Mini Track on Semantic Web and Information Systems
AMCIS - 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems
San Francisco, CA, August 6-9, 2009

Purpose In the past few years, the Semantic Web communities have brought to maturity a comprehensive set of foundational technology components, both at the conceptual level and in the form of prototypes and software. This includes, among other assets, ontology engineering methodologies, standardized ontology languages, ontology engineering tools, and other infrastructure like APIs, repositories, and scalable reasoners, plus a plethora of work for making the so-called Deep Web and computational functionality in the form of Web 2.0 services accessible at a semantic level. Indeed, ontologies, understood as consensual models of a domain of discourse with some degree of formal semantics, are a research topic of growing interest in several research communities; their potential contribution to core problems of Information Systems as a discipline is widely acknowledged. However, Semantic Web technology is only recently being picked up by Information Systems researchers and practitioners, despite the fact that many problems of data and process management in enterprises and value chains can be traced back to representational mismatches. On the other hand, we can observe that the Semantic Web research communities in Computer Science have not yet addresses the economic dimensions and the conceptual complexity of real-world integration challenges.
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the following research communities and practitioner groups: Business Process Management, Civil Engineering, Conceptual Modeling, Data and Knowledge Engineering, E-commerce and E-business, E- government, Knowledge Management, Management Information Systems, Ontologies in Computer Science, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services, Software Engineering, Web 2.0 community. This conference track is intended as a venue for research that transfers the foundational research from the Semantic Web movement into the Information Systems domain, and extends the state of the art in ontology research by explicitly considering the economic dimension.
Suggested Topics We are looking for submissions covering topics including, but not limited to the following: 1. Cost and benefit models for using ontologies in Information Systems; 2. Ontology-based content integration tasks in business and public sector applications, e.g., catalog data integration, spending analysis, corporate search; 3. Semantic business process management; 4. Ontologies in modeling and systems analysis; 5. Semantics-supported Business Intelligence (BI); 6. Ontology support for a. Corporate Knowledge Management, b. Customer Relationship Management (CRM), c. Decision Support Systems, d. E-procurement, e. Enterprise Application Integration, f. Web services matching, g. Human Resources Management, h. Legal Applications, i. Specification and Monitoring of Service-Level Agreements, and j. Supply Chain Management.
