Venue: Kobe, Japan Hashtag: #wop2016 Workshop Website: http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2016 Easychair Submission Page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wop2016 Abstract submission (required): June 24th, 2016 Submission date: June 30th, 2016 ================================================================================================== This is the seventh edition in a series of workshops addressing the topic of ontology and semantic web patterns as best practices, related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. This workshop is a gathering point for the ontology design pattern community for semantic web and linked data. As interest in the Semantic Web increases and technologies for realizing the Semantic Web become more mature, the need for high-quality and reusable Semantic Web ontologies increases as well. To address the quality and reusability issues, different types of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) have emerged, and methods for devising or discovering new ones from heterogeneous knowledge sources are needed. Patterns need to be shared by a community in order to provide a common language, and to stimulate pattern usage and development. Hence, the aim of this workshop is twofold providing an arena for proposing and discussing good practices, patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems etc., and broadening the pattern community that is developing its own “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. For more background on the workshop series, see http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2016 . WOP2016 is planned to be a full-day workshop consisting of two parts: paper presentations and pattern poster presentations. ================================================================================================== Call for Papers - Topics Submission instruction for research papers (including position papers) can be found at http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2016/Submission The main aim of the workshop is to discuss and collect solutions to recurrent problems that matter to researchers and practitioners of the Semantic Web field, and that impact on design and engineering of ontologies, linked data, knowledge extraction, and other semantic web applications. We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop. Research papers (maximum 12 pages LNCS style) should present mature work and document established results, or be short papers presenting proposed research directions, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions (maximum 5 pages LNCS style). This year we particularly welcome papers which evaluate the current practice of ontology modeling. Original research papers and short papers are invited to consider the following (non exhaustive) list of topics: Ontology design patterns (ODPs) and pattern-based ontologies Ontology patterns and their relation with standards Correspondence patterns for ontology matching and integration Knowledge patterns and knowledge reengineering based on patterns Processes and services process patterns Antipatterns and their relations to ODPs Pattern-based ontology design Tools and applications for pattern-based knowledge engineering Pattern-based methods and methodologies for development of semantic applications Ontology pattern extraction Pattern-based information extraction Pattern-based ontology learning Pattern-based ontology evaluation and selection Patterns and Linked data (usage, emerging patterns, pattern-driven data publishing, etc.) Analysis of ontology pattern usage Data mining patterns and Semantic Web design Web semantics from a pattern perspective Reasoning with or using patterns Relation between NLP patterns (either for learning, or procedural) and ontologies/linked data design Usage of patterns in business intelligence and conceptual modeling Patterns in semantic social networks, semantic wikis, semantic blogs ODPs development and use in specific domains including geosciences, life sciences, digital humanities, cultural heritage, e-history, etc. ================================================================================================== Call for Patterns Submission instruction can be found at http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2016/Submission. We invite the submission of research results in the form of ontology design patterns (ODPs). Patterns submitted should have a general relevance to the ontology engineering field, or specific interest within a knowledge domain. Patterns should solve some particular modeling problem, and be of significant interest for discussion at the workshop. Patterns should be original, in the sense that they are the intellectual product of the author(s), however they may still be based on the collective experience of a community. Pattern submissions for the pattern session will be collected: through the ODP portal and by submitting a description of the pattern (pattern description) via EasyChair. Detailed instructions for patterns submission, including how to submit via the ontologydesignpatterns.org portal, are found at the submission page. Note that an account in the ODP portal is needed for submitting patterns; thus, authors should take care to request an account at least one week before their intended submission. Pattern submissions can be made in any type of ODPs. Currently, portal templates for submission are provided for the following types of patterns (see general typology for explanation of the types): Content patterns Structural patterns: logical and architecture patterns. Correspondence patterns: re-engineering and alignment patterns. For other types of patterns, the author is welcome to submit only a pattern description. Submission and Important Dates For details on how to submit to WOP2016 see the submission page. ================================================================================================== Important dates Abstract submission (required): June 24th, 2016 Submission date: June 30th, 2016 Author notifications: July 31st, 2016 Camera-ready papers: August 12th, 2016 Workshops will be held on: 17th or 18th October, 2016 (TBD) Best Poster Award Workshop participants will be able to vote for the best poster, final decision to be made by the chairs. The best poster award takes into account criteria such as the quality of the submission, the relevance and significance of patterns or pattern usages presented, the presentation of the poster during the "lightning talks", and the level of involvement of the author during the revision phase and poster session discussions during the workshop. Proceedings Accepted papers and pattern descriptions will be made available on the workshop's website. We will also publish post-workshop proceedings with (possibly extended) accepted papers, in the IOS Press/AKA book series Studies on the Semantic Web. Copies can be ordered at a special discount of 30%, order requests should be sent to info@aka-verlag.de.
