<div>Final Call for Papers: ISWC-05 OPSW Workshop:</div>
<div><b>"Ontology Patterns for the Semantic Web"</b></div>
<div>http://www.research.ibm.com/people/w/welty/OPSW-05/</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>*****Notice: deadline extended to July 25th</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As interest in the semantic web increases, so, too, has the need
for high-quality and reusable examples of semantic web ontologies. In
this workshop, we will accept submissions on ontology content - that
is, actual ontologies in OWL or RDFS that address an open, and general
problem.</div>
<div> The workshop will be of interest to anyone committed to
using semantic web technology, or becoming part of the semantic web
itself. Many newcomers find the technology daunting, and having a
sound place to start will improve matters considerably. In addition,
the W3C SWBPD WG task force on "Ontology Engineering and
Patterns" will be able to use material submitted to this workshop
as candidates to publish as W3C notes.<br>
This half-day workshop will focus on discussion instead of
presentation. We will accept paper submissions that describe
particular ontologies in RDFS and OWL. These papers will be reviewed
for correctness, quality, and generality/reusibility, in addition to
scholarship and readability. From the accepted submissions, we will
select a smaller number to be presented. Each selected ontology will
be assigned a responder from the workshop participants who will commit
to carefully reviewing the work and providing directed comments and
helping to lead the discussion. We expect roughly 20 minutes of
presentation by the author, with 10 minutes of directed comment by the
responder, and then 30 minutes of open discussion in the workshop.<br>
<br>
Finally, we would like to end the day with a panel on
upper-level ontologies for the semantic web, to ensure we end on a
lively note and have people talking about it during the conference
proper.<br>
</div>
<div> Related conferences are FOIS-2004 (
http://www.formalontology.org/ ) and CorOnt-2004
(http://www.loa-cnr.it/core_onto.html ).</div>
<div> <br>
Submitting: Springer LNCS format, 15 pages. Authors are
encouraged to apply the following paper outline: (a) Problem and
context (b) Existing resources and past work (c) Proposed
formalization.<br>
