It takes ontologies <br>as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of <br>correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. <br>These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology <br>merging, data interlinking, query answering or process mapping. <br>Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed <br>with the matched ontologies to interoperate.<br><br><br>The workshop has three goals: <br>1. <br>To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions <br>to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. <br>The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial <br>and final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs. <br>Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user <br>representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their <br>requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology <br>matching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect to <br>data interlinking, process mapping and web table matching tasks.<br><br>2. <br>To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching <br>and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through <br>the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2019 campaign:<br><a href="http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2019/" target="_blank">http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2019/</a><br><br>3.
