BRIEF DESCRIPTION Ontology matching is an important task for semantic system interoperability. Yet it is not easy to assess the respective qualities of available matching systems. The Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) is a coordinated international initiative set up for evaluating ontology matching systems. OAEI campaigns consist of applying matching systems to ontology pairs and evaluating their results.

OAEI-2009 is the sixth OAEI campaign. It will consist of five tracks gathering elleven test cases and different evaluation modalities. The tracks cover: (i) comparison track; (ii) expressive ontologies; (iii) directories and thesauri; (iv) oriented matching; (v) instance matching.

Anyone developing ontology matchers can participate by evaluating their systems and sending the results to the organizers. Tools for evaluating results and preliminary test bench tuning are available. Final results of the campaign will be presented at the Ontology Matching workshop and published in the proceedings.
