		  3rd International Workshop on

       Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for The Enterprise
                          (VORTE 2007)

            Annapolis, Maryland, USA, October 15, 2007


The goal of the workshop is to discuss the role that foundational and
domain ontologies play in the conceptual development and
implementation of next generation tools for enterprise computing. The
VORTE workshop covers research topics relevant to description
formalisms for enterprise application architectures, services,
content, and regulations. Since enterprise vocabularies and
ontologies, as well as business rules do not exist in isolation but
serve to support business processes, this year a special emphasis is
on business process modelling and management. Fundamental research
aspect covered by the workshop includes ontological evaluation of
enterprise systems and their interoperability, and ontological
analysis of business process modelling. Applied research aspect
includes enhancing business rule engines and business process
management systems by ontologies. In the area of modelling, our topics
include how process modelling and execution languages, such as
Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and Business Process
Execution Language (BPEL), relate to business ontologies. The workshop
also covers ontology-based service description technologies for
inter-enterprise collaboration like extensions to UDDI or OWL-S.


This definitely promises a lot of fun, and we are looking forward to
meeting you in Annapolis. Please, do not forget to register at
