Jérôme Euzenat, Marc Ehrig, Raúl García Castro, Specification of a benchmarking methodology for alignment techniques, Deliverable 2.2.2, Knowledge web, 48p., December 2004
This document considers potential strategies for evaluating ontology alignment algorithms. It identifies various goals for such an evaluation. In the context of the Knowledge web network of excellence, the most important objective is the improvement of existing methods. We examine general evaluation strategies as well as efforts that have already been undergone in the specific field of ontology alignment. We then put forward some methodological and practical guidelines for running such an evaluation.
