Abstract Although ontologies promise an effective technology for information integration, it is often the case that two or more information providers do not share the same ontology. Several (semi)-automated ontology mapping methods have been developed towards solving this problem. This paper presents AUTOMS-F, a framework implemented as a Java API, which aims to facilitate the rapid development of tools for automatic mapping of ontologies by synthesizing several individual ontology mapping methods. Towards this goal, AUTOMS-F provides a highly extensible and customizable application programming interface. AUTOMS is a case study ontology mapping tool that has been implemented using the AUTOMS-F framework, and has been successfully evaluated in the international OAEI 2006 contest.
