    •We present a literature review regarding articles on ontology matching published in the last decade.•It serves the purpose of offering an up-to-date review of the field and showing its evolution trends.•Over 1600 papers have been sorted according to a classification framework that we have defined.•This framework helps in identifying the distribution of the load work in the last decade.•Practitioners have been consulted to contrast and validate the results of the review. The amount of research papers published nowadays related to ontology matching is remarkable and we believe that reflects the growing interest of the research community. However, for new practitioners that approach the field, this amount of information might seem overwhelming. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to help in guiding new practitioners get a general idea on the state of the field and to determine possible research lines. To do so, we first perform a literature review of the field in the last decade by means of an online search. The articles retrieved are sorted using a classification framework that we propose, and the different categories are revised and analyzed. The information in this review is extended and supported by the results obtained by a survey that we have designed and conducted among the practitioners.
