TaxoMap in the OAEI 2009 Alignment Contest

Abstract. TaxoMap is an alignment tool which aims to discover rich correspondences between concepts. It performs an oriented alignment (from a source to a target ontology) and takes into account labels and sub-class descriptions. This new implementation of TaxoMap reduces significantly runtime and enables parameterization by specifying the ontology language and different thresholds used to extract different mapping relations. It improves terminological techniques, with a better use of TreeTagger and introduces new structural techniques which take into account the structure of ontology. Special effort has been made to handle large-scale ontologies by partitioning input ontologies into modules to align. We conclude the paper by pointing out the necessary improvements that need to be made.
