WHAT IS OLA
-----------

OLA is a method for computing alignments between two OWL-Lite ontologies
SBOA means Structure-Based Ontology Alignment

Its principle are exposed in:
Jerome Euzenat, Petko Valtchev
Similarity-based ontology alignment in OWL-Lite
In: Ramon Lopez de Mantaras, Lorenza Saitta (eds), Proc. 16th european conference on artificial intelligence (ECAI), Valencia (ES), pp333-337, 2004

Version 2.0 is a complete reimplementation of OLA principles based on matrix computation by Jean-Francois Djoufak-Kenge
Version 2.0.1 is just version 2.0 updated to the Alignment API 3.4 and cleaning up some software engineering problems


PARAMETERS
----------

It is sensible to the following parameters:

threshold:     the threshold for selecting a pair (between 0 and 1: default = 0)

epsillon:      the precision threshold (typically less than 0.1: default = 0.01)

functionName:  function with which to compare strings (default: StringDistance)

The following parameters are weights for the distance equations:
Class_Lexical
Class_Object
Class_SuperClass
Class_ObjectProperty
Class_DatatypeProperty
			
Object_Lexical
Object_Class
Object_ObjectPropertyInstance
Object_DatatypePropertyInstance
