Thus, semantic precision and recall are proposed to resolve the restricted set-theoretic foundation of precision and recall. But the semantic measures do not consider the incoherence in a mapping which causes some trivialization problems. In this paper, we propose semantic measures for evaluating incoherent ontology mappings. Specifically, a general definition of semantic measures is given based on a set of formal definitions capturing reasoning with incoherent mappings. Then we develop a concrete approach to reasoning with incoherent mappings, which results in some specific semantic measures. Finally, we conduct experiments on the data set of conference track provided by OAEI.
