Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative - OAEI-2011 Campaign

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. As the previous year, evaluation will be supported by SEALS platform, see instructions. Aside automatic evaluation (this year we envision to enlarge reference-alignment collection), we will do other kinds of evaluations, see section below.

Results

Results are available.

Data sets

The collection of ontologies is dealing with conference organization. They have been developed within the 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).

As the previous 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 and they can be potentially (if there is an interest) discussed during a short session during the day of workshops when OM workshop will not be held.
