Abstract. The AgreementMaker system is unique in that it features a powerful user interface, a flexible and extensible architecture, an integrated evaluation en-gine that relies on inherent quality measures, and semi-automatic and automatic methods. This paper describes the participation of AgreementMaker in the 2011 OAEI competition in four tracks: benchmarks, anatomy, conference, and instance matching. After its successful participation in 2009 and 2010, the goal in this year’s participation is to explore previously unused features of the ontologies in order to improve the matching results. Furthermore, the system should be able to automatically adapt to the matching task, choosing the best configuration for the given pair of ontologies. We believe that this year we have made considerable progress in both of these areas. 1 Presentation of the system We have been developing the AgreementMaker system since 2001, with a focus on real-world applications [5,9] and in particular on geospatial applications [4,6,8,10,11,12,13,15]. However, the current version of AgreementMaker, whose development started in 2008, represents a whole new effort. The code base has more than doubled since then, with the AgreementMaker framework being expanded to accomodate many types of ontol-ogy matching techniques.
