Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes the ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate.
The workshop has three goals:
To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial and final user needs, and therefore direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology matching technology is going to evolve.
To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2011 campaign. The particular focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on real-world specific matching tasks involving, e.g., open linked data and biomedical ontologies. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation initiative itself will provide a solid ground for discussion of how well the current approaches are meeting business needs.
To examine similarities and differences from database schema matching, which has received decades of attention but is just beginning to transition to mainstream tools.

In molte aree tropicali fortemente esposte ai mutamenti climatici, l'agricoltura è già oggi in difficoltà e gli agricoltori non sono in grado di adattarsi a nuovi schemi meteorologici Entro 40 anni Africa e Asia meridionale rischiano di dover fronteggiare diffuse carestie dovute al crollo delle produzioni agricole legate ai cambiamenti climatici e alla incapacità del tessuto agricolo locale di adattarsi a questi cambiamenti.
