Results of the HMatch Ontology Matchmaker in OAEI 2006

In this paper, we discuss our experience in testing the HMatch matchmaking system by means of the tracks proposed in the ontology alignment evaluation initiative of 2006. HMatch is a system conceived for the goal of ontology matching in open and distributed systems. It is based on linguistic and structural matching techniques for the evaluation of affinity considering concept names and concept contexts. The paper discusses the results that have been obtained and the possible improvements of the matching techniques in ongoing and future work.
