The Fifth International Workshop on
ONTOLOGY MATCHING
(OM-2010)
http://om2010.ontologymatching.org/
November 7, 2010, ISWC'10 Workshop Program, Shanghai, China
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
Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and
posters/statements of interest addressing different issues of ontology matching
as well as participating in the OAEI 2010 campaign. Technical papers should
be not longer than 12 pages using the LNCS Style:
