Description
===========
Modeling corporate knowledge is one of the most attractive themes in
applied research and it has been an important motivation for several
areas of investigations like distribute systems and knowledge
management. Clearly, the business world considers this issue of
strategic relevance and keeps paying particular attention to it
because many theoretical results have already been proved
effectiveness in real applications like data warehouse construction,
information infrastructure definition, and all processes and
applications of knowledge management.
These knowledge models in industry aim at providing a framework for
information and knowledge sharing, reliable information exchange,
meaning negotiation and coordination between distinct organizations or
among members of the same one.
With the application of new methodologies and techniques in the
everyday practice and the accessibility of new theoretical results in
this area, developing new tools based on more sophisticated frameworks
has become a common need. This is an important reason for the
increasing interest in the employment of formal ontologies in fields
like medicine, engineering, financial and legal systems, and other
business practices.
Objectives
==========
The workshop is a forum to meet and discuss problems, solutions,
perspectives and research directions for researchers and
practitioners. We welcome papers or project descriptions that aim at
applying formal ontologies in industry. In particular,
- theoretical studies on formal ontologies committed to provide
sound bases for industrial applications and to allow formal
representation of corporate knowledge;
- business experiences on case studies that single out concrete
problems and possible solutions; the experience analysis should
provide useful insights on social and strategic aspects that might be
relevant in the creation and deployment of formal ontologies as well
as useful criteria or methods to evaluate ontologies and their
effectiveness in applications.
********************************************************
Proceedings
===========
A selection of the best papers accepted at the workshop will be
reconsidered for publication in a special track of the international
journal 'Applied Ontology'
