The Sixth International Workshop on Ontology Matching, Bonn, Germany
23 October 2011 - 23 October 2011
Germany
The Sixth International Workshop on Ontology Matching will take place on 23 and 24 October 2011 in Bonn, Germany.
Ontology matching 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.
An ontology typically provides a vocabulary that describes a domain of interest and a specification of the meaning of terms used in the vocabulary. Depending on the precision of this specification, the notion of ontology encompasses several data/conceptual models, such as classifications, database schemas or fully axiomatised theories.
This type of matching 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.
The workshop will bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. It will examine ontology matching approaches through the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) 2011 campaign and look at similarities and differences in database schema matching.For further information, please visit: http://www.om2011.ontologymatching.org/(opens in new window)
