******************************************************* DEADLINE EXTENSION TO 11 MARCH, 2007 ******************************************************* ================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS OWLED 2007 OWL: Experiences and Directions http://owled2007.iut-velizy.uvsq.fr/ Third International Workshop Innsbruck, Austria 6-7 June 2007 Submissions due **11 March, 2007 NEW DEADLINE** Online submission at http://www.easychair.org/OWLED2007/ ================================================== The W3C OWL Web Ontology Language has been a W3C recommendation since 2004. The OWL: Experiences and Direction (OWLED) workshop series is a forum for practitioners in industry and academia, tool developers, and others interested in OWL to describe real and potential applications, to share experience, and to discuss requirements for language extensions/modifications. At OWLED 2006 it was agreed to move forward with a member submission of the OWL 1.1 proposal which extends OWL DL in ways that have been requested by users, that have effective reasoning algorithms, and that developers of OWL reasoning systems are willing to support. The 3rd OWL: Experiences and Directions workshop (OWLED 2007) 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. OWLED 2007 shall in particular present industrial efforts and experiences with OWL. It shall further the interaction between industry, theoreticians and tool builders, help consolidate OWL 1.1, clarify the relationships between OWL and rules and initiate the specification of OWL 2.0. Building on the success of the 2005 OWLED and the 2006 OWLED workshops, the 2007 OWLED workshop will again be immediately after one of the main Semantic Web conferences, namely the ESWC conference, and is colocated with the First International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems, RR2007. Topics ------------- OWLED 2007 welcomes the submission of papers about all aspects of OWL and extensions, application, theory, method, tool, including but not limited to the following topics: - All applications of OWL - Application-driven requirements for OWL - Implementation techniques for OWL and related languages - Performance and scalability issues - Bridges between knowledge engineering and OWL - Non-standard inference services, including explanations, static verification, modularity - Enriching ontologies with rules - Query answering and data integration - Tools for OWL including: editors, visualisation tools, parsers and syntax checkers, versioning frameworks - Extensions to OWL including: extended datatype constructors, property constructors, class constructors keys, constraints, rules probabilistic and fuzzy extensions, non-monotonic extensions, temporal and spatial extensions *********************************************************** Submissions of papers on industrial efforts, experiences reports, system descriptions, position papers (especially about new features or issues with OWL), and survey papers about theory or tools (for example comparing different ways of combining rules with OWL) are strongly encouraged. We particularly welcome: - Descriptions of industry system or industrial applications - Experience reports with OWL or OWL 1.1 (or any fragment or extension) Domain or application ontologies (e-Science, e-Health, e-Culture, e-Learning etc.) - Industry requirements - Life Sciences or other community requirements - Implementation issues with OWL or OWL 1.1 - Demos with OWL or OWL 1.1 - Reasoning with OWL and rules in practical applications - Requirements for a potential OWL 2.0 revision *********************************************************** Workshop Format ------------------------------ The goal of the workshop will be to maximise discussion. The technical sessions will therefore consist of short presentations of selected papers (grouped by topic area) followed by directed discussion. As in prior years, there will be session(s) devoted to standardization efforts, to some issues deferred from 2006 (alternative syntaxes, constraints, SPARQL and OWL, rules and OWL), and a report, with discussion, on the progress of the OWL 1.1 W3C submission and working group. Submissions ---------------- Submissions can be either long or short papers. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages. Short submissions no longer than 4 pages are welcome. Interested parties may send the organizers a one page description of their demo. All submissions must be received before 11 March 2007. All papers must be submitted online using the submission website http://www.easychair.org/OWLED2007/ Submissions must be in PDF, and will not be accepted in any other format. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that their submission displays and prints correctly on common PDF viewers. Submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For details see http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.h tml. Proceedings ------------- All accepted submissions and demo descriptions will be made available from the workshop web site; these may be updated with final versions after the reviewing process. Final versions of accepted papers will be published on CEUR-WS. Presentation materials from the workshop will also be placed on the web site. All submissions will be reviewed by the workshop committee. Decisions on the acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors no later than 14 April, 2007.
