Call for ontology matching systems

<BR><BR>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR><BR><BR>
OAEI-2009<BR> Ontology Alignment Evaluation
Initiative<BR><BR>in cooperation with the ISWC Ontology Matching
workshop<BR>October 25, 2009 - Chantilly, near Washington DC., USA

http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2009/<BR><BR>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR><BR><BR>BRIEF
DESCRIPTION<BR>Ontology matching is an important task for semantic
system<BR>interoperability. Yet it is not easy to assess the
respective<BR>qualities of available matching systems. The Ontology
<BR>Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) is a coordinated <BR>international
initiative set up for evaluating ontology <BR>matching systems. OAEI campaigns
consist of applying<BR>matching systems to ontology pairs and evaluating their
<BR>results.<BR><BR>OAEI-2009 is the sixth OAEI campaign. It will consist<BR>of
five tracks gathering elleven test cases and different <BR>evaluation
modalities. The tracks cover:<BR>(i) comparison track;<BR>(ii) expressive
ontologies;<BR>(iii) directories and thesauri;<BR>(iv) oriented matching;<BR>(v)
instance matching.<BR><BR><BR>Anyone developing ontology matchers can
participate by<BR>evaluating their systems and sending the results to
the<BR>organizers. Tools for evaluating results and preliminary<BR>test bench
tuning are available. Final results of the<BR>campaign will be presented at the
Ontology Matching workshop<BR>and published in the
proceedings.<BR><BR><BR>IMPORTANT DATES<BR>June 1st, 2009: First publication of
test cases<BR>June 22nd, 2009: Comments on test cases (any time before that
date)<BR>July 6th, 2009: Final publication of test cases<BR>Sept. 1st,
2009: Preliminary results due (for interoperability-checking)<BR>Sept. 28st,
2009: Participants send final results and supporting papers<BR>Oct. 5th, 2009:
Organizers publish results for comments<BR>Oct. 25th, 2009: OM-2009 workshop +
