The 5th International Workshop on
Ontology Content
Special tracks on:
Towards Web 3.0 | e-Governance
OnToContent 2010
Oct 25 - 29, 2010 Crete
Call for Papers
Approaching to the twentieth anniversary,
the WWW today is a mature environment supporting the development of
distributed applications without imposing any particular limitation.
Technologies, methodologies and standards converge toward full
operational capabilities by being service oriented, with a focus on
statelessness, low coupled, modular, and semantic interoperable.
In this context the issues related to the
quality of data and process representation are crucial, as it is
required to deal with data that are valuable, expressive, shareable e
and manipulable at the same time. In this context the role of good
quality ontology (i.e. good quality conceptualizations, encoded in
portable and extensible format) acquires more and more relevance.
This workshop aims to focus on content
issues, such as methodologies and tools concerned with modeling good
ontologies, approaches to ontology content evaluation, quality
measures, ontology content management (e.g. metadata, libraries, and
registration), ontology documentation, etc. The workshop also aims to
give a special attention to ontology content issues in: Business, human
resources and employment, healthcare and life sciences, and Web 3.0. We
welcome papers and (past/planned) project descriptions that discuss
ontology aspects, particularly:
Research papers presenting theoretical
solutions, but with a clear illustration on how these solutions can be
applied in industry.
Position papers presenting opinions on
some aspect of ontology practice, or describing work that is still in
progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant attention.
Business experience and case studies
specifying requirements, challenges, or opportunities of modeling and
applying ontologies in industry.
