Abstract

The growing importance of multilingual information retrieval and machine translation has made multilingual ontologies an extremely valuable resource. Since the construction of an ontology from scratch is a very expensive and time consuming undertaking, it is attractive to consider ways of automatically aligning monolingual ontologies, which already exist for many of the world's major languages.
