additional alignment algorithms can be exploited for similarity calculations
[Gradwohl, 2009]; we use the API ontology alignment [Euzénat, 2004] as a com-
mon interface. More details about AlViz are described in the next section.
4.4 AlViz: Multiple View Visualization for Semi-
Automatic Alignment of Ontologies
AlViz supports the visual alignment of two ontologies by making the type of simi-
larity between entities explicit. e tool [Banovic, 2009] consists of two types of
views coupled by a linking and brushing technique. AlViz applies J-Trees as one of
