L2R: A Logical Method for Reference Reconciliation

The reference reconciliation problem consists in deciding whether different identifiers refer to the same data, i. e. , correspond to the same world entity. The L2R system exploits the semantics of a rich data model, which extends RDFS by a fragment of OWL-DL and SWRL rules. In L2R, the semantics of the schema is translated into a set of logical rules of reconciliation, which are then used to infer correct decisions both of reconciliation and no reconciliation. In contrast with other approaches, the L2R method has a precision of 100% by construction. First experiments show promising results for recall, and most importantly significant increases when rules are added.
