Abstract
An approach is presented for determining a value of a bridge of a first ontology schema (S1) with a second ontology schema (S2). A bridge of S1 with S2 is generated. A sub-schema S is extracted from the bridge of S1 with S2. A schema S' is created from S by removing common concepts and relationships to the common concepts, and for each common concept to which first and second concepts have immediate links in S, by creating a new immediate link in S′ between the first and second concepts. An intrinsic value of S′ and a strength of a bridge of S1 with S are determined. Based on the intrinsic value of S′ and the strength of the bridge of S1 with S, the value of the bridge of S1 with S2 is determined.
