Call for Papers

Approaching to the twentieth anniversary, the WWW today is a mature
environment supporting the development of distributed applications
without imposing any particular limitation. Technologies,
methodologies and standards converge toward full operational
capabilities by being service oriented, with a focus on statelessness,
low coupled, modular, and semantic interoperable.  In this context the
issues related to the quality of data and process representation are
crucial, as it is required to deal with data that are valuable,
expressive, shareable e and manipulable at the same time. In this
context the role of good quality ontology (i.e. good quality
conceptualizations, encoded in portable and extensible format)
acquires more and more relevance.

This workshop aims to focus on content issues, such as methodologies
and tools concerned with modeling good ontologies, approaches to
ontology content evaluation, quality measures, ontology content
management (e.g. metadata, libraries, and registration), ontology
documentation, etc. The workshop also aims to give a special attention
to ontology content issues in: Business, human resources and
employment, healthcare and life sciences, and Web 3.0. We welcome
papers and (past/planned) project descriptions that discuss ontology
aspects, particularly: Research papers presenting theoretical
solutions, but with a clear illustration on how these solutions can be
applied in industry.  Position papers presenting opinions on some
aspect of ontology practice, or describing work that is still in
progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant attention.  Business
experience and case studies specifying requirements, challenges, or
opportunities of modeling and applying ontologies in industry.
