Abstract

AgreementMaker is one of the leading ontology matching systems, thanks to its combination of a flexible and extensible framework with a comprehensive user interface. In many domains, such as the biomedical, ontologies are becoming increasingly large thus presenting new challenges. We have developed a new core framework, AgreementMakerLight, focused on computational efficiency and designed to handle very large ontologies, while preserving most of the flexibility and extensibility of the original AgreementMaker framework. We evaluated the efficiency of AgreementMakerLight in two OAEI tracks: Anatomy and Large Biomedical Ontologies, obtaining excellent run time results. In addition, for the Anatomy track, AgreementMakerLight is now the best system as measured in terms of F-measure. Also in terms of F-measure, AgreementMakerLight is competitive with the best OAEI performers in two of the three tasks of the Large Biomedical Ontologies track that match whole ontologies.
