It takes ontologies <br>as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of <br>correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. <br>These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology <br>merging, data interlinking, query answering or process mapping. <br>Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed <br>with the matched ontologies to interoperate.<br><br>The workshop has three goals: <br>1. <br>To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions <br>to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. <br>The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial <br>and final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs. <br>Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user <br>representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their <br>requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology <br>matching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect to <br>data interlinking, process mapping and web table matching tasks.<br><br>2. <br>To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching <br>and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through <br>the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2019 campaign:<br><a href="http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2019/" target="_blank">http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2019/</a><br><br>3. To examine new uses, similarities and differences from database <br>schema matching, which has received decades of attention <br>but is just beginning to transition to mainstream tools.<br><br><br>This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions <br>specifically devoted to: (i) datasets, benchmarks and replication studies, <br>services, software, methodologies, protocols and measures <br>(not necessarily related to OAEI), and (ii) application of <br>the matching technology in real-life scenarios and assessment <br>of its usefulness to the final users.<br><br><br>TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to: <br> Business and use cases for matching (e.g., big, open, closed data);<br> Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios (e.g., public sector, homeland security);<br> Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., with environmental data);<br> Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;<br> Matching and knowledge graphs;<br> Matching and deep learning;<br> Matching and embeddings;<br> Matching and big data;<br> Matching and linked data;<br> Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them;<br> Privacy-aware matching;<br> Process model matching;<br> Large-scale and efficient matching techniques;<br> Matcher selection, combination and tuning;<br> User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);<br> Explanations in matching;<br> Social and collaborative matching;<br> Uncertainty in matching;<br> Reasoning with alignments;<br> Alignment coherence and debugging;<br> Alignment management;<br> Matching for traditional applications (e.g., data science);<br> Matching for emerging applications (e.g., web tables, knowledge graphs).<br><br><br>SUBMISSIONS<br>Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and <br>posters/statements of interest addressing different issues of ontology matching <br>as well as participating in the OAEI 2019 campaign.
