Abstract

Nowadays, there is a clear trend in using common ontologies for supporting communication interoperability between multiple heterogeneous agents over Internet. An important task that must be solved before implementing ontology-based solutions is the identification of semantic relations to establish alignments between communication primitives. A frequent methodology for aligning different communication primitives consists of processing definitions provided by human developers based on syntactical classification algorithms and semantic enhancement of concepts. We think that the information provided by human developers represents an important source for classification. However, to obtain real semantics, we believe that a better approach would analyze the usage of the primitive in the communication protocol. In this paper we present a pragmatic approach for aligning communication primitives, considering their usage in the protocol. To evaluate our solution we compare the resulting relations and show that our approach provides more accuracy for relating communication primitives.
