[CfP] Call for Participation: ORE 2014, the 3rd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (with VSL 2014)

[Apologies for cross-posting]

                             CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                     3rd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2014)
                    Collocated with the Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL)
                 July 13, 2014 - Vienna, Austria
                       http://vsl2014.at/pages/ORE-index.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 workshop is open: http://vsl2014.at/registration/
Venue information can also be found at the same page.

The registration fees for the ORE workshop on the 13th of July are:  100
EUR Early / 120 EUR Late / 130 EUR On-Site. There is an optional extra
charge of 25 EUR for the USB proceedings.
Registration fees ONLY include coffee breaks.



ORE PROGRAM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had some great submissions to ORE 2014 covering a broad range of OWL
reasoning related topics – reasoner system descriptions, challenging
ontologies, performance evaluations and OWL reasoners on mobile devices.

We are very pleased to announce that we accepted 11 papers to be presented
at this year's workshop. Additionally, 11 systems were submitted to the
competition.
Furthermore, we have also received several user-submitted ontologies (THE
CALL FOR ONTOLOGIES IS STILL OPEN!!)

ORE session at DL (Thursday, July 18)
--------------------------------------
- ORE "Live" Reasoner Competition



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

In addition to the "competition session" during ORE workshop, there will
also be a "live competition" during the DL workshop.

The ORE 2014 data set contains a wide range of ontologies from the web,
obtained through a standard web crawl and the Google Custom Search API, and
a snapshot from the well known BioPortal repository. Some user submitted
ontologies spice up the corpus with particularly relevant and difficult
test cases. The ontologies in the test set are binned by profiles to enable
the participation of reasoners specialised on the EL and QL profiles of
OWL.

Reasoners will be evaluated with three tasks: Consistency, Classification
and Realisation (new this year).

The ontologies, the framework, and most of the reasoners will be available
after the competition in order to reproduce and verify the results.
Moreover, the competition framework will be open source and, enabled by the
development over the last years and further improvements for coming
competitions, it will eventually serve as a platform for reasoner
developers to easily check, improve, and evaluate their systems.
