Apologies for multiple copies due to cross postings. Please, distribute it to interested people and lists. Call for papers Building and Applying Ontologies for the Semantic Web ===================================================== 2nd Building and Applying Ontologies for the Semantic Web – BAOSW’07 December 2007 Guimarães – Portugal held in conjunction with 13th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence http://epia2007.appia.pt/ Ontologies promise a shared and common understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems. Therefore, they have emerged as an important research area since the 1990’s. Ontologies are used for different purposes (natural language processing, e-commerce, e-learning, knowledge management, semantic web, information retrieval, etc) by different research communities (knowledge engineering, database, software engineering, etc). The emergence of the Semantic Web has marked another stage in the evolution of the ontology field. According to Berners-Lee, the Semantic Web is an extension of the current Web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. This cooperation can be achieved by using shared knowledge-components. Therefore ontologies have become a key instrument in developing the Semantic Web. They interweave human understanding of symbols with their machine processability. This workshop addresses the problems of building and applying ontologies in the Semantic Web and other areas listed below, as well as the theoretical and practical challenges arising from these applications. We invite contributions to enhance the state-of-the-art of creating, managing and using ontologies. Topics of Interest: ------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Ontology Engineering: • methodologies • capture • evaluation • management • evolution • learning Ontologies for Information Sharing and Semantic Interoperability • ontology-based information integration • mediators and brokers • agents and ontologies • composition and modularity • combining, merging, mapping and alignment • translating and transforming • ontology language interoperability Ontology Applications • semantic web • knowledge management • natural language processing • e-commerce, e-government, e‑learning and e-science, e-medicine • information retrieval • p2p networks • web services • annotation • Folksonomies • Social Content Systems Workshop format and attendance: --------------------- All submitted papers will be peer reviewed and selected for presentation on the basis of these reviews. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. The schedule assumes a one day workshop. The workshop will consist of the following components: technical presentations of accepted papers and general discussion (some time will be allocated to discuss among the workshop participants about emerging topics). Attendance will be limited to workshop paper authors and a very limited set of members of the community. Workshop attendees are required to register for the main EPIA 2007 conference. For more information, please look up the conference website at http://epia2007.appia.pt/ Submission procedure: --------------------- We encourage the submission of high-quality original work. Papers must be written in English and may have the format in accordance with the guidelines supplied at EPIA 2007. Workshop papers of higher quality will be selected for publication in the main volume of the conference proceedings (Lectures Notes in Artificial Intelligence - LNAI). The remaining accepted papers will be published in local workshop proceedings, in hard-copy and in the web. At least one of the authors of accepted papers has to register for the EPIA 2007, otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. The submission process will be available on the conference site. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two program committee members and/or additional reviewers/referees. Any other questions regarding papers submission may be directed to the contact person. Important dates: --------------------- 28-May-07 - Paper submission 28-Jun-07 - Notification of paper acceptance 23-Jul-07 - Camera-ready paper submission 03-Dec-07 - Conference begins Program Committee: --------------------- TO BE ANNOUNCED Organizing Committee: --------------------- H. Sofia Pinto(INESC-ID/IST) <sofia@algos.inesc-id.pt> Andreia Malucelli (PUCPR/LIACC) <malu@ppgia.pucpr.br> Fred Freitas (UFPE) <fred@cin.ufpe.br> Philipp Cimiano <cimiano@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Workshop Venue --------------------- EPIA 2007 will be held in the city of Guimarães, which is associated to the foundation of the Portuguese nationality and identity. Guimarães is known as “the Cradle of the Portuguese Nation”. It is a historical and cultural reference of national residents and visitors. The conference will be hosted by the Department of Information Systems of the University of Minho. Details on registration and accommodation will be available on the conference site. __________________________________________________ Fale com seus amigos de graça com o novo Yahoo!
