CALL FOR
PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology
matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,
as well as
a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks.
It takes the
ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment,
that is, a set of
correspondences between the semantically
related entities of those
ontologies. These correspondences can be used
for various tasks, such as
ontology merging and data translation.
Thus, matching ontologies enables the
knowledge and data expressed
in the matched ontologies to
interoperate.
The workshop has two goals:
1. To bring together
leaders from academia, industry and user institutions
to assess how academic
advances are addressing real-world requirements.
The workshop will strive to
improve academic awareness of industrial
and final user needs, and therefore
direct research towards those needs.
Simultaneously, the workshop will serve
to inform industry and user
representatives about existing research efforts
that may meet their
requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the
ontology
matching technology is going to evolve.
2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of
ontology matching
approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation
Initiative)
2010 campaign:
http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2010/.
The particular focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on
real-world
specific matching tasks involving, e.g., biomedical ontologies
and
linked data. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation initiative
itself will provide a solid ground for discussion of how well
the
current approaches are meeting business needs.
TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
Business and use cases for matching (e.g., open linked
data);
Requirements to matching from specific domains;
Application of matching techniques in real-world
scenarios;
Formal foundations and frameworks for ontology
matching;
Ontology matching patterns;
Instance matching;
Large-scale
ontology matching evaluation;
Performance of matching
techniques;
Matcher selection and self-configuration;
Uncertainty in ontology matching;
User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);
Explanations in matching;
Social
and collaborative matching;
Alignment management;
Reasoning with alignments;
Matching for traditional applications (e.g., information integration);
Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., search,
web-services).
SUBMISSIONS
