Ontologies are formal descriptions of a domain. With the growth of the semantic web, an increasing number of related ontologies with overlapping domain coverage are available. Their integration requires ontology alignment, a determination of which concepts in a source ontology are like concepts in a target ontology. This paper presents a novel approach to this problem by applying analogical reasoning, an area of cognitive science that has seen much recent work, to the ontology alignment
