WOP 2010: Call for Participation

Workshop on Ontology Patterns 2010 @ ISWC 2010 - Shanghai, China
Workshop date: November 8th, 2010
Workshop program: http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2010#Program

WOP is a full-day ISWC workshop addressing the emerging topic of ontology patterns as best practices, related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. Patterns need to be shared by a community in order to provide a common language and stimulate pattern usage and development. Hence, the aim of this workshop is twofold; both providing an arena for proposing and discussing good practices, patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems etc., and broadening the pattern community that will develop its own “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. 

WOP program features a keynote presentation by Chris Welty who will talk about “Archeology of Ontology Patterns” [1].

After the keynote presentation the workshop program [2] will consist of three parts; paper presentations, posters/demos, and “pattern writing” sessions. 

The poster session will feature paper posters and pattern posters, i.e. presentations of patterns submitted through ontologydesignpatterns.org. It will also include late breking news. 

The pattern writing session will be a working slot where solutions to ontology design problems will be discussed and drafted by the workshop attendees. Ontology design problems have been selected by the PC and the ODP portal quality committee [3].
