The Fifteenth International Workshop on ONTOLOGY MATCHING (OM-2020)
http://om2020.ontologymatching.org/
November 2nd or 3rd, 2020, International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop Program,
VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasksdealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologiesas input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set ofcorrespondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies.These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontologymerging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressedwith the matched ontologies to interoperate.
The workshop has three goals:
1. To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutionsto assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements.The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrialand final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs.Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and userrepresentatives about existing research efforts that may meet theirrequirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontologymatching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect todata interlinking, knowledge graph and web table matching tasks.
2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matchingand instance matching (link discovery) approaches throughthe OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2020 campaign:http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2020/
3. To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowledge embeddings.
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, open, closed data);
- Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios (e.g., public sector, homeland security);
- Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., in cloud, with mobile apps);
- Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;
- Novel matching methods, including link prediction, ontology-based access;
- Matching and knowledge graphs;
- Matching and deep learning;
- Matching and embeddings;
- Matching and big data;
- Matching and linked data;
- Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them;
- Privacy-aware matching;
- 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;
- Expressive alignments;
- Reasoning with alignments;
- Alignment coherence and debugging;
- Alignment management;
- Matching for traditional applications (e.g., data science);
- Matching for emerging applications (e.g., web tables, knowledge graphs).
