Abstract Integration of knowledge from multiple independent sources presents problems due to their semantic heterogeneity. Careful handling of semantics is important for reliable interaction with autonomous sources. This paper highlights some of the issues involved in automating the process of selective integration and details the techniques to deal with them. The approach taken is semi-automatic in nature focusing on identifying the articulation over two ontologies, i.e., the terms where linkage occurs among the sources. A semantic knowledge articulation tool (SKAT) based on simple lexical and structural matching works well in, |
