TL;DR: The OAEI 2012 campaign on ontology matching as mentioned in this paper was the first one to use a new evaluation modality which provides more automation to the evaluation of ontologies, e.g., blind evaluation, open evaluation, consensus.

Matching ontologies in open networked systems: techniques and applications
TL;DR: This paper describes how H-Match enforces its capabilities through a combination of syntactic and semantic techniques as well as through a set of four matching models, namely surface, shallow, deep, and intensive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Data Linking for the Semantic Web
TL;DR: The authors propose in this paper the term data linking to name the problem of finding equivalent resources on the Web of linked data to ensure a Web of data and not just a set of unconnected data islands.

H-match: an algorithm for dynamically matching ontologies in peer-based systems
TL;DR: H-match is presented, an algorithm for dynamically matching distributed ontologies by exploiting ontology knowledge descriptions to dynamically perform ontology matching at different levels of depth, with different degrees of flexibility and accuracy.

TL;DR: Ontology matching consists of finding correspondences between ontology entities OAEI campaigns aim at comparing ontology matching systems on precisely defined test cases Test cases can use ontologies of different nature (from expressive OWL ontologies to simple directories) and use different modalities.
