A fundamental premise of the semantic web is that a level of interoperability is guaranteed among applications running in an open environment. By the use of ontologies applications are able to share information and exchange meaningful data. In this context ontology alignment is paramount to assure communication among applications. In this paper we propose an ontology alignment strategy based in the concepts of partial alignment and inconsistency tolerance.
