>Introduction
>------------
>BIS is an international conference with a long history. Although it was
>devoted
>to many research topics related to business information systems, one
>important
>aspect has not been discussed yet - ontologies. According to the
>commonly
>accepted definition, ontology is a formal, explicit specification of
>a shared
>conceptualization. A special session organized within forthcoming BIS
>2003 is to
>fill this gap.
>Ontologies are developed to provide a machine-processable
>semantics of
>information that is exchanged between different agents, both
>humans and
>software. They started in the Philosophy, evolved in Artificial
>Intelligence but
>nowadays other research communities adopt them very quickly.
>Ontologies face
>strong expectations, especially in the business area: Knowledge
>Management and
>Electronic Commerce. Ontologies are heavily exploited by Semantic Web -
>a vision
>to link data on the Web in a way that it can be used by machines not
>just for
>display purposes, but for automation, integration and reuse of
>data across
>various applications.
>There are a lot of very interesting and promising projects that make
>use of
>ontologies. Many different standards emerge. Many groups develop own
>tools to
>facilitate use of languages. No one is able to track all activities.
>Often we
>are unsure, which proposal will become a standard, which solution is
>most widely
>used. It will be advantageous to compare different solutions,
>proposals, tools,
>services.
>The goal of this special session is to share experiences about
>aforementioned
>systems, exchange ideas about improvements of existing standards and
>tools and
>creation of new systems, principles and applications. Its expected
>outcome is a
>common vision about the future directions.
>This special session is dedicated to groups who contribute to the
>development of
>ontologies that can be used in Business Information Systems. We are
>especially
>looking for innovative applications taking advantage of the ontologies.
>
>Topics of Interest
>------------------
>OntoBIS 2003 invites submissions related to all aspects of the
>ontologies.
>Papers MUST clearly demonstrate relevance to the usage of ontologies in
>Business
>Information Systems. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
>
>* Business Specific Ontologies
>* Ontologies for Data Warehousing, Electronic Commerce, Workflow, ERP,
>CRM,
> etc.
>* Ontologies Supporting E-Business
>* Ontologies for Enterprise Integration
>* Metadata and Ontologies
>* Economic Models, Financial Justification of Ontologies
>* Semantic Web for Decision Support
>* Information Access, Searching the Semantic Web
>* Semantic Web-enabled Web Services
>* Agent Communication and Applications in the Semantic Web
>* Visual modeling of Ontologies for BIS
>* Electronic Trading Systems and Marketplaces
>* Ontology Languages: e.g. Ontolingua, RDF, XOL, OIL, DAML-S, DAML+OIL
>* Web Services Integration Standards (description, discovery and
> interoperation)
>* Data/Information/Knowledge Integration by Use of Ontologies
>* Use of Foundational Ontologies in BIS
>
>The successful papers should focus on complex solutions
>rather than
>technological aspects.
>
>Submission
>----------
>Papers to be considered for regular conference presentation and
>proceedings
>should be submitted via the regular conference submission process.
>Detailed
>instructions, especially formatting, will be published on conference
>Web page
>(see http://bis2003.info). Questions on content should be directed to:
>Dr. Krzysztof Wecel, K.Wecel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
>
>A. Research papers
>Papers should not exceed 5000 words. They should describe original
>research
>(practical or theoretical). Theoretical papers should provide an
>overview of
>area of research closely related to ontologies in BIS. Practical
>papers can
>describe an implemented tool or service that contributes to the ontologies.
>
>B. Work in progress
>Papers should not exceed 2500 words. They may present some aspects
>related to
>ontologies and describe work that it is still in progress but its
>results may be
>interesting for a broader audience.
