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
