Abstract. Ontologies comprise an explicit specification of a domain conceptualisation. However, their design, structure and elements may significantly vary, even for a specific concept, given their subjective nature, which highly depends on their purpose and the view from which they are developed. Especially in cases that the ontologies serve as a means for linking different data sources and enabling meaningful information exchange, a variety of mismatches needs to be handled. This paper presents a web-based ontology alignment tool which supports the whole alignment process with particular focus in complex mismatches. This tool facilitates ontologies alignment by suggesting possible correspondences which are automatically recalculated as the alignment process progresses.
