Interface Summary

AlignmentAlgorithm	Interface to be implemented by alignment algorithms.

Package de.fzi.kadmos.api.algorithm Description

Provides an API for representing ontology alignment algorithms. This package provides interfaces and exceptions for dealining with ontology alignment algorithms. Classes representing alignment algorithms implement the AlignmentAlgorithm interface. In case an algorithm is capable of dealing with initial alignments given a priori to the invocation of the alignment computation, developers are encouraged to implement the UpdatingAlignmentAlgorithm interface. Ontology alignment algorithms implementing this API use OWL API OWLOntology and KADMOS Alignment objects for representing ontologies and alignments respectively.
