<h1 class="titre">Alignment API: Libraries shipped with the package (release 4.9)</h1>
<p>The Alignment API uses a number of external libraries.
These libraries are shipped (in the lib directory) with the Alignment API.
Each subdirectory of the lib directory contains <a href="maven.html#pom">Project Object Models (POM)</a> which provide information about the version, license and dependencies for these libraries.

<p>
We provide here the list of these libraries together with the reason why they may be necessary within the API and some other information.

</p>
<p>
Some of these libraries are necessary for recompiling the Alignment API.
Some of them are only needed at runtime when invoking the feature that uses them.
You may use this information for restricting the libraries to only the one you need.

<h2>Required for parsing ontologies (ontowrap)</h2>
<p>
Ontowrap requires one of these libraries to be functional.
It will only compile if all of them are available.
However, it is possible to delete the subdirectories <tt>src/fr/inrialpes/exmo/ontowrap/xxxx</tt> and this will compile again.
