[Apologies for cross posting] ===================================== CALL FOR PAPERS OWLED 2010 OWL: Experiences and Directions The Sixth International Workshop June 21-22, San Francisco, California, USA Co-located with 2010 Semantic Technology Conference (SemTech 2010) http://www.semantic-conference.com/ Close to W3C Workshop RDF Next Steps http://www.w3.org/2009/12/rdf-ws/ ===================================== The adoption of the W3C OWL Web Ontology Language in real-world applications continues to grow as the research and tools for OWL mature. The new version OWL 2 -- becoming a W3C recommendation late last year -- has been a positive factor in this direction. As the experience in using OWL in different applications and domains increases, the strengths and weaknesses of the language are discovered, resulting in new research and development that further extends its reach. The OWL: Experiences and Directions (OWLED) workshop series aims at bringing users, implementors and researchers from academia and industry together to describe applications of OWL, to share experience, and to discuss extensions to the language for satisfying application requirements. The workshop will allow the OWL community to set an an agenda for research and deployment in order to incorporate OWL-based technologies into new applications. This year's OWLED workshop will be co-located with the 2010 Semantic Technology Conference (SemTech) that will be held in San Francisco, California on June 21-22. The W3C Workshop on RDF Next Steps will be held near-by in Stanford, CA on June 26-27. Tutorials about OWL 2 and related technologies may be organized for the larger SemTech community; contact the chairs if you're interested. As usual, the OWLED workshop will try to encourage participants to work together and will give space for discussions on various topics to be decided and published at some point in the future. There will also be formal presentation of submissions to the workshop. More information on the workshop is forthcoming. For more information or to offer sponsorship, please send us a note at owled2010@easychair.org.
