Abstract

Due to the complexity of the domain ontology itself and the heterogeneity between domain ontologies, methods for mapping domain ontologies become one of difficulties in ontology mapping. This paper proposes a theoretical model for mapping multiple domain ontologies and aggregation. Guided by this model, a mapping experiment between RxNorm and NDF-RT (the National Drug File-Reference Terminology) is conducted with a new approach for mapping. The classification and aggregation for drug information in RxNorm based on the classification mechanism provided by NDF-RT is realized. This paper provides a new thinking for the semantic interconnection of digital resources.
