Abstract. This paper presents and discusses the results produced by the Ldoa system for the 2011 Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI). This method is based on the exploitation of an external re-source through Linked Data. These data represent a wealth at the level of the Web. Indeed, it brings more semantics through relations that they maintain. The proposed alignment method Ldoa exploits terminological measures for concepts matching, topological measure for the exploration of structures as well as a semantic approach based on Linked Data. 1 Presentation of the system Ontology alignment is a major process which contributes to the foundation of se-mantic Web, by facilitating the reconciliation of resources described by different ontologies. It can be defined as a production of a set of correspondences between the entities of two given ontologies. This process can be seen as a solution of the data heterogeneousness in the semantic Web, by allowing their interoper-ability. Indeed, a multitude of alignment methods appeared. These methods can
