Hi Dileepa
Basic co-reference rule to be used is :
> {?p a owl:IFP. ?a ?p ?x. ?b ?p ?x) => {?a :coref ?b}
> {?p a owl:FP . ?a ?p ?x. ?a ?p ?y.) => { ?x :coref ?y}
>
> IFP : inverse-functional property
> FP : functional property
> coref : co-referent
>
:coref is owl:sameAs.
You might be interested in checking out
http://clerezza.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/clerezza/rdf/utils/Smusher.htmlwhich
does smashing based on IFP, it should be quite straight forward to
support FP as well. Also a map could be used to reduce the time complexity.
For guessing identity when there is no IFP or FP you might use a tool like
LIMES or SILK.
