Targeted ontology mapping

We examine the ontology mapping problem with three different groups of readers in mind: system designers, who need to know what is and isn't possible given the current state of alignment algorithms and what pitfalls to watch out for when someone suggests the use of ontologies in a project; system developers, who require knowledge of specific algorithms and useful software libraries; and semantic interoperability researchers who may be interested in the potential efficacy of using a genetic algorithm to choose which similarity metrics should be employed to map two ontologies, based on a small, carefully-chosen subset of each ontology.
