In recent years many biomedical ontologies have been developed
and many of these ontologies contain overlapping information.
To be able to use multiple ontologies they have to be aligned. In this
paper we propose strategies for aligning ontologies based on life science
literature. We propose a basic algorithm as well as extensions that take
the structure of the ontologies into account. We evaluate the strategies
and compare them with strategies implemented in the alignment system
SAMBO. We also evaluate the combination of the proposed strategies
and the SAMBO strategies.
