********************************************************************* Call for Papers: Ontologies Onto-2001 KI-2001 Workshop September 17, 2001, Wien, Austria
http://onto2001.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de *********************************************************************
Ontologies serve as a means for establishing a conceptually concise basis for communicating knowledge for many purposes. They are a popular research topic in Artificial Intelligence, e.g. knowledge engineering, natural language processing, intelligent information integration and multi-agent systems. Recently, ontologies are also applied outside the AI world, e.g. in the World Wide Web community that try to represent machine-processable data on the web using ontologies and formal metadata.
For the workshop we intend to gather a diverse range of participants interested in development and application of ontologies:
* Theoretical Issues Kinds of ontology: top-level ontologies, domain ontologies, task ontologies, application ontologies Interaction between ontology and the lexicon (natural language)
Cognitive foundations of ontologies, cross-cultural ontologies * Development and Engineering of Ontologies: Machine Learning for building domain ontologies: Ontology Learning Foundations for Cooperative & Multi-User Ontology Engineering Interaction between Knowledge Representation & Ontology Engineering * Application of Ontologies Knowledge Engineering Semantic Web Ontologies and Semi-structured Data Ontology-based Information Systems: Geographic, Legal and Business Information Systems Ontologies & Machine Learning / Knowledge Discovery E-Business * Relationship between research in ontology with similar research areas, e.g. formal concept analysis and description logics
We invite contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in topics related to the purpose of the workshop. Persons interested in participating should submit either a technical paper (less than 6000 words) or a position paper (less than 1500 words) addressing new research issues. In addition, we solicit proposals for panel discussions. Submit before May 31, 2001 in electronic form (strongly preferred!) in postscript or pdf in the Springer style format to: gst@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de.
Alternatively, printed copies can be sent to : Gerd Stumme Institute AIFB University of Karlsruhe 76128 Karlsruhe, Germany
People who want to attend the workshop have to be registered to the main conference KI-2001 (http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/KI2001/)
Important Dates Deadline for paper submission: May 31, 2001 Notification of acceptance: July 2, 2001 Deadline final contributions: August 17, 2001
