[DL] 2nd Call for Systems - ISWC 2019 Challenge on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph Matching

[Ernesto Jimenez-Ruiz]

--Apologies for cross-posting--

This is the 2ns call for systems for the ISWC 2019 Semantic Web Challenge
on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph Matching:
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/isg/challenges/sem-tab/

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.


NEWS
----------------------

There will be prizes sponsored by SIRIUS and IBM Research for the best
systems and the best student systems in the challenge.
The prize winners will be announced during the ISWC conference (on October
30, 2019).

Round 1 is about to close and Round 2 will open soon afterwards.

System developers are encouraged to participate at any time, even if they
missed one of the evaluation rounds.


Challenge Tasks
----------------------

The challenge includes the following tasks organised into several
evaluation rounds:

    - Assigning a semantic type (e.g., a KG class) to a column: CTA task.
    - Matching a cell to a KG entity: CEA task.
    - Assigning a KG property to the relationship between two columns: CPA
task

The challenge will be run with the support of the AICrowd platform:
https://www.aicrowd.com/organizers/tabular-data-to-knowledge-graph-matching

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not peer-reviewed, but they will revised by 1-2 challenge organisers.



Support for ontology alignment and link discovery
----------------------

Ontology alignment and link discovery systems are welcome to participate.
We plan to create input data in OWL/RDF format to facilitate their
participation.

    April 15: Round 1 opens.
    June 15: Round 1 closes.
    June 16: Round 2 opens.
