Call for Papers
   4th Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (WOP2013)


http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2013

October 21st or 22nd, 2013
Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour, Australia

*****************************************************************************************************

Submission deadline - July 12, 2013 (11:59pm Hawaii time)
*****************************************************************************************************


This workshop provides an arena for proposing and discussing ontology
and semantic web patterns,
solutions to relevant problems of research and practice in the Semantic
Web.
The aim is to broaden the pattern community that will develop its own
"language" for discussing and describing ontology and semantic web
patterns.
The workshop will be held in conjunction with ISWC2013 and will be a
half-day event.

---- Research papers -----

The main aim of the workshop is to discuss and collect solutions to
recurrent problems that matter to researchers and practitioners of the
Semantic Web field, and that impact on design and engineering of
ontologies, linked data, knowledge extraction, and other semantic web
applications. Original research papers are invited to consider the
following (non exhaustive) list of topics:

Ontology Design Patterns (ODP)
- foundations of ODP
- automatic extraction of ODP
- ODP-based ontologies
- domain specific ODP and application use cases
- anti-Patterns or pitfalls in ontology modeling
- foundational ODP
- ODP and their relations with standards
- analysis of ODP usage
- evaluation of ODP (methods, benchmarks)
- languages for representing ODP
- ODP as context for reasoning

Semantic Web patterns
- Patterns in semantic wikis, blogs, social networks
- Linked data patterns and their relation to ODP
- NLP patterns and linguistic frames and their relation to ODP and
linked data
- Reasoning patterns
- Data and graph mining patterns and their relation to ODP and linked data
- navigation/browsing patterns and their relation to ODP and linked data
- Reengineering patterns for conceptual models, folksonomies, lexicons,
thesauri

Tools, methods and applications
- pattern-based knowledge and ontology engineering
- architectural patterns for semantic web applications
- ODP and linked data visualization
- pattern-based ontology and linked data learning
- N-ary fact extraction and representation


---- Submissions ----

We invite the submission of original research results related to the
focus areas of the workshop. Research papers (maximum 12 pages LNCS
style) should present mature work and document established results, or
be short papers presenting proposed research directions and novel ideas
(maximum 4 pages LNCS style).

Submission instructions at
http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2013/Submission

---- Review process and publication ----

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers, final
accept/reject decisions are made by the chairs based on these reviews.
Notification of acceptance will be sent out by August 9th. Acceptance is
conditional, meaning that only accepted papers that perform the changes
requested by the reviewers (will be checked carefully by the chairs) and
submit their camera ready version by August 31st, and where at least one
author registers for the workshop, will be included in the proceedings
and in the workshop program. Please note that ISWC usually do NOT allow
"workshop-only" registrations, i.e. registering for the workshop will
therefore mean to register for the main conference + WOP.

Accepted research papers and pattern descriptions will be published
online as CEUR-Workshop Proceedings.

---- Important Dates (2013, 11:59 Hawaii time) ----

* Submission deadline (research papers and patterns) - July 12th
* Notification of acceptance (research papers and patterns) - August 9th
* Camera ready deadline (research papers and pattern abstracts) - August
31st
* Workshop date - October 21st or 22nd
