As interest in the Semantic Web increases > and technologies for realizing the Semantic Web become more mature, > the need for high-quality and reusable Semantic Web ontologies > increases as well. To address the quality and reusability issues, different > types of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) have emerged, and methods > for devising or discovering new ones from heterogeneous knowledge > sources are needed. > > Patterns need to be shared by a community in order to provide a > common language, and to stimulate pattern usage and development. > Hence, the aim of this workshop is twofold > > * providing an arena for proposing and discussing good practices, > patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems etc., and > > * broadening the pattern community that is developing its own > “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their > solutions. > > WOP2014 will be a half-day workshop consisting of two parts: paper > presentations and posters. The poster session will feature pattern > posters, i.e. presentations of patterns submitted according the > call for patterns. > > ---- Fast-track submission to the Semantic Web journal ---- > This year's workshop on ontology and semantic web patterns will offer a > fast-track submission of selected papers to the Semantic Web journal's > special issue on ontology design patterns. Authors of the best papers will be > invited to submit a revised and extended version of their work to the > journal. While fast-tracked papers will still undergo a full open and > transparent review, they will be considered as /acceptable/ by the journal. > Please note that we will make the selection of papers based on how suitable > they are for such an extended submission and that such papers may still get > rejected by the journal, e.g., if the authors fail to address the issues > pointed out during review. Please contact Krzysztof Janowicz if you have > further questions, e.g., on the suitability of a paper. > > ---- Paper Topics For Research Papers and Short Papers ----- > The main aim of the workshop is to discuss and collect solutions to > recurrent problems that matter to researchers and practitioners of > the Semantic Web field, and that impact on design and engineering > of ontologies, linked data, knowledge extraction, and other semantic > web applications. We invite the submission of original research results > related to the focus areas of the workshop. Research papers (maximum > 12 pages LNCS style) should present mature work and document > established results, or be short papers presenting proposed research > directions and novel ideas (maximum 4 pages LNCS style). > > Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): > > * Ontology design patterns (ODPs) and pattern-based ontology design > * Anti-patterns and their relations to ODPs > * Pattern-based ontologies > * Ontology patterns and their relation with standards > * Ontology pattern extraction > * Analysis of ontology pattern usage > * Pattern-based ontology evaluation and selection > * Correspondence patterns for ontology matching and integration > * Best practices and examples for using existing ontologies/datasets to > instantiate ODPs > * Discussion of use cases of particular ODPs across ontologies > * Evaluation of ODPs (methods, benchmarks) > > * Patterns and Linked data (usage, emerging patterns, etc.) > * Linked Data patterns, patterns for using different vocabularies together > * Web semantics from a pattern perspective > * ODPs used for interaction with data > * Data mining patterns > * Automatic ontology construction (ontology learning) based on patterns > * Reasoning pipelines > * Usage of patterns in business intelligence > > * Relation between NLP patterns (either for learning, or procedural) and > ontologies/linked data design > * Frame semantics in text and knowledge representation > * Knowledge patterns and knowledge reengineering based on patterns > * Pattern-based information extraction > * Nary-fact extraction and representation > > * Patterns in semantic social networks, semantic wikis, semantic blogs > * Reengineering patterns for conceptual models, folksonomies, lexicons, > thesauri > * Usage of patterns in conceptual modeling > * Processes and services process patterns > * Problem solving methods and patterns > * Contextual reasoning and patterns as context > > * Pattern-based methods and methodologies for development of semantic > applications > * Usage of patterns in Semantic Web design > * Collaborative ontology design and collaboration patterns > * Tools and applications for pattern-based knowledge engineering > > * Ontology Patterns for specific domains (cultural heritage, digital > humanities, multimedia, etc). > > > For submission details visit: > http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2014/Submission > > ----- Patterns ----- > > We invite the submission of research results in the form of ontology > design patterns (ODPs). Patterns submitted should have a general > relevance to the ontology engineering field, or specific interest > within a knowledge domain. Patterns should solve some particular > modeling problem, and be of significant interest for discussion at the > workshop. Patterns should be original, in the sense that they are the > intellectual product of the author(s), however they may still be based > on the collective experience of a community. > > Pattern submissions for the pattern session will be collected: > > * through the ODP portal and > * by submitting a description of the pattern (pattern description) via > EasyChair > > Detailed instructions for patterns submission, including how to submit > via the ontologydesignpatterns.org portal, are found at the submission > page at: http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2014/Submission > > Note that an account in the ODP portal is needed for submitting patterns; > thus, authors should take care to request an account at least one week > before their intended submission. > > Pattern submissions can be made in any type of ODPs. Currently, portal > templates for submission are provided for the following types of > patterns (see general typology for explanation of the types): > > * Content patterns > * Structural patterns: logical and architecture patterns. > * Correspondence patterns: re-engineering and alignment patterns. > > For other types of patterns, the author is welcome to submit only > a pattern description. > > > ---- Important dates (2014, 11:59 Hawaii time) ---- > > * Submission date (research papers and patterns): 7 July, 2014 > * Author notifications: July 30, 2014 > * Camera-ready proceedings: August 20, 2014 > * Workshops will be held on October 19-20, 2014 (tba) > > ----- WOP2014 Chairs ----- > > * Victor de Boer, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands > * Aldo Gangemi, LIPN Paris Sorbonne Citè/Paris 13 (FR) > * Krzysztof Janowicz, University of California, Santa Barbara > * Agnieszka Ławrynowicz, Poznan University of Technology, Poland > > ----- Steering Committee ----- > > The workshop series is arranged by a fixed steering committee, > appointing the chairs and adjusting the focus of the workshop > on a yearly basis. > > The WOP Steering committee consists of: > > * Eva Blomqvist, ISTC-CNR (IT) > * Aldo Gangemi, ISTC-CNR (IT) > * Natasha Noy, Stanford University (US) > * Valentina Presutti, ISTC-CNR (IT) > * Alan Rector, University of Manchester (UK) > * Francois Scharffe, INRIA (FR) > * Steffen Staab, University of Koblenz (DE) > * Chris Welty, IBM Watson Research Center (US) > > > ----- Program Committee ----- > > * Benjamin Adams, University of Auckland, NZ > * Alessandro Adamou, KMI Open University (UK) > * Lora Aroyo, VU (NL) > * Eva Blomqvist, Linköping University (SE) > * Victor de Boer, VU University Amsterdam (NL) > * Oscar Corcho, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ES) > * Enrico Daga, ISTC-CNR, Rome (IT) > * Aldo Gangemi, LIPN Paris Sorbonne Citè/Paris 13 (FR) > * Jose Manuel Gomez-Perez, Intelligent Software Components (iSOCO) (ES) > * Gerd Gröner, University of Koblenz (DE) > * Giancarlo Guizzardi, Federal University of Espírito Santo (BR) > * Pascal Hitzler, Wright State University (US) > * Rinke Hoekstra, Vrije Universiteit/Universiteit van Amsterdam, (NL) > * Krzysztof Janowicz, University of California, Santa Barbara (US) > * Adila Alfa Krisnadhi, Wright State University (US) > * Jose Emilio Labra Gayo, University of Oviedo, (SP) > * Agnieszka Ławrynowicz, Poznań University of Technology (PL) > * Steffen Lohmann, University of Stuttgart (DE) > * Timothy Lebo, RPI, USA > * Andrea Giovanni Nuzzolese, University of Bologna/STLab ISTC-CNR (IT) > * Alessandro Oltramari, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh (US) > * Raul Palma, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PL) > * María Poveda, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (SP) > * Catherine Roussey, Irstea - Centre de Clermont-Ferrand, France > * Alan Ruttenberg, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, > Buffalo, NY, (US) > * Kurt Sandkuhl, University of Rostock (SE) > * Mari Carmen Suarez-Figueroa, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, (SP) > * Vojtech Svatek, University of Economics, Prague (CZ) > * Boris Villazón-Terrazas, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ES) > -- > Krzysztof Janowicz > > Geography Department, University of California, Santa Barbara > 5806 Ellison Hall, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-4060 > > Email: [email protected] > Webpage: http://geog.ucsb.edu/~jano/ > Semantic Web Journal: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net >
