TaxoMap is an alignment tool which aim is to discover rich correspondencesbetween concepts. It performs an oriented alignment (from a sourceto a target ontology) and takes into account labels and sub-class descriptions.Our participation in last year edition of the competition have put the emphasis oncertain limits. TaxoMap 2 is a new implementation of TaxoMap that reduces significantlyruntime and enables parameterization by specifying the ontology languageand different thresholds used to extract different mapping relations. Thenew implementation stresses on terminological techniques, it takes into accountsynonymy, and multi-label description of concepts. Special effort was made tohandle large-scale ontologies by partitioning input ontologies into modules toalign. We conclude the paper by pointing out the necessary improvements thatneed to be made.
