Alignment Results of Anchor-Flood Algorithm for OAEI-2008

Our proposed algorithm called Anchor-Flood algorithm, starts off with anchors. It gradually explores concepts by collecting neighbors in concept taxonomy, thereby taking advantage of locality of reference in the graph data structure. Then local alignment process runs over the collected small blocks of concepts. The process is repeated for the newly found aligned pairs. In this way, we can significantly reduce the computational time for the alignment as our algorithm concentrates on the aligned pairs and it resolves the scalability problem in ontology alignment over large ontologies. Through several experiments against OAEI- 2008 datasets, we will demonstrate the results and the features of our Anchor-Food algorithm.
