<div dir="ltr">------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> FINAL CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS<br> THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS ON AUGUST 10TH, 2020<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> The Fifteenth International Workshop on<br> ONTOLOGY MATCHING<br> (OM-2020)<br> <a href="http://om2020.ontologymatching.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://om2020.ontologymatching.org/</a><br> November 2nd or 3rd, 2020,<br> International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop Program,<br> VIRTUAL CONFERENCE<br><br><br>BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES<br>Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,<br>as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks<br>dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. 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 navigation over knowledge graphs.<br>Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed<br>with the matched ontologies to interoperate.<br><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, knowledge graph 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) 2020 campaign:<br><a href="http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2020/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2020/</a><br><br>3.<br>To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new<br>and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching<br>or knowledge embeddings.<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., in cloud, with mobile apps);<br> Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;<br> Novel matching methods, including link prediction, ontology-based access;<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> Expressive alignments; <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 2020 campaign.
