Instance Matching Initiative

[Apologies for cross posting] At the address http://www.instancematching.org a new web site about instance matching is available for discussing and notifying problems and initiatives about instance matching. Instance matching is seen as a specific subtask of the more general problem of ontology matching and, for this reason, IM.org has been created in collaboration with http://www.ontologymatching.org starting from the experience of the instance matching evaluation track of OAEI 2009 ( http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2009/ ). If OM.org is the main reference resource about matching in general, IM.org should be seen more as a focused group on the specific field of instance matching. Every user interested in instance matching is invited to subscribe the web site and submit articles, short comments, news or links about: - Theoretical discussions and problems - Methods and techniques for IM - Experiences and empirical work - Instance Matching evaluation - Links to tools, datasets, initiatives
