(</FONT><A href=""><FONT face=新細明體>http://www.tc37sc4.org/</FONT></A><FONT
face=新細明體>)<BR><BR>The OntoLex workshop series is concerned with the interface
between<BR>knowledge representation in ontologies and the representation and use
of<BR>linguistic knowledge as encoded in (multilingual) lexicons.
Previous<BR>OntoLex workshops were held in Sozopol (2000), Las Palmas (2002),
Lisboa<BR>(2004), Jeju (2005), Genoa (2006). The extraction of ontology
elements<BR>from textual data is a pre-requisite for many Semantic Web
applications.<BR>Hence the interface between ontologies (describing objects in a
domain)<BR>and the lexicon (describing the linguistic features of terms that
refer<BR>to such objects) is becoming increasingly important. We
invite<BR>submission of papers on the following topics in this
interdisciplinary<BR>research area:<BR><BR>The lexicon/ontology interface<BR>*
Design principles for the integrated representation of lexical
and<BR>ontological knowledge<BR>* The lexicon/ontology interface in multilingual
and cross-cultural<BR>aspects of ontologies<BR><BR>The lexicon in Semantic Web
applications<BR>* The role of (multilingual) lexicons in knowledge markup and
ontology<BR>population, i.e. in ontology-based information extraction from
text<BR>* Lexical aspects in ontology learning from text, i.e. in
(multilingual)<BR>term extraction, relation extraction, etc.<BR>* Lexical
approaches to ontology matching, i.e. in the extraction,<BR>representation and
use of synonyms for mapping between class/property<BR>labels<BR>* Reengineering
lexicons as ontologies, e.g. porting wordnets and<BR>framenets to the Semantic
Web<BR><BR>Ontologies in knowledge-based Natural Language Processing<BR>*
Ontological constraints on lexicon development for knowledge-based NLP<BR>*
Ontologies as resources for NLP-based tasks (question answering,<BR>document
classification, text mining, expert search, etc.)<BR><BR>Important
