The Fifth International Workshop on Ontology Matching, Shanghai, China
7 November 2010 - 7 November 2010
China
The Fifth International Workshop on Ontology Matching will take place on 7 November 2010 at the Shanghai International Convention Centre in Shanghai, China.
The event will bring together leaders from academia, industry and institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. The purpose of the workshop is to improve academic awareness of industrial and final user needs, and to inform industry and user representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements.
The workshop will also conduct an extensive evaluation of ontology matching approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2010 campaign. The particular focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on real-world specific matching tasks involving, for example, biomedical ontologies and linked data.
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the semantic web, as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks. 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 and data translation. Matching ontologies therefore enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate.For further information, please visit:
