Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Task

An Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Task is a knowledge base matching task between a taxonomy nodes from different taxonomy databases.

• AKA: Taxonomy Record Linkage/Alignment.
• Context:
  • Input: two or more Taxonomy Databases.
  • output: a Taxonomy Mapping Structure (between taxonomy node records, possibly represented in an taxonomy mapping structure).
  • It can be solved by a Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking System (that implements a Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Algorithm)
  • It can be solved by a Taxonomy Mapping System (that implements a taxonomy mapping algorithm).
  • It can range from being a Heuristic Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Task to being a Supervised Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Task.
  • It can range from being a Supervised Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Task to being a Manual Taxonomy to Taxonomy Interlinking Task.
  • It can range from being a One-Directional Taxonomy Mapping Task to being a Two-Directional Taxonomy Mapping Task.
  • It can range from being a Heuristic Taxonomy Mapping Task to being a Data-Driven Taxonomy Mapping Task (such as supervised taxonomy mapping).
  • It can be supported by an Taxonomy-based Concept Mention Grounding Task.
  • It can be supported by an Taxonomy-based Relation Mention Grounding Task.
  • It can support a Taxonomy Merging Task (which can be supported by a Taxonomy Node-based Classification Task).
• Example(s):
  • a CoA Taxonomy Matching Task/CoA Interlinking Task.
  • a Product Taxonomy Matching Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Taxonomy Node-based Classification Task.
  • a Document to Ontology Interlinking Task, such as document to Wikipedia interlinking.
  • an Terminology Matching Task.
  • an Ontology-based Information Extraction Task.
  • an Ontology Matching Task.
• See: Record Linkage Task, Integrating Data, Semantic Annotation Task.
