Ontology matching1 is a key interoperability enabler for the semantic web, as well as a useful tactic 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 translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. 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 strives to improve academic awareness of industrial and final user needs, and therefore direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop serves to inform industry and user representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements. The workshop also investigated how the ontology matching technology is going to evolve.
To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2015 campaign2. Besides specific real-world matching tasks such as the one involving large biomedical ontologies, OAEI-2015 introduced linked data benchmarks. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation initiative itself provided a solid ground for discussion of how well the current approaches are meeting business needs.
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.
The program committee selected 3 long and 5 short submissions for oral presentation and 9 submissions for poster presentation. 22 matching systems participated in this year’s OAEI campaign.
