It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspo ndences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation o ver knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies en ables the knowledge and data expressed with the ma tched ontologies to interoperate. This Internatio nal Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop has th ree goals: 1. To bring together leaders from acade mia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requir ements. 2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous ev aluation of ontology matching and instance matchin g (link discovery) approaches through the OAEI 202 0 campaign. 3. To examine similarities and differe nces from other, old, new and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowled ge embeddings. This year, in sync with the main c onference, we encourage submissions specifically d evoted to: (i) datasets, benchmarks and replicatio n studies, services, software, methodologies, prot ocols and measures (not necessarily related to OAE I), and (ii) application of the matching technolog y in real-life scenarios and assessment of its use fulness to the final users. Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and posters/statements of interest addressing diff erent issues of ontology matching as well as parti cipating in the OAEI 2020 campaign. Long technical papers should be of max. 12 pages. Short technica l papers should be of max. 5 pages. Posters/statem ents of interest should not exceed 2 pages.

Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in so me classical data integration tasks dealing with t he semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontolo gies as input and determines as output an alignmen t, that is, a set of correspondences between the s emantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various task s, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, qu ery answering or navigation over knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge a nd data expressed with the matched ontologies to i nteroperate.
\n\nThis International S emantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop has three g oals: 1. To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how acade mic advances are addressing real-world requirement s. 2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluat ion of ontology matching and instance matching (li nk discovery) approaches through the OAEI 2020 cam paign. 3. To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowledge em beddings.
This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions specifically devoted to: (i) datasets, benchmarks and replication studies, services, software, meth odologies, protocols and measures (not necessarily related to OAEI), and (ii) application of the mat ching technology in real-life scenarios and assess ment of its usefulness to the final users.
\n\nContributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and posters/statements o f interest addressing different issues of ontology matching as well as participating in the OAEI 202 0 campaign. Long technical papers should be of max . 12 pages. Short technical papers should be of ma x. 5 pages. Posters/statements of interest should not exceed 2 pages. All contributions have to be p repared using the LNCS Style.
