Api For Alignment
communicate the alignment server through its REST web service API, manipulate alignments with the Alignment API in Java, answer SPARQL queries based on the resulting alignment, perform OWL reasoning on aligned ontologies and compose alignments.
In this paper, we propose a REST API that enables the participation of downstream alignment services in the process orchestrated by MAPLE, helping them self-adapt in order to handle heterogeneous alignment tasks and scenarios.
The ability to fully utilize API's precision measurement capabilities, combined with experienced measurement technicians, for applications such as the turbine alignment process, differentiates API for complex alignments tasks. Read Our API Inspection and Alignment Case Studies.
This is the very basic for starting with the Alignment API and checking that everything should be fine. Another quick start guide exists for the Alignment server. We also have an on-line tutorial on using the Alignment API and more systematic documentation.
Here is an illustration of the Alignment API tutorial using the alignment server. This tutorial has been designed for the Alignment API version 3.0 and updated for the Alignment API 4.0. Actual screendumps may vary since the interface has evolved and the functionalities have been extended.
The Alignment API serves as a comprehensive platform for the seamless computation of structure alignments. Users have the flexibility to reference atomic structure coordinates in various ways when utilizing the API.
Here is a small tutorial for the alignment API. Most of the tutorial is based on command-lines invocations. Of course, it is not the natural way to use this API it is made for being embedded in some application programme and we are working towards implementing an alignment server that can help programmes to use the API remotely. The complete tutorial is also available as a self-contained
The Alignment API itself is a Java description of tools for accessing the common format. It defines five main interfaces OntologyNetworks, Alignment, Cell, Relation and Evaluator and proposes the following services
The Alignment API is both an API for representing alignments and for developing, integrating and com- posing matchers. It comes with a Java implementation which has been used in many developments and pro- vides examples and basic tools for manipulating align- ments.
The Alignment API is an API and implementation for expressing and sharing ontology alignments. Using ontologies is the priviledged way to achieve interoperability among heterogeneous systems within the Semantic web.
