OAEI 2017.5 pre-campaign and special issue

--Apologies for cross-posting--

This is the second call for systems for the 2017.5 edition of the Ontology
Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI):
http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2017.5/

Since 2004, OAEI has been supporting the extensive and rigorous evaluation
of ontology matching and instance matching techniques.

This year we are planning to migrate the OAEI evaluation to the HOBBIT
platform (https://project-hobbit.eu/). As it was done in 2012 when the
evaluation was moved to SEALS, this year we are running a pre-campaign
(OAEI 2017.5) to make the transition smoother.


NEWS
------------------
- Migration to HOBBIT platform. Please check the preliminary instructions:
http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2017.5/
In case you have participated in the past, note that the wrapping
instructions are different from SEALS so do not hesitate to contact
relevant organisers if you have any doubts.

- We will have a special issue for the OAEI 2017.5 systems and evaluation
in a journal with impact factor. Details will be provided soon.
