Class INRIAFormatRenderer

java.lang.Object
  de.fzi.kadmos.renderer.impl.INRIAFormatRenderer

All Implemented Interfaces:

AlignmentRenderer

public final class INRIAFormatRenderer
extends Object
implements AlignmentRenderer

Renderer that writes the INRIA alignment format in an XML representation.

Participation in the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) requires alignments to be submitted in this format.

The renderer writes some constant values according to the nature of this API. In particular, the alignment type is "11", the ontology formalism is "OWL2.0" for both ontologies. Furthermore, the correspondence type is always "=", i.e. equality.

The renderer uses the JDOM library for writing XML.
