Tabular data in the form of CSV files is the common input format in a data analytics pipeline. However, a lack of understanding of the semantic structure and meaning of the content may hinder the data analytics process. Thus gaining this semantic understanding will be very valuable for data integration, data cleaning, data mining, machine learning and knowledge discovery tasks. For example, understanding what the data is can help assess what sorts of transformation are appropriate on the data.
Tables on the Web may also be the source of highly valuable data. The addition of semantic information to Web tables may enhance a wide range of applications, such as web search, question answering, and knowledge base (KB) construction.
Tabular data to Knowledge Graph (KG) matching is the process of assigning semantic tags from Knowledge Graphs (e.g., Wikidata or DBpedia) to the elements of the table. This task however is often difficult in practice due to metadata (e.g., table and column names) being missing, incomplete or ambiguous.
The SemTab challenge aims at benchmarking systems dealing with the tabular data to KG matching problem, so as to facilitate their comparison on the same basis and the reproducibility of the results.
The 2022 edition of this challenge will be collocated with the 21st International Semantic Web Conference and the 17th International Workshop on Ontology Matching.
SemTab papers have been published as a volume 3320 of CEUR-WS.
There will be two session associated to the SemTab challenge on Tuesday and a space devoted to the challenge during the ISWC poster session on Wedesday: ISWC program. Videos of the talks are available here.
Tuesday, October 25, ISWC session 11:40-12:40 (CEST). In parallel with Main Track 1A and 1B.
Tuesday, October 25, ISWC session 12:50-13:50 (CEST). In parallel with Main Track 2A and 2B.
Wednesday, October 26, ISWC Poster and demo session: 11:40-13:50 (CEST). Look for the SemTab room in gather.town. Posters available here.

This is a task of ISWC 2022 "Semantic Web Challenge on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph
Matching".
It's to annotate an entity column (i.e., a column composed of entity mentions) in a table with
types from Wikidata
(version: 20220521)
Notes: participants may use the public Wikidata endpoint (or its API) since the above dump is
very recent.
The task is to annotate each entity column by items of Wikidata as its type. Each column can be annotated by multiple types: the one that is as fine grained as possible and correct to all the column cells, is regarded as a perfect annotation; the one that is the ancestor of the perfect annotation is regarded as an okay annotation; others are regarded as wrong annotations.
The annotation can be a normal entity of Wikidata, with the prefix of http://www.wikidata.org/entity/, such as http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q8425. Each column should be annotated by at most one item. A perfect annotation is encouraged with a full score, while an okay annotation can still get a part of the score. Example: "KIN0LD6C","0","http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q8425". Please use the prefix of http://www.wikidata.org/entity/ instead of the URL prefix https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/.
The annotation should be represented by its full IRI, where the case is NOT sensitive. Each submission should be a CSV file. Each line should include a column identified by table id and column id, and the column's annotation (a Wikidata item). It means one line should include three fields: "Table ID", "Column ID" and "Annotation IRI". The headers should be excluded from the submission file.
Notes:The dataset contains:
We encourage one perfect annotation, and at same time score one of its ancestors (okay annotation). Thus we calculate Approximate Precision (\(APrecision\)), Approximate Recall (\(ARecall\)), and Approximate F1 Score (\(AF1\)): \[APrecision = {\sum_{a \in all\ annotations}g(a) \over all\ annotations\ \#}\] \[ARecall = {\sum_{col \in all\ target\ columns}(max\_annotation\_score(col)) \over all\ target\ columns\ \#}\] \[AF1 = {2 \times APrecision \times ARecall \over APrecision + ARecall}\]
Notes:where \(d(a)\) is the depth to the perfect annotation. E.g., \(d(a)=1\) if \(a\) is a parent of the perfect annotation, and \(d(a)=2\) if \(a\) is a grandparent of the perfect annotation.

It is to annotate column cells (entity mentions) in a table with entities of
Wikidata
(version: 20220521)
Notes: participants may use the public Wikidata endpoint (or its API) since the above dump is
very recent.
The task is to annotate each target cell with an entity of Wikidata. Each submission should contain the annotation of the target cell. One cell can be annotated by one entity with the prefix of http://www.wikidata.org/entity/. Any of the equivalent entities of the ground truth entity are regarded as correct. Case is NOT sensitive.
The submission file should be in CSV format. Each line should contain the annotation of one cell which is identified by a table id, a column id and a row id. Namely one line should have four fields: "Table ID", "Row ID", "Column ID" and "Entity IRI". Each cell should be annotated by at most one entity. The headers should be excluded from the submission file. Here is an example: "OHGI1JNY","32","1","http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q5484". Please use the prefix of http://www.wikidata.org/entity/ instead of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/ which is the prefix of the Wikidata page URL.
Notes:The dataset contains:
Precision, Recall and F1 Score are calculated: \[Precision = {{correct\_annotations \#} \over {submitted\_annotations \#}}\] \[Recall = {{correct\_annotations \#} \over {ground\_truth\_annotations \#}}\] \[F1 = {2 \times Precision \times Recall \over Precision + Recall}\]

It is to annotate column relationships in a table with properties of
Wikidata
(version: 20220521)
Notes: participants may use the public Wikidata endpoint (or its API) since the above dump is
very recent.
The task is to annotate each column pair with a property of Wikidata. Each submission should contain an annotation of a target column pair. Note the order of the two columns matters. The annotation property should start with the prefix of http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/. Case is NOT sensitive.
The submission file should be in CSV format. Each line should contain the annotation of two columns which is identified by a table id, column id one and column id two. Namely one line should have four fields: "Table ID", "Column ID 1", "Column ID 2" and "Property IRI". Each column pair should be annotated by at most one property. The headers should be excluded from the submission file. Here is an example: "OHGI1JNY","0","1","http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/P702". Please use the prefix of http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/ instead of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/ which is the prefix of the Wikidata page URL.
Notes:The dataset contains:
Precision, Recall and F1 Score are calculated: \[Precision = {{correct\_annotations \#} \over {submitted\_annotations \#}}\] \[Recall = {{correct\_annotations \#} \over {ground\_truth\_annotations \#}}\] \[F1 = {2 \times Precision \times Recall \over Precision + Recall}\]
