More precisely, NeOn Alignment Plugin can get from Ontology Navigator in NeonToolkit the URIs of openned ontologies. Additionally, the NeOn Alignment Plugin is able to add an alignment as an OWL ontology to Ontology Navigator. This may provide a way to exploit and share alignments, which are computed by the NeOn Alignment Plugin, among different plugins in the NeonToolkit environment. + +<p>NeOn Alignment Plugin can work in two modes : offline and online. Roughly speaking, the offline mode allows users to reach main functionalities of the Alignment Server without connection to the server while the online mode offers additionally mecanisms to store and reuse alignments.<br> +<h4>Offline mode</h4> +In the offline mode which is activated by clicking on button "Offline", the NeOn Alignment Plugin can access to NeOnToolkit ontologies (i.e. openned ontologies in Ontology Navigator) and match any pair of them. Resulting alignments can be stored as local system files and imported to Ontology Navigator as OWL ontologies. + +<h4>Online mode</h4> +In the online mode which is activated by clicking on button "Online", the NeOn Alignment Plugin provides all functions from the Alignment Server. Resulting alignments are stored on the server and exported to Ontology Navigator as OWL ontologies. This allows NeOnTookit users, with help of the Ontology Editor, to use, share or edit alignments. <br><br> + +<h4>Usage of the NeOn Alignment Plugin</h4> +In the sequel, we will show how to connect to the INRIA's Alignment Server from the plugin and to work with it.<br> +<h5>Connection</h5> +To connect to the INRIA's Alignment Server from the NeOn Alignment Plugin, you have to type "aserv.inrialpes.fr" for hostname and "80" for port.<br> +<h5>Preparing parameters</h5> +After connecting to the server, a list of available alignment methods is visible.<br><br> +Button "Refresh" allows users to fetch all openned ontologies in all projects in the NeOnToolkit environment.<br><br> +Found ontologies appear in the two lists of ontologies.<br><br> +<center><IMG ALIGN = MIDDLE SRC="neontk2alignsvr.png"></center><br><br> +<h5>Matching two ontologies</h5> +Choose two ontologies and a matching method from the lists and match them by clicking on "Match". +The computed alignment is automatically added to the Eclipse project "AlignmentProject" in Ontology Navigator. +Users can navigate, share and edit alignments as ontologies from Ontology Navigator.<br><br> + +<center><IMG ALIGN = MIDDLE SRC="alignsvr2neontk.png"></center><br><br> + +<h2 class="titre">How to use the NeOn Alignment Plugin with Ontomap Plugin</h2> +<h3>Visualize alignments with Ontomap Plugin </h3> +<h3>Edit alignments with Ontomap Plugin </h3> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/html/neontk/neontk-launch.png b/html/neontk/neontk-launch.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6fac6582b461a16684ebba2f86713d6415c0b3dd Binary files /dev/null and b/html/neontk/neontk-launch.png differ diff --git a/html/neontk/neontk2alignsvr.png b/html/neontk/neontk2alignsvr.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6eac06773db97833432f3384a4ccfceed88b0e9f Binary files /dev/null and b/html/neontk/neontk2alignsvr.png differ
