objectives



Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, since it takes the ontologies as input and determines as output correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, query answering, data translation, or for navigation on the Semantic Web. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate.

The workshop has two goals:

    To bring together academic and industry leaders to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial needs, and therefore direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their business needs. Moreover, it is central to the aims of the workshop to evaluate how technologies for ontology matching are going to evolve, which research topics are in the academic agenda and how these can fit emerging business issues.

    To conduct an extensive, rigorous and transparent evaluation of ontology matching approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2007 campaign. The particular focus of this year’s OAEI campaign is on real-world matching tasks from specific domains, such as cultural heritage, medicine and food. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation initiative itself will provide a solid ground for discussion of how well the current approaches are meeting business needs.

Call for papers



Audience:

The workshop encourages participation from both academia and industry with its emphasis on theoretical and practical aspects of ontology matching. On the one side, we expect representatives from industry to present business cases and their requirements for ontology matching. On the other side, we expect academic participants to present their approaches vis-a-vis those industrial requirements.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Requirements to ontology matching from specific domains;
  • Application of ontology matching techniques in real-world scenarios;
  • Social and collaborative ontology matching;
  • Interaction design for ontology matching;
  • Interactive ontology matching;
  • Background knowledge in ontology matching;
  • Uncertainty in ontology matching;
  • Formal foundations and frameworks for ontology matching;
  • Performance of ontology matching techniques;
  • Ontology matching evaluation methodology;
  • Ontology matching for information integration;
  • Ontology matching for query answering;
  • Ontology matching for dynamic environments;
  • Systems and infrastructures.
