Grid Computing for Ontology Matching

This chapter is examines the challenge of ontology matching in a grid environment in a scalable and high efficient way. For this, ontology matching approaches as well as grid computing are considered with the aim to present an approach for ontology matching on various resources. Hence, related approaches and tools are presented and discussed in order to provide an adequate background. Through this, a distributed ontology matching as it is required for ontology matching in a distributed environment such as the grid becomes usable. However, a novel ontology matching approach which meets the requirements of a grid architecture is considered in this chapter.
