Disambiguation is the term I use to identify the fundamental semantic process in which a semantic web semiote would build bridging translation rules between his own ontology (the local, target ontology) and ontologies of peer semiotes (the foreign, source ontologies).
In the literature I could find, disambiguation has also been called semiosis, negentropy, ontology harmonization, ontology merging, ontology matching or ontology alignment.
Anyways, right now, my intention is to implement disambiguation using graph matching and graph comparison methods from formal concept analysis and related techniques.

disambiguation or code selection is then applied, using a technique known as Viterbi alignment which chooses the probabilities associated with each code to determine the most likely path through a sequence of ambiguous codes, in rather the same way as the text messaging applications found on many current mobile phones.
To improve on this, the Lancaster team developed further the basic ideas of `idiom tagging', using a template tagger which could be taught more sophisticated contextual rules, in part derived by semi-automatic procedures from a sample set of texts which had previously been manually disambiguated.
Trying to correct the errors in the BNC is not unlike the task of sweeping a beach clear of sand, as imagined by the Walrus and the Carpenter:

Also, the inverse translation of the word sea-cow into Spanish gives several other words, e.g., morsa ‘walrus’, which at least suggests that this word also is homonymous.
As we have seen, the direct application of the techniques discussed in this paper requires certain ingenuity, as well as linguistic operations—such as word sense disambiguation or style recognition—that cannot still be reliably performed in a fully automatic way.
Though the enormous potential of Internet lexical richness will eventually give rise to a new generation of purely automatic linguistic applications [8], we believe that development of semi-automatic tools that leave the difficult decisions on the human expert is, for the moment, a promising direction in supporting the work of practical translators.
