Ontology matching
is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in
some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes 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 interlinking, query answering or process mapping. Thus, matching
ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate.
The workshop has three goals:
-
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, especially with respect to data interlinking, process
mapping and web table matching tasks.
-
To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching and instance matching
(link discovery) approaches through the
OAEI
(Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative)
2017 campaign.
Besides real-world specific matching tasks, such as desease-phenotype track supported
by the Pistoia Alliance, will introduce web tables instance matching track supported by
IBM Research within a specific matching scenario.
-
To examine new uses, similarities and differences from database schema matching, which has
received decades of attention but is just beginning to transition to mainstream tools.

Audience:
The workshop encourages participation from academia, industry and user institutions with the emphasis on
theoretical and practical aspects of ontology matching. On the one side, we expect representatives from
industry and user organizations 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
requirements. 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.
This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions specifically devoted to:
(i) datasets, benchmarks and replication studies, services, software, methodologies, protocols and measures (not necessarily related to 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., big and open data);
- Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios (e.g., energy, public sector);
- Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., with mobile apps);
- Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;
- Matching and big data;
- Matching and linked data;
- Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them;
- Process model matching;
- Large-scale and efficient matching techniques;
- Matcher selection, combination and tuning;
- User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);
- Explanations in matching;
- Social and collaborative matching;
- Uncertainty in matching;
- Reasoning with alignments;
- Alignment coherence and debugging;
- Alignment management;
- Matching for traditional applications (e.g., information integration);
- Matching for emerging applications (e.g., search, web-services).
