The Fifth International Workshop on
<BR>
ONTOLOGY
MATCHING<BR>
(OM-2010)<BR>
</FONT><A href="http://om2010.ontologymatching.org/"><FONT
face=Verdana>http://om2010.ontologymatching.org/</FONT></A><BR><FONT
face=Verdana> November 7, 2010, ISWC'10 Workshop
Program, Shanghai, China </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><BR><FONT face=Verdana>BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES<BR>Ontology
matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, <BR>as well as
a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks. <BR>It takes the
ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, <BR>that is, a set of
correspondences between the semantically <BR>related entities of those
ontologies. These correspondences can be used <BR>for various tasks, such as
ontology merging and data translation. <BR>Thus, matching ontologies enables the
knowledge and data expressed <BR>in the matched ontologies to
interoperate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>The workshop has two goals: <BR>1. 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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of
ontology matching <BR>approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation
Initiative) <BR>2010 campaign: </FONT><A
href="http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2010/"><FONT
face=Verdana>http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2010/</FONT></A><FONT
face=Verdana>. <BR>The particular focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on
real-world <BR>specific matching tasks involving, e.g., biomedical ontologies
and <BR>linked data. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation initiative
<BR>itself will provide a solid ground for discussion of how well <BR>the
current approaches are meeting business needs. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><BR><FONT face=Verdana>TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
<BR> Business and use cases for matching (e.g., open linked
data); <BR> Requirements to matching from specific domains;
<BR> Application of matching techniques in real-world
scenarios; <BR> Formal foundations and frameworks for ontology
matching; <BR> Ontology matching patterns;
<BR> Instance matching; <BR> Large-scale
ontology matching evaluation; <BR> Performance of matching
techniques; <BR> Matcher selection and self-configuration;
<BR> Uncertainty in ontology matching; <BR>
User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);
<BR> Explanations in matching; <BR> Social
and collaborative matching; <BR> Alignment management;
<BR> Reasoning with alignments; <BR>
Matching for traditional applications (e.g., information integration);
<BR> Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., search,
web-services). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><BR><FONT face=Verdana>SUBMISSIONS<BR>Contributions to the workshop can be
