Apologies for cross-posting. Final Call for Papers: ISWC-05 OPSW Workshop: "Ontology Patterns for the Semantic Web" http://www.research.ibm.com/people/w/welty/OPSW-05/ *****Notice: deadline extended to July 25th As interest in the semantic web increases, so, too, has the need for high-quality and reusable examples of semantic web ontologies. In this workshop, we will accept submissions on ontology content - that is, actual ontologies in OWL or RDFS that address an open, and general problem. The workshop will be of interest to anyone committed to using semantic web technology, or becoming part of the semantic web itself. Many newcomers find the technology daunting, and having a sound place to start will improve matters considerably. In addition, the W3C SWBPD WG task force on "Ontology Engineering and Patterns" will be able to use material submitted to this workshop as candidates to publish as W3C notes. This half-day workshop will focus on discussion instead of presentation. We will accept paper submissions that describe particular ontologies in RDFS and OWL. These papers will be reviewed for correctness, quality, and generality/reusibility, in addition to scholarship and readability. From the accepted submissions, we will select a smaller number to be presented. Each selected ontology will be assigned a responder from the workshop participants who will commit to carefully reviewing the work and providing directed comments and helping to lead the discussion. We expect roughly 20 minutes of presentation by the author, with 10 minutes of directed comment by the responder, and then 30 minutes of open discussion in the workshop. Finally, we would like to end the day with a panel on upper-level ontologies for the semantic web, to ensure we end on a lively note and have people talking about it during the conference proper. Related conferences are FOIS-2004 ( http://www.formalontology.org/ ) and CorOnt-2004 (http://www.loa-cnr.it/core_onto.html ). Submitting: Springer LNCS format, 15 pages. Authors are encouraged to apply the following paper outline: (a) Problem and context (b) Existing resources and past work (c) Proposed formalization. _________________________________ ---->>> Deadline: July 25th, 2005 WKS date: November 7th, 2005, afternoon _________________________________ Organizers: Chris Welty IBM Research welty@us.ibm.com http://www.research.ibm.com/people/w/welty/ Aldo Gangemi LOA-CNR aldo.gangemi@istc.cnr.it http://www.loa-cnr.it/gangemi.html Program Committee: Pat Hayes, IHMC Alan Rector, U.
