== Description ==

This '''experimental''' AlignmentGenerator tries to tackle large scale ontology alignment, for which other approaches fail due to high memory and/or performance requirements. The general idea is a divide and conquer approach, continously aligning a number of parts of the ontologies and joining them it to a single, large alignment.

=== Parameters ===

|| '''Parameter name''' || '''ValueType''' || '''Default''' || '''Description''' ||
|| PARAM_TAXONOMY_ONLY || Boolean || {{{FALSE}}} || Defines whether only the taxonomy (classses) should be aligned. This defaults to aligning the classes along with the properties.||
|| PARAM_THRESHOLD || Double || {{{0.0}}} || This standard parameter forces the algorithm to drop all relations with lesser confidence. However, this parameter must be chosen carefully, since the confidences produced by the [wiki:generator_BordaCount BordaCount] algorithm are no explanatory values. It would probably make more sense, to apply a threshold to each SimilarityMeasure, but this requires for a set of threshold parameters and not just a single one.||
