FINAL  CALL  FOR PAPERS *DEADLINE EXTENDED 10 January
***  apologize for multiple postings ***

                        International Workshop

             "ONTOLOGY BASED MODELLING IN THE HUMANITIES"
    (http://www.c-phil.uni-hamburg.de/view/Main/OntologyWorkshop)

                7-9 April 2006, University of Hamburg
                                   
In the new area of digitalized information, researchers from the
humanities face a new problem: semantic data organisation. In contrast
with the data processed by natural sciences, the material in most
fields of humanities is mostly unstructured. The structuring of such
data is a complex problem that can be solved only by formal models and
languages from computer science. However the application of formal
models from formal sciences (especially computing) is itself a
scientific problem as humanists have their own scientific culture not
only in the argumentation and meta-theories but also in their way of
communication. With the development of the Semantic Web the
"ontology"-concept became an important "key" for
data-structuring. Some ontologies were developed also in the
Humanities, but there is still no overview of what exists, which
standards are used and how well the current ontologies meet the users
requirements.

The current workshop aims to fill this gap and act also as a
discussion forum We welcome original papers related (but not limited)
to one or more of the following topics:

	*  theoretical relevant models for humanities
	*  formal prerequisites
	*  specific ontologies for different fields in Humanities
	*  collaborative tools for ontology manipulation
	*  Semantic Web technologies for preserving cultural heritage
	*  Semi-automatic ontology extraction
	*  Ontology development in multilingual context
	*  Practical use of ontologies in Humanities

	* Walther v. Hahn (University of Hamburg)
	* Cristina Vertan (University of Hamburg)
