ONTOLOGY
MATCHING
; ; ;
(OM-2008)
;
http://om2008.ontologymatching.org/
October 26 or 27, 2008, ISWC'08 Workshop Program,
Karlsruhe, Germany
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology
matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,
since 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, query answering, data
translation, or for navigation on
the Semantic Web. Thus, matching
ontologies
enables the knowledge and data expressed in
the matched
ontologies to interoperate.
The workshop has two goals:
1. To
bring together academic and industry leaders dealing with ontology
matching
in order to assess how academic advances are addressing
real-world
requirements. The workshop will strive to improve academic
awareness of
industrial needs, and therefore, direct research towards
those needs.
Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry
representatives
about existing research efforts that may meet their
business needs.
2.
To conduct an extensive evaluation of ontology matching
approaches through
the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative)
2008 campaign. The
particular focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on
real-world matching tasks
from specific domains, e.g., medicine.
Therefore, the ontology matching
evaluation initiative itself will provide
a solid ground for discussion of
how well the current approaches are
meeting business needs.
TOPICS
of interest include, but are not limited to:
; Requirements
to ontology matching from specific domains;
Application of
ontology matching techniques in real-world scenarios;
Social and collaborative ontology matching;
; Interactive
ontology matching;
; Alignment
management;
Background knowledge in ontology
matching;
Reasoning for ontology
matching;
Uncertainty in ontology
matching;
Formal foundations and frameworks for ontology
matching;
Performance of ontology-matching
techniques;
Ontology matching evaluation
methodology;
; Ontology matching for information
integration;
; Ontology matching for query
answering;
Ontology matching for dynamic
environments;
; Systems and
infrastructures.
FORMAT AND SUBMISSIONS
The schedule assumes one
day workshop. The workshop will consist of the
following components:
technical presentations, OAEI'08 results
presentations, posters, workshop on
consensus building (of reference
alignments) and wrap-up
discussion.
Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of
(i)
technical papers addressing different issues of ontology matching as
well as
(ii) participating in the OAEI 2008 campaign. Technical papers
should be not
longer than 12 pages using the LNCS Style.
For complete
style details, see Springer's Author Instructions
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html
These should be prepared in PDF format and should
be submitted
(no later than July 25, 2008) through the workshop submission
site at:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=om2008
Technical papers will be refereed by the Program
Committee.
Accepted papers will be published in the workshop
proceedings.
Contributors to OAEI 2008 have to follow the campaign's
