*WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:*

** **

To meet the increasing demands of the complex inter-organizational
processes and the demand for continuous innovation and
internationalization, it is evident that new forms of organisation are
being adopted, fostering more intensive collaboration processes and
sharing of resources, in what can be called collaborative networks
(Camarinha-Matos, 2006:03). Information and knowledge are crucial
resources in collaborative networks, being their management fundamental
processes to optimize.****

Knowledge organisation and collaboration systems are thus important
instruments for the success of collaborative networks of organisations
having been researched in the last decade in the areas of computer
science, information science, management sciences, terminology and
linguistics.  Nevertheless, research in this area didn’t give much
attention to multilingual contexts of collaboration, which pose specific
and challenging problems. It is then clear that access to and
representation of knowledge will happen more and more on a multilingual
setting which implies the overcoming of difficulties inherent to the
presence of multiple languages, through the use of processes like
localization of ontologies.  ****

Although localization, like other processes that involve
multilingualism, is a rather well-developed practice and its
methodologies and tools fruitfully employed by the language industry in
the development and adaptation of multilingual content, it has not yet
been sufficiently explored as an element of support to the development
of knowledge representations - in particular ontologies - expressed in
more than one language. Multilingual knowledge representation is then an
open research area calling for cross-contributions from knowledge
engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences,
computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management
sciences.****

This workshop intends to join researchers interested in multilingual
knowledge representation, in a multidisciplinary environment to debate
the possibilities of cross-fertilization between knowledge engineering,
terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational
linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences
applied to contexts where multilingualism continuously creates new and
demanding challenges to current knowledge representation methods and
techniques.****
