Multilingual Ontology Matching

Author: Cássia Trojahn dos Santos (cassia.trojahn@inrialpes.fr)

Multi-API

This material contains a minimal API that implements two basic methods for multilingual ontology matching:

• Direct translation-based alignment
• Indirect alignment (based on the proposal of Jung et. al., 2009)

Dependencies

• Alignment API 3.6 (developed by Jérôme Euzenat and hosted at INRIA)
• OWLAPI 2.0
• Google-Translator-API

Material: zip containing sources, libraries, and documentation

Dataset

Based on two tests provided by OAEI benchmark (ontologies 101 and 206), a new Portuguese ontology is created, together its alignments to English and French ontologies.

Material: test case, sh to match the ontologies using the API
