3rd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (<span>ORE</span> <span>2014</span>)<br> Collocated with the Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL)<br> July 13, <span>2014</span> - Vienna, Austria<br>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><br>OBJECTIVES<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>The
goal of this workshop is to bring together both the DEVELOPERS and
END-USERS of reasoners for (subsets of) OWL, including systems focusing
on both intensional (ontology) and extensional (data) query answering.
The workshop will give developers a perfect opportunity to promote their
systems.<br>
<br><br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>We invite submission of papers describing:<br><br> * System descriptions describing the architecture, implementation, and expected performance of the reasoner.<br>
<br> * Reasoner implementation details, usage reports, implementation "tips and tricks".<br><br> * Challenging ontologies and/or benchmark proposals for OWL reasoners.<br><br>Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (<a href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html" target="_blank">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a>) and should not be longer than 6 pages (excluding references).<br>
<br>Submissions must be in PDF through the EasyChair conference system: <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2014" target="_blank">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2014</a>.<br><br>All
submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. Selected
papers will be presented during the workshop and published as a volume
of CEUR workshop proceedings (<a href="http://ceur-ws.org/" target="_blank">http://ceur-ws.org/</a>).<br>
<br><br><br>CALL FOR SYSTEMS AND ONTOLOGIES(COMPETITION)<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>In addition to the workshop we will run an OWL Reasoner Competition, which is part of the 1st FLoC Olympic Games (<a href="http://vsl2014.at/olympics/" target="_blank">http://vsl2014.at/olympics/</a>).
The FLoC Olympic Games are intended as a new FLoC tradition and Games
will bring together a multitude of established solver competitions by
different research communities. The winners in the competition
categories will be awarded Kurt Goedel medals at the FLoC Olympic Games
award ceremonies.<br>
<br>We invite both reasoner developers and developers of challenging
ontologies to submit their systems/ontologies for participation in the
OWL reasoner competition. The preliminary outline for the competition is
as follows:<br>
<br> * The test sets will include OWL ontologies from all OWL 2
profiles and of varying sizes, from a large corpus of ontologies
(including ontologies from the NCBO BioPortal, a web crawl, and
user-submitted ontologies).<br>
* The tested tasks will include consistency checking, classification, and realisation. <br>
* Developers will have to submit an executable wrapper script that
triggers the reasoning system (see <span>ORE</span> <span>2014</span> Specification), and the
system itself to the competition organizers, who will then carry out the
benchmarks.<br>
<br>Further instructions and a testing framework is available at: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/andreas-steigmiller/ore-2014-testing-framework" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/andreas-steigmiller/<span>ore</span>-<span>2014</span>-testing-framework</a> <br>
Please note: The deadline for all system submissions is 16th May <span>2014</span>.<br><br>In
addition to the system submissions, both reasoner and ontology
developers are invited to submit a short paper describing their
system/ontology. See the above instructions for paper submissions.<br>
