[Penaloza Nyssen Rafael]

First Call for Papers

DEW at JOWO 2017: Debugging and Evaluation Workshop - DEW  http://iaoa.org/jowo/dew2017

To be held as part of the 3rd Joint Ontology Workshops, September 21-23, 2017, Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
(see http://iaoa.org/jowo/JOWO-2017/ for the full JOWO program)

The ontology Debugging and Evaluation Workshop (DEW) invites submission of original papers for potential inclusion in DEW 2017. 

DEW aims to advance ontology evaluation and the detection, understanding, and correction of errors in ontologies and ontological knowledge bases.

Potential topics include methods, tools, and challenges in ontology debugging and evaluation, as well as quality criteria, metrics, experimental results, and lessons learned. 

Submissions may range in emphasis, focusing more on experience or on theory, for example. A diversity of perspectives is also hoped for, including those of ontology (re)users, ontology developers, and those responsible for quality assurance of ontologies incorporated into larger systems.
