LogMap: An Ontology Alignment and Alignment Repair System

LogMap: An Ontology Alignment and Alignment Repair System

LogMap is a highly scalable ontology matching system with ‘built-in’ reasoning and inconsistency repair capabilities. LogMap extract mappings between classes, properties and instances.

To the best of our knowledge, LogMap is one of the few matching systems that:

1. can efficiently match semantically rich ontologies containing tens (and even hundreds) of thousands of classes,

2. incorporates sophisticated reasoning and repair techniques to minimise the number of logical inconsistencies, and

3. provides support for user intervention during the matching process (see Web interface).

Please refer to the OAIE campaign for official results about LogMap.

Downloading and Development

LogMap standalone distributions and OAEI packages can be downloaded from SourceForge.

Development requires a clone of this git repository. You can use the pre-configured Eclipse (Maven) project (dependencies are automatically downloaded). To generate a JAR file for LogMap from the command line using Maven, run: mvn package

Using LogMap

LogMap accepts the same ontology formats as the OWL API: e.g., RDF/XML, OWL/XML, OWL Functional, OBO, KRSS, and Turtle (n3).

As an Ontology Matching System

LogMap can be used from the command line with the standalone distribution or the OAEI packages, or directly from its Web interface

LogMap can also be easily integrated in other Java applications.

As a Mapping Debugging System

LogMap can also be used as a mapping debugging system from the command line or integrated in a Java application.
