Dear All, For those of you who will or might attend ISWC in Karlsruhe, you may be interested in the 1-day tutorial on reasoning for Ontology Engineering and Usage, on 27 Oct 2008. In brief: Engineering and using large OWL ontologies is a complex task for which impressive tool support has recently been developed. Since OWL ontologies are based on logic and involve entailments, this tool support may involve reasoning, e.g., for query answering, inference explanation, etc. Our tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of such tool support from a user perspective, and explains the benefits of automated reasoning for the user. More information about the topics (theory and hands-on) that will be covered can be obtained from the tutorial web page at http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/2008/iswc-tones/, which are, among others, data integration, OBDA, understanding and repairing inferences, and bottom-up approaches to ontology development. Registration can be done through the conference website at http://iswc2008.semanticweb.org/. Best regards, Marijke C.
