Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative - OAEI-2011 Campaign

IM@OAEI2011 is an initiative for the evaluation of instance matching techniques and tools. IM@OAEI2011 is a track of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI - http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2011), held every year in collaboration with the Ontology Matching Workshop at ISWC (http://www.ontologymatching.org).

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

IM@OAEI2010 is focused on RDF and OWL data in the context of the Semantic Web. Participants will be asked to execute their algorithms against various datasets and their results will be evaluated by comparing them with a pre-defined reference alignment provided by IM@OAEI2011. Participating systems are free to use any combination of matching techniques and background knowledge. Participants are requested to send their results in form of RDF Alignments (http://alignapi.gforge.inria.fr/format.html) to the This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
