Preliminary Announcement and Preliminary Call for Participation OWL Experiences and Directions Workshop Washington, D.C., U.S.A., 1-2 April 2008 (dates tentative) (This is a preliminary announcement, providing information primarily for those interested in submitting a paper to the workshop. More details on the workshop will be available shortly.) The fourth OWL: Experiences and Directions workshop will again bring users, implementors and researchers together in order to measure the current state of need against the state of the art and to set an agenda for language evolutions that satisfy users. This OWLED workshop will last two days and will be held in the Washington, D.C., area, in the first week of April 2008. The workshop will concentrate on issues related to the development and W3C standardization of OWL 1.1, but other issues related to OWL are also of interest, particularly those related to the task forces set up at OWLED 2007. As an "interim" workshop, the workshop will be more open and unconstrained than recent OWLED workshops. The workshop will have two very different kinds of activities. There will be some formal presentation of some submissions to the workshop. However, the bulk of the workshop will be devoted to self-organizing groups discussing topics related to submissions to the workshop and possibly other topics related to OWL. Making this self-organization work will require effort on the part of the attendees. Workshop attendees should read submissions accepted at the workshop before the workshop starts so that they can contribute to the discussions at the workshop. Attendees should also prepare single "slides" that can be presented during these discussions. Potential attendees who need official invitations to the workshop should submit a short statement of interest (maximum 4 pages, LNCS style, but shorter is better). To allow attendees to make travel plans, submissions of interest submitted early will receive early invitations. There will also be open registration for the workshop. Longer papers (up to 10 pages, LNCS style) can also be submitted to the workshop and space will be reserved for authors of papers. Accepted papers will be made available to attendees before the workshop. Preliminary Deadlines and Schedule: 14 January 2008 Statements of interest for early invitation due 1 February 2008 Early invitations sent out 1 February 2008 Statements of interest for regular invitation due 1 February 2008 Intents to submit formal paper due 15 February 2008 Papers due 15 Feburary 2008 Regular invitations sent out 1 March 2008 Paper acceptances sent out 15 March 2008 Final versions of papers due 1-2 April 2008 OWLED workshop (tentative) Submission details to follow.
