    <pub:abstract><![CDATA[This paper presents our ongoing effort on developing a principled methodology for automatic ontology mapping based on BayesOWL, a probabilistic framework we developed for modeling uncertainty in semantic web. The pro-posed method includes four components: 1) learning prob-abilities (priors about concepts, conditionals between sub-concepts and superconcepts, and raw semantic similarities between concepts in two different ontologies) using Naive Bayes text classification technique, by explicitly associating a concept with a group of sample documents retrieved and selected automatically from World Wide Web (WWW); 2) representing in OWL the learned probability information concerning the entities and relations in given ontologies; 3) using the BayesOWL framework to automatically translate given ontologies into the Bayesian network (BN) structures and to construct the conditional probability tables (CPTs) of a BN from those learned priors or conditionals, with reason-ing services within a single ontology supported by Bayesian inference; and 4) taking a set of learned initial raw similarities as input and finding new mappings between concepts from two different ontologies as an application of our formalized BN mapping theory that is based on evidential reasoning across two BNs. ]]></pub:abstract>
