Abstract: 

Today many datasets related to the same domain of interest are available on the web of Linked Data. These datasets can have variable quality, which makes them difficult to reuse. In this article, we present a novel approach for identifying knowledge shared by different datasets taking into account their quality. This approach is based on metrics used to evaluate the trust score of common elements extracted from various datasets. In this article we propose several metrics, one of them is based on the integral of Choquet. These metrics have been evaluated on a real case study from the agriculture domain.
