I'm writing to let everyone know that full proceedings of our Thursday
29-July-2010 Ontolog Forum session entitled "OWL 2: The Next
Generation" is now online. (01)
This talk on the recently adopted OWL 2 standard was presented by
Professor Ian Horrocks (University of Oxford), co-chair of the W3C OWL
2 Working Group. The session was very well attended. We would want to
express our deepest appreciations to Professor Horrocks for the
excellent talk; and also thank everyone who was there at the session
for the enthusiastic discussion during the second part of that
session. (02)
It was unfortunate that we experienced some technical glitches with
the conference bridge, resulting in a very small portion of the
session (the moderator's voice, and the final two Q&A exchanges, in
particular) never made it into the audio recording. Apart from that,
the archives are essentially intact. The full proceedings - including
agenda, abstract, slides, audio recording and the transcript of the
live chat session - are now accessible from the session page on the
OntologWiki at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_07_29 (03)
As most of your already know, Professor Horrocks will be chairing the
second OWL 2 session next Thursday, 5-Aug-2010. This will be a panel
session entitled: "OWL 2: Tools and Applications." Researchers and
developers from University of Manchester, Stanford Center for
Biomedical Informatics Research, Karlsruhe Institute of technology,
Clarke & Parsia, OASIS ICOM TC (represented by members from Oracle &
DERI) will be presenting and discussing their work. ... Kindly refer
to details at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_08_05 (04)
Please register your attendance (rsvp by emailing <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx>
offline) if you haven't already ... this is expected to be another
great session! (05)
Best regards. =ppy (06)

***************************************************** (027)
* "Scalable Ontology-Based Information Systems" - Thu 22 July 2010 -
Ontologies and ontology based systems are becoming increasingly
important in meeting the demand for more powerful and flexible
information systems. Requirements for such systems include the need to
deal with incomplete and semi-structured information, to integrate
information from heterogeneous sources, to employ richer and more
flexible schemas, and for query answers to reflect both knowledge and
data. Provision of such enhanced capabilities must, however, be in
addition to, and not instead of, the well-established features of
existing database systems, in particular their robust scalability.
Achieving this is, of course, extremely challenging. In his
22-Jul-2010 invited talk, Professor Ian Horrocks (University of
Oxford) will present some recent research efforts that tackle this
problem, including investigations of tractable fragments, new
algorithmic techniques, new optimisations and the exploitation of
relational database technology. ... See details (agenda, dial-in
information, etc.) on the session page at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_07_22 (028)
* "OWL 2: The Next Generation" - Thu 29 July 2010 - This is the first
of two back-to-back sessions devoted to the "newly" adopted OWL 2
standard. In this session, Professor IanHorrocks (co-chair of the W3C
OWL 2 Working Group) will focus on telling us what this Web Ontology
Language (OWL) standard, adopted less than a year ago (27 Oct 2009 to
be exact), is all about. Professor Horrocks will start by providing
some background on OWL, then explains what is new in OWL 2. He will go
on to explain how each of the three OWL 2 Profiles (OWL 2 EL, OWL 2 QL
& OWL 2 RL) are defined, and what they are best suited for.
Participants are welcome to come find out or discuss other aspects of
OWL and OWL 2. We will have ample time for an open Q & A and general
discussion after Professor Horrock's presentation on the OWL 2
standard. ... Please refer to details on the session page at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_07_29 ...
RSVP now! (029)
* "OWL 2: Tools and Applications" - Thu 5 August 2010 - This is the
second of our two back-to-back sessions devoted to OWL 2. Our session
chiar, Professor Ian Horrocks has brought together an expert panel of
OWL 2 researchers and developers to show us some of the
state-of-the-art in OWL 2 tools and applications. Again, we will have
about ample time for open discussion after all the panel briefings.
The panelists and their presentations will include Mr. Matthew
Horridge (Manchester) on "The OWL API;" Dr. Andreas Harth (Karlsruhe)
on "The NeOn Toolkit;" Dr. Timothy Redmond and Dr. Tania Tudorache on
"Protege 4;" Dr. Evren Sirin on "Pellet;" and, Dr. Zhe (Alan) Wu, Dr.
Eric S. Chan, Ms. Deirdre Lee and Ms. Laura Dragan on "Application of
ICOM with Oracle Database 11g Semantic Technologies." ... Please refer
to details on the session page at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_08_05 (030)
These sessions are delivered as augmented conference calls (webinars).
Like all Ontolog virtual events, they are open and free of charge.
Anyone who is interested, or (better still) who may have something to
contribute, is welcome. Please refer to event details on the session
page, to which the hyperlink is given above, where you will find the
session agenda, conference call dial-in, slides and other pertinent

may also find these sessions to be of interest. (031)
