Alignment API and implementation
Here is the new alignment API and implementation homepage. It is
hosted by gforge.inria.fr which helps the developement process (by
integrating theses pages within the SVN repository for instance).
We proposed an alignment format and API which is presented
technically below. A general overview can be found here.
Main resources
- Alignment format
[Download PDF]
- The alignment format in RDF/XML.
- Alignment API
[Download page]
-
An alignment API in Java and implementation on top of the OWL API.
- OWL-API [Download here]
- Starting quickly with OWL-API.
- Using the API with wordnet
[Included with the API zip file]
- Demonstrate how to use wordnet within the API
[VisOn]
- The VisOn ontology visualizer now works with any implementation of
the API. It provides the opportunity to load and display
ontologies, load, run, display and compare alignment algorithms.
