Apologies for cross-posting We are pleased to announce the 2nd UK Ontology Network Meeting, to be held at University of Edinburgh on April 11th 2013 (http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk /events/ukont-13/2013_workshop_program.html).
The theme of this meeting is *to understand how ontology development and application are being used to address problems* in the UK. Amongst other areas of interest, there will be a particular focus on creating and using *open data*. The program and audience is intentionally very diverse; the aim is to cover areas from many disciplines. We are particularly interested in bringing together those creating and developing the technology with those using the technology in industry, government and public organisations. The workshop will largely follow the format of last year's successful 1st meeting, held in Manchester (http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk /events/ukont-13/ukon_workshop_2012.html). Registration will be opening shortly. We expect to charge a small fee to cover catering. The programme will be announced in due course. Confirmed speakers at this stage are: Name Affiliation John Callahan ONR Global Alan Bundy University of Edinburgh Phil Barker Heriot-Watt University Gill Hamilton National Library of Scotland Richard Gunn EPSRC Enrico Motta Open University Peter Winstanley Scottish Government Peter Murray-Rust Open Knowledge Foundation Edoardo Pignotti University of Aberdeen Frank van Harmelen VU, Amsterdam Tom Grahame BBC Jeff Pan University of Aberdeen Janice Watson NHS Scotland Ewan Klein University of Edinburgh Robert Barr Open Data User Group; University of Liverpool Chris Mellish University of Aberdeen We hope to see many of you in Edinburgh in April.
