User validation is one of the challenges facing the ontology alignment community, as there are limits to the quality of the alignments produced by automated alignment algorithms. In this paper, we present a broad study on user validation of ontology alignments that encompasses three distinct but inter-related aspects: the profile of the user, the services of the alignment system, and its user interface. We discuss key issues pertaining to the alignment validation process under each of these aspects and provide an overview of how current systems address them. Finally, we use experiments from the Interactive Matching track of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative 2015–2018 to assess the impact of errors in alignment validation, and how systems cope with them as function of their services.

本体对齐中的用户验证：功能评估和影响

用户验证是本体对齐社区面临的挑战之一，因为自动对齐算法产生的对齐质量存在限制。在本文中，我们对本体对齐的用户验证进行了广泛的研究，包括三个不同但相互关联的方面：用户资料、对齐系统的服务及其用户界面。我们在每个方面讨论与对齐验证过程有关的关键问题，并概述当前系统如何解决这些问题。最后，我们使用来自 2015-2018 年本体对齐评估倡议的交互式匹配轨道的实验来评估对齐验证中错误的影响，以及系统如何将它们作为其服务的功能来处理。
