Dear Vocbench community,
I'm working with VB 14.0.0 and willing to use the alignment validation tool.
I created an alignement file using ONAGUI which is supposed to output a RDF alignment file in the EDOAL flavour (see attached)
I created a VB projet with the base URI http://opendata.inrae.fr/disciplines-scientifiques/ 
When loading the alignment file in VB, I get the error message "Alignment file loading error: Failed to open and validate the given alignment file. None of the two aligned ontologies matches the current project ontology" mentioned in the FAQ of your documentation page https://vocbench.uniroma2.it/doc/user/alignment_validation.jsf 
I checked the Alignment namespace which is correct. 

Is there an information missing in my file re the aligned resources base URIs?
Or any idea of what is going wrong?

Best,
Sophie

Dear Sophie,

Check out https://moex.gitlabpages.inria.fr/alignapi/format.html. Note that properties onto1, onto2 are missing in your alignment file. Also, it has some additional elements that are not part of the EDOAL specification.

Try the sample alignment file attached.

Kind regards

Roland

Thanks a lot Roland.
VocBench could load the alignments and show them (almost) correctly in the interface. :-)
Almost as I expected to see the terms for the Target entities instead of URIs as the INRAE Thesaurus is hosted in the same VocBench instance and also, its concepts' URIs are dereferenced. Why are the concept URIs shown instead of prefLabels for the target resource? 
When clicking on a URI, an error message appears (see attached) with a truncated URI to the concept :  Could not find RDF format for URL: /thesaurusINRAE/c_6544
Why is the domain name removed here?

Kind regards,
Sophie
