September 21-23, Bolzano, Italy

** Description and Scope **



The Ontology Debugging and Evaluation Workshop (DEW) aims to advance
ontology evaluation and the detection, understanding, and correction of
errors in ontologies and ontological knowledge bases.



The scope of submissions sought includes, but is not limited to, such
topics as formal methods, tools, and identification of particular
challenges. Papers discussing ontology quality criteria, metrics,
experimental results, particular cases, and lessons learned are encouraged.



The DEW organizers encourage variety in emphasis in perspective.
Submissions may emphasize more or less formal, experiential, practical, or
theoretical aspects of debugging and evaluation. Similarly, papers may
arise, for example, from the perspectives of ontology (re)users, ontology
developers, or those responsible for the quality assurance of ontologies
incorporated into larger systems.





** Relationship to JOWO **



DEW is part of JOWO 2017: The 3rd Joint Ontology Workshops. JOWO 2017 will
be held September 21-23, 2017, in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.
