                             CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                     2nd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2013)
                        Collocated with DL 2013 Workshop

OBJECTIVES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal of this workshop is to bring together both the DEVELOPERS and
END-USERS of reasoners for (subsets of) OWL, including systems focusing on
both intensional (ontology) and extensional (data) query answering. The
workshop will give developers a perfect opportunity to promote their
systems and get feedback from end-users and real uses-cases.



REGISTRATION AND ATTENDING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Registration for the Description Logic workshop is now open, and the same
registration system is used to register for the OWL Reasoner Evaluation
workshop. To register for ORE (or both DL and ORE):

We're looking forward to seeing you in Ulm!



ORE COMPETITION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The call for systems and challenging ontologies is still open: June 27th,
2013

We will use our benchmarking framework (
https://bitbucket.org/spbail/ore-benchmark/overview) to measure the
reasoner performance on various tasks and test sets.

Most of the measurements will be performed before the ORE workshop day.

There will also be a live competition during the DL workshop, and the
trophy-giving will take place during the DL social dinner on the 24th July.

More information about the competition can be found here:
