Conference track

Conference track now contains 16 ontologies from the same domain (conference organization). These ontologies are quite suitable for ontology matching task because of their heterogenous character of origin. This year, evaluation will be supported by SEALS platform, see instructions. Aside automatic evaluation, we will do other kinds of evaluations, see section below.

Results

Part of results is already available. Further evaluation methods and details are in progress and will be ready soon.

Data sets

The collection of ontologies is dealing with conference organization. They have been developed within OntoFarm project. 16 ontologies are included; the last one (linklings.owl) is in the OWL 2 profile. Each of them is shortly described in the following table. Ontologies have been based upon three types of underlying resources:

actual conference (series) and its web pages (indicated in column Type with mark Web),
actual software tool for conference organisation support (indicated in column Type with mark Tool),
experience of people with personal participation in organisation of actual conference (indicated in column Type with mark Insider).

Name is derived from name of conference or conference organisation tool. For downloading this ontology, just click on its name or you can download all ontologies at once.
DL expressivity was obtained by Pellet reasoner.

Modalities

This year participants will use SEALS platform to deliver their results, see instructions. Correspondences submitted via SEALS platform will be evaluated with several evaluation methods: evaluation based on reference alignment, manual labeling, data mining method, logical reasoning.

Furthermore, participants can directly submit their 'interesting individual correspondences' ('nuggets') which could represent complex correspondences to organizers of this conference track, for contacts please see below. These correspondences will be evaluated manually.

Schedule

June 1st: datasets are out
June 21st: end of commenting period
July 5th: tests are frozen
August 30th: participants send preliminary results (for interoperability-checking) and ensure that their tools work under the SEALS platform
October 4th: participants send final results and papers
October 11th: organisers publish results for comments
November 7th: final results ready .
