-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2018 Mini-track on "Ontologies & Information Systems" Datum: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 08:17:48 +0200 Von: AJ_L Gerber gerber.ajl@gmail.com An: AISWorld@lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): aurona.gerber@up.ac.za
Given the adoption trend of computational ontologies since the standardization of OWL by the W3C, we want to provide a platform for research on ontologies and information systems in this SIGODIS mini-track.
An ontology in information systems is described as an artefact that captures domain knowledge using a standardised, computerized language. Within modern complex information systems, ontologies are often particularly relevant because of the coherent representation of the semantics and meaning of an application domain or similar knowledge in a computer readable format. The adoption of ontologies is driven by system requirements such as the capturing of contextual knowledge, the ability to draw inferences and reason from a knowledge base, reusability of knowledge, integration of heterogeneous systems, interoperability and internationalization, as well as semantic or reasoning support for disruptive technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and robotics. This mini-track encourages submission of original research papers on any aspect of ontologies and information systems, both theoretical and application, within diverse domains such as information systems development, conceptual modelling, knowledge management, knowledge engineering, information sciences and semantic technologies including languages such as RDF(s) and OWL, and the associated technologies (such as querying, reasoning and reasoners).
Suggested topics include any use of ontologies and information systems that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ontology-driven Information Systems Development;
- Capturing IS semantics with ontologies;
- Ontologies in or for Information Systems;
- Sytems integration using ontologies;
- Ontologies in Information Systems Architecture;
- Meaning and Semantics in IS;
- Meta-data development and applications;
- Ontology querying and reasoning;
- Ontology engineering;
- Upper, domain and application ontologies;
- Specialized domain ontologies (e.g. enterprise ontology) ;
- Ontology tools and technologies;
- Ontology-driven systems development and systems development methodologies.
You are cordially invited to submit your research to the SIGODIS mini-track!
Important Dates: - February 28, 2018: Deadline for Paper Submission - April 17, 2018: Decisions made for Completed Research, ERFs submissions - April 25, 2018: Deadline for camera-ready submissions.
