Ontology mapping is a complex and necessary task for many Semantic Web (SW) applications. The perspective users are faced with a number of challenges including the difficulties of capturing semantics. In this paper we present a three-dimensional ontology mapping model. This model reflects the engineering steps needed to materialise a versatile mapping system in order to meet the demands on semantic interoperability in the SW environment. We solidify the for-malisation with specialised algorithms and we analyse their effectiveness and performance by way of benchmark tests.
