Consensus workshop

Content:

As a complement to current type of ontology alignment evaluation scenario, this year will also be held a consensus workshop. It will serve for presentation and discussion of results of mining for interesting ontology alignments. There will be no prior reference alignment, and consensus on alignment will be reached via discussion. Compared to the contest scenario, it potentially enables to discuss:

• alignment types unforeseen by organizers,
• alignment types too sophisticated to be evaluated using standard metrics,
• negative results as useful feedback.

The collection of ontologies is dealing with conference organisation. They have been developed within OntoFarm project. 10 ontologies are included. 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 conference organisation (indicated in column Type with mark Insider).
