<div dir="ltr">--Apologies for cross-posting--<br><br>This is a call for systems for the ISWC 2019 Semantic Web Challenge on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph Matching: <a href="http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/isg/challenges/sem-tab/">http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/isg/challenges/sem-tab/</a><br><br>This challenge aims at benchmarking systems dealing with the tabular data to KG matching problem, so as to facilitate their comparison on the same basis and the reproducibility of the results.<br><br><br>Prizes<br>----------------------<br><br>There will be prizes sponsored by SIRIUS and IBM Research for the best systems and the best student systems in the challenge.<br>The prize winners will be announced during the ISWC conference (on October 30, 2019).<br><br><br>Rounds<br>----------------------<br><br>Round 2 is now open. <br><br>System developers are encouraged to participate at any time, even if they missed one of the evaluation rounds.<br><br><br>Challenge Tasks<br>----------------------<br><br>The challenge includes the following tasks organised into several evaluation rounds:<br><br> - Assigning a semantic type (e.g., a KG class) to a column: CTA task.<br> - Matching a cell to a KG entity: CEA task. <br> - Assigning a KG property to the relationship between two columns: CPA task<br><br>The challenge will be run with the support of the AICrowd platform: <a href="https://www.aicrowd.com/organizers/tabular-data-to-knowledge-graph-matching">https://www.aicrowd.com/organizers/tabular-data-to-knowledge-graph-matching</a><br><br>We encourage participants to submit a system paper. The paper should be no more than 8 pages long and formatted using the LNCS Style. These papers are not peer-reviewed, but they will revised by 1-2 challenge organisers. <br><br><br><br>Support for ontology alignment and link discovery<br>----------------------<br><br>Ontology alignment and link discovery systems are welcome to participate. We plan to create input data in OWL/RDF format to facilitate their participation.<br><br><br><br>Important dates<br>----------------------<br><br> April 15: Round 1 opens.<br> July 10: Round 1 closes.<br> July 17: Round 2 opens.<br> August 31: Round 2 closes.<br> September 2: Round 3 opens (tentative).<br> September 7: System paper submissions (tentative). <br> October 20: Round 3 closes (tentative).<br> October 26: Ontology Matching workshop.<br> October 30: Challenge Presentation and prize announcement.<br><br><br><br>Organisation<br>----------------------<br><br>This track is organised by Kavitha Srinivas (IBM Research), Ernesto Jimenez-Ruiz (Alan Turing Institute; University of Oslo), Oktie Hassanzadeh (IBM Research) and Jiaoyan Chen (University of Oxford).
