********************************************************************<br>
<br>
In conjunction of the International Federated Conferences
(OTM '06)<br>
<br>
3-4 Nov 2006, Montpellier, France<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This workshop is organized by the Ontology Outreach Authority OOA <br>
<br>
(Knowledge Web NoE). The OOA is devoted to develop strategies for
ontology <br>
<br>
recommendation and standardization, thereby promoting and providing
<br>
<br>
outreach for verifiable quality ontological content.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Current trends within the Semantic Web research are mainly concerned with
<br>
<br>
technological issues, such as language capabilities, inference services,
<br>
<br>
etc. Yet less attention has been given to ontology content and its <br>
<br>
quality.This workshop aims to focus on content issues, such as <br>
<br>
methodologies and tools concerned with modeling good ontologies, <br>
<br>
approaches to ontology content evaluation, quality measures, ontology
<br>
<br>
content management (e.g. metadata,libraries, and registration), ontology
<br>
<br>
documentation, etc. The workshop also aims to give a special attention to
<br>
<br>
ontology content issues in two industrial sectors: human resources and
<br>
<br>
employment, and healthcare and life sciences.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We welcome papers and (past/planned) project descriptions that discuss
<br>
<br>
ontology modeling and evaluation aspects, particularly:<br>
<br>
* Research papers presenting theoretical solutions, but with a
clear<br>
<br>
illustration on how these solutions can be applied in
industry.<br>
<br>
* Position papers presenting opinions on some aspect of ontology
practice,<br>
<br>
or describing work that is still in progress, but sufficiently
mature to<br>
<br>
warrant attention.<br>
<br>
* Business experience and case studies specifying requirements, <br>
<br>
challenges, or opportunities of modeling and applying ontologies
in <br>
<br>
industry.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Workshop Structure<br>
<br>
================<br>
<br>
The workshop consists of three tracks: Ontology Evaluation, Ontologies in

Submissions<br>
<br>
============<br>
<br>
We invite (A) research papers describing original studies of no more
than<br>
<br>
12 pages; (B) Position papers presenting opinions or work in progress of
<br>
<br>
no more than 6 pages; and (C) Business experience and case studies of no
<br>
<br>
more than 8 pages. Submitted papers will be fully refereed based on the
<br>
<br>
originality and significance of the ideas presented as well as on <br>
<br>
technical aspects. Each paper will be reviewed by at least one expert
from<br>
<br>
academia, and at least one expert from industry. The final proceedings
<br>
<br>
will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer
<br>
<br>
Science). Author instructions can be found at: <br>
