Deadline for submissions: 19th February, 2016
Deadline for notifications: 4th March, 2016
Workshop day: 14th April, 2016
The UK Ontology Network is a meeting now in its fifth year. Its aim is to enable the sharing of knowledge about ontologies, vocabularies and any other mechanisms for organising, searching and sharing of knowledge.
We aim to encourage participation from many different sectors: academic, public and private. Therefore, we have a light-weight submission process, and do not ask for formal publications. The meeting itself is friendly and informal, with plenty of opportunities for networking.
Confirmed speakers:

•      Miriam Dowle - The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council

•      Dan Gordon - Great North Museum: Hancock
This year, the meeting will be hosted by Newcastle University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
We invite contributions in all the relevant domains including, but not limited to:

•      Geographic Information

•      Media

•      Classifications

•      Semantic Technology

•      Data Integration

•      Health and Biology
We invite short abstracts for talks and demos. The abstracts should be around 300 words. The main review criteria are the relevance and balance across the topics of interest to the UKON community. Please submit using the following link:

In addition, if you want to display a poster during the poster session, please get in touch with the local organisers.
Although this is a UK-centric network, we encourage participation from those in Europe and across the world.
A small registration fee (£30) will be charged to cover catering.

Best wishes
