International Workshop
"ONTOLOGY BASED MODELLING IN THE HUMANITIES"
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
Organisers
* Walther v. Hahn (University of Hamburg)
