Abstract
The existence of a standardized ontology alignment format promoted by the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) potentially enables different ontology matchers to be combined and used together. Along these lines, we present a novel architecture for combining ontology matchers based on iterative calls of off-the-shelf matchers that exchange information in the form of reference mappings in this standard alignment format. However, we argue that only a few of the matchers contesting in the past years’ OAEI campaigns actually allow the provision of reference alignments to support the matching process. We bypass this lacking functionality by introducing an alternative approach for aligning results of different ontology matchers using simple URI replacement in the aligned ontologies. We experimentally prove that our iterative approach benefits from this emulation of reference alignments.
