The reference reconciliation problem consists of deciding whether different identifiers refer to the same world entity. Some existing reference reconciliation approaches use key constraints to infer reconciliation decisions. In the context of the Linked Open Data, this knowledge is not available. We propose KD2R, a method which allows automatic discovery of key constraints associated to OWL2 classes. These keys are discovered from RDF data which can be incomplete. The proposed algorithm allows this discovery without having to scan all the data. KD2R has been tested on data sets of the international contest OAEI
and obtains promising results.
