Ontology Alignment

Ontology alignment is the process of matching different systems or frameworks that organize information about a specific domain. Imagine two libraries, each with its own way of categorizing books. Ontology alignment helps them understand that a "fiction novel" in one library is similar to a "storybook" in another. This process ensures that data and knowledge can be shared and understood across diverse systems, facilitating better communication and collaboration. In general knowledge, it enhances compatibility and interoperability between different sources of information, making it easier to integrate and use knowledge from various fields.
