Abstract
A modular method of composing an ontology alignment provides a set of correspondences between at least two ontologies thereby allowing a composition of an optimal alignment by balancing a recall value and a precision of the alignment. A two-fold strategy is followed. By means of mapping functions a set of alignment correspondences is determined. Depending on a particular mapping function a recall value of the alignment can be improved by an extension of the set of correspondences. By filtering functions particularities of the domain are reflected and incorrect mappings are avoided. Depending on a particular filtering function a precision value of the alignment can be improved by restricting the set of correspondences.
