The phrase "alignment and inconsistency" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the relationship between two concepts or elements that may be in agreement (alignment) and those that may not be (inconsistency).
Example: "The report highlighted the alignment and inconsistency between the company's goals and its actual performance metrics."
Alternatives: "congruence and disparity" or "harmony and contradiction".
In networks of ontologies, inconsistency can come from two different sources: local inconsistency in a particular ontology or alignment, and global inconsistency between them.
We have assessed seven popular methods for pairwise structural alignment using geometric measures and inconsistency (as a proxy for homology) and found a wide range of independent variation on these measures: some methods (e.g. FATCAT) produce good structural scores but are highly inconsistent.
The map allowed addressing some issues with marker alignment in the corresponding chromosome and inconsistency in marker order within the physical map.
Measuring the consistency of current methods of structure alignment and determining the causes of inconsistencies can, therefore, provide information on the quality of current methods and suggest possibilities for further improvement.
It is difficult to obtain more specific quantitative measurements for comparison between different groups because of the inconsistency of joint alignment and measurement position.
After the potential score refinement step through PCT, we begin with an empty alignment and greedily add aligned node pairs (u i, v j) to the network alignment, starting from the pairs with the highest node correspondence scores, until there is no other node pair left that can be added without creating inconsistencies in the network alignment.
Confusion and inconsistency exist on many levels.
Leaders need to become comfortable with multiple truths and inconsistency.
