<p style="margin:0px 0px 6.5px;font-size:13px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';color:rgb(50,51,51)">The Semantic Web is growing in terms of both the amount and diversity of data being published, yet leveraging this trove of information in a cohesive way remains challenging. Ontology and Linked Data matching are critical to achieving interoperability among resources on the Semantic Web. Matching systems seek to create alignments between datasets that establish correspondences between semantically related entities belonging to the different datasets. Over the last decade, matching systems have made great strides in finding equivalence relations between classes and instances, and real-world applications making use of these capabilities have begun to appear. Nevertheless, challenges stemming from the size, complexity, and variety of relationships among resources on the Semantic Web today require further technical and theoretical innovation. We welcome original papers that address the following areas:</p>
