We are inviting instructive and insightful overviews of potential roles of formal ontologies and innovative and high quality research contributions towards enhancing knowledge of modelling, management and implementation of classifications in the networked environment.

Papers are now invited covering the following topics:

Modelling and representation of knowledge classifications
Scope: Underlying principles of classifications; different approaches to defining and modelling concepts and concept categories, facets, classes, properties, relationships (paradigmatic and syntagmatic), roles; issues with rules building complex expressions.
Standards and solutions for innovative and high-quality classification data processing
Scope: Data formats, formal languages and tools for representing classificatory structures. 
Applications and implementations of classification structures as ontologies
Scope: Practical solutions, use, implementation; comparison and analysis of the functionality of knowledge classification structures. 
Theoretical considerations of the role of knowledge classifications
Scope: The point of view of information retrieval, knowledge-based systems and the web of linked data (semantic web).
The proposals should be of interest to academic and research communities dealing with conceptual modelling, information systems design, knowledge organization, knowledge engineering, semantic interoperability & information integration, and natural-language processing.

Contributions may include conference papers and posters. Authors should submit a proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words including references, for papers, and 500-600 words for posters). To submit proposal online go to the submissions page.

Deadline for submission is 30 January 2011.

Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed at the conference.
