ABSTRACT
This work proposes an algorithm for concept matching, applied in the ontology mapping domain.
The basic idea is to seek the effective semantics embedded in the concept name by analyzing the
contexts in which it appears. Through simple interaction with the known lexicon WordNet, the
right meaning associated with a concept is unequivocally elicited by exploring their local
semantic contexts. This approach reveals interesting results for the word sense disambiguation,
when polysemy problems require a semantic interpretation. The algorithm, though takes a longer
time but yet produce a better matching because the concepts in the ontology trees are populated
with much semantic information at the end of the first and second step of the matching process.
