This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions specifically devoted to: (i) repeatable evaluations of the approaches proposed (not necessarily within OAEI) and (ii) application of the matching technology in real-life scenarios and assessment of its usefulness to the final users. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Business and use cases for matching (e.g., open government data); * Requirements to matching from specific domains (e.g., energy); * Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., with mobile apps); * Formal foundations and frameworks for matching; * Matching patterns; * Matching and big data; * Entity matching; * Instance matching and data interlinking; * Large-scale matching; * Performance of matching techniques; * Matcher selection and self-configuration; * 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 emerging applications (e.g., linked data, search).

Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. 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, data translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate.

Organization:

Name:OM-2013: The Eighth International Workshop on Ontology Matching

Acronym:OM-2013

Description:
collocated with the 12th International Semantic Web Conference ISWC-2013 October 21st or 22nd, 2013: Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Sydney, Australia

Stakeholder(s):

  • OM-2013 Audience: Audience: The workshop encourages participation from academia, industry and user institutions with the emphasis on theoretical and practical aspects of ontology matching.

  • Industry: On the one side, we expect representatives from industry and user organizations to present business cases and their requirements for ontology matching.

  • Academia: On the other side, we expect academic participants to present their approaches vis-a-vis those requirements.

  • User Institutions

  • Researchers: The workshop provides an informal setting for researchers and practitioners from different related initiatives to meet and benefit from each other's work and requirements.
