***************************************************** Call for Patterns 4th Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (WOP2013) http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2013

October 21st or 22nd, 2013 Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour, Australia

***************************************************** Submission deadline - July 12th, 2013 (11:59pm Hawaii time) *****************************************************

This workshop provides an arena for proposing and discussing good and bad practices, patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems, etc. The aim is to broaden the pattern community that will develop its own “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. The workshop will be held in conjunction with ISWC 2013 and will be a half-day event.

We invite the submission of research results in the form of ontology design patterns (ODPs). Patterns submitted should have a general relevance to the ontology engineering field, or specific interest within a knowledge domain. Patterns should solve some particular modeling problem, and be of significant interest for discussion at the workshop. Patterns should be original, in the sense that they are the intellectual product of the author(s), however they may still be based on the collective experience of a community.

---- Pattern Topics ----- Ontology design pattern (ODP) submissions will be collected

* by submitting a description of the pattern (pattern description) via https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wop2013 (select "WOP2013 Patterns Track”) * through the ODP portal [1]: templates for submission [2] are provided for the following types of patterns (see general typology [3] for explanation of the types):

** Content patterns ** Structural patterns: logical and architecture patterns. ** Correspondence patterns: re-engineering and alignment patterns.

For other types of patterns, the author is welcome to submit only a pattern description.

Detailed instructions for patterns submission, including how to submit via the ontologydesignpatterns.org portal, are found at the submission page [4]. Note that an account in the ODP portal is needed for submitting patterns; thus, authors should take care to request an account at least one week before their intended submission.

---- Process -----

Patterns are submitted through the ODP portal [1,2], and reviewed by at least two members of the ODP portal quality committee. Accepted patterns are to be improved based on the review comments, i.e. an update of the patterns in the ODP portal is mandatory. Accepted patterns are then presented as posters at the workshop, in a joint poster session with poster and demo papers. After the workshop, the patterns may be considered for certification in the ODP portal.

---- Best Pattern Award ----

Reviewers and workshop participants will together distinguish the best pattern submission, final decision to be made by the chairs. The best pattern award takes into account criteria such as the quality of the submission, the relevance and significance of the pattern, the presentation of the pattern, and the level of involvement of the author during the revision phase and poster session discussions during the workshop.

---- Important dates (2013, 11:59 Hawaii time) ----

* Submission deadline (research papers and patterns) - July 12th * Notification of acceptance (research papers and patterns) - August 9th * Camera ready deadline (research papers and pattern abstracts) - August 31st * Workshop date - October 21st or 22nd
