Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative

The increasing number of methods available for schema or ontology matching mandate consensus for evaluation of these methods. The Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative is a coordinated international initiative to forge this consensus.

The goals of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative are:

assessing strengths and weaknesses of alignment/matching systems;
comparing performance of techniques;
increase communication among algorithm developers;
improve evaluation techniques;
most of all, helping improving the work on ontology alignment/matching.

through the controlled experimental evaluation of the techniques performances.

The means to achieve these goals are:

The organization of a yearly evaluation event;
The publication of the tests and results of the event for further analysis.
