3rd Workshop on Ontology Patterns (WOP2012)
http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2012
November 11 or 12th, 2012
Collocated with ISWC2012 - Boston (US)
********************************************************************************
Submission deadline - July 31st, 2012 (11:59pm Hawaii time)
********************************************************************************
This workshop provides an arena for proposing and discussing
ontology patterns,
solutions to relevant problems of research and practice in the
Semantic Web.
The aim is to broaden the pattern community that will develop its
own “language”
for discussing and describing ontology patterns.
The workshop will be held in conjunction with ISWC2012 on November
11 or 12th,
2012. It will be a half-day workshop consisting of two parts;
papers and pattern
posters.
---- Research and Position Paper Topics -----
The main aim of the workshop is to discuss and collect solutions
to recurrent
problems, i.e. ontology patterns, that matter to researchers and
practitioners
of the Semantic Web field, and that impact on ontology design and
engineering.
Original research papers and position papers are invited to
consider the
following (non exhaustive) list of topics:
* Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) and pattern-based ontology
design
* ODPs for specific knowledge domains e.g. multimedia, fishery and
agriculture, user profiling, business modeling, etc.
* Anti-patterns and their relations to ODPs
* ODPs for interacting with data
* ODPs for expressing relevance of data in context
* Collaborative ontology design and collaboration patterns in
ontology design and engineering
* Correspondence patterns for ontology matching and integration
* Lexico-syntactic patterns
* Reasoning patterns (workflows made of reasoning steps for
addressing specific goals)
* Processes and services - process patterns
* Re-engineering patterns for conceptual models, folksonomies,
lexicons, thesauri
* Problem solving methods and patterns
* Ontology Design Patterns and Linked Data
* Ontology Patterns and Microformats
* Patterns for using different vocabularies together e.g. FOAF,
SIOC, DC, etc.
* Web semantics from a pattern perspective
* Good practices of ontology design
* Good practices for Linked Data and related applications
* Good practices for hybridization of semantic web and NLP
techniques
* Good Practices and Patterns of semantic social networks,
semantic wikis, semantic blogs
* Good Practices of Semantic Web in general
* Software patterns for Semantic Web applications
* Interaction patterns and the Semantic Web
* Pattern-based methodologies for Semantic Web ontologies and
software engineering
* Application Profiles
* Domain specific applications based on patterns and
success-stories
* Pattern-based ontologies
* Tools support for pattern-based knowledge engineering
* Pattern-based ontology evaluation and selection
* Automatic ontology construction (ontology learning) based on
patterns
* Contextual reasoning and patterns as context
* Knowledge patterns and knowledge re-engineering based on
patterns
* Pattern-based information extraction
* Quality evaluation of patterns
* Benefits of ontology patterns and knowledge patterns
