[ontolog-forum] Ontologies Come of Age workshop proceedings

[Alexander Garcia Castro <alexgarciac@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all, the Ontologies Come of Age workshop proceedings have been published; they are available at:  http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-809

The maturity of ontologies as components of production software as well as the promise of the Semantic

Web were presented in 2001, “The Semantic Web: Why, What, and How” (Fensel, Hendler, Lieberman,

Wahister, 2001). However, ever since this book was published we have seen several authors addressing

the same problem, that of making the case for ontologies and the Semantic Web (SW); for instance, the

Ontology Summit had “Making the case for Ontologies” as their 2011 theme. In fairness, the Semantic

Web has been an elusive concept; although, it has promised to fundamentally change our experience of

the Web and we have all enjoyed the uprising of Linked Data, very little has changed for the end-user and

we have not yet seen new levels of understanding emerging from the web of data. In spite of

improvements in the generation, distribution, accessibility and retrieval of information, technology has not

fundamentally changed our experience of the Web; more broadly speaking, our relation with information.
