Papers should be prepared in PDF format and made available on the Web. an email containing the URL of the paper should be send (no later than March 13th) by email to: ods2003@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de If you do not have the possibility to put your paper on the web contact us at the same mail address. Important Dates and Deadlines Deadline for the submission of papers: Month day, year. March 7th, 2003 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 21st, 2003 Deadline for the receipt of camera-ready papers: May 23rd, 2003. The main purpose of this workshop is two-fold: 1. identify and discuss these new challenges as well as ways towards solutions in terms of stable infrastructure, advanced methods and professional tools. 2. discuss unconventional new ideas to cope with the new challenges that arise in distributed and weakly structured environments The workshop should be seen as an opportunity for comparing and discussing traditional and new methods for capturing, describing and using semantics descriptions of certain domains and to try to bridge gaps between the two where-ever necessary. Fundamental Issues One part of the workshop will be devoted to fundamental issues of ontological research.As such it will not be devoted to a specific application area, but will rather address more fundamental questions. The topics of interests include but are not limited to the ones listed below: - Ontology and Infrastructure - Methods and Algorithms - Tools and Systems Advanced Issues The second part of the workshop is devoted to less well explored topics that have come into focus recently as a response to the new problems we face when trying to use ontologies in a heterogeneous distributed environments. These environments include the use of ontologies in peer-to-peer and multi-agent systems as well as the semantic web. A couple of additional questions arise with respect to these environments. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Ontology Evolution - Ontology Coordination - Ontologies + Agent Systems Beyond contributions to the mentioned topics we strongly encourage work that tries to bridge the gap between traditional methods and techniques of building, and using ontologies and new approaches that have been developed in response of new challenges.
