WOP2021</div><div>is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations, a poster </div><div>session, and an interactive breakout discussion session.</div><div><br></div><div>The workshop aims to discuss issues of quality in ontology design. In </div><div>particular, it focuses on the role and use of ontology design patterns (ODPs) </div><div>for data and knowledge engineering in the Semantic Web, as related to the </div><div>ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. The increased attention to ODPs in </div><div>recent years through their interaction with emerging trends of Semantic Web </div><div>such as knowledge graphs can be attributed to their benefit for knowledge </div><div>engineers and Semantic Web developers. Such benefits come in the form of direct </div><div>link to requirements, reuse, guidance, and better communication. The </div><div>workshop’s aim is to: 1) provide an arena for discussing patterns, </div><div>pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, and 2) broaden the pattern </div><div>community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and describing </div><div>relevant problems and their solutions.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Topics</div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>We particularly welcome contributions on topics concerning development of </div><div>high-quality ontologies in general (with or without the help of ODPs) as well </div><div>as studies and applications of ODPs for knowledge graph construction and </div><div>maintenance. In addition, as usual we also welcome pattern descriptions of all </div><div>sorts, including patterns geared towards applications in specific domains such </div><div>as geosciences, biomedical science, digital humanities, or e-commerce. The main </div><div>topics of interest are:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Use of ontology design patterns for any kind of knowledge engineering, </div><div>including</div><div> – Pattern-based ontology design, conceptual modeling or knowledge engineering broadly</div><div> – Use in knowledge graphs or linked data settings (including </div><div> pattern-driven linking or data publishing)</div><div> – Pattern-based information extraction, ontology learning, and relation to NLP</div><div> – Use in streaming, ingesting or evolving knowledge</div><div> – Use of patterns for ontology evaluation, quality assurance, </div><div> ontology selection, integration or alignment</div><div> – Pattern-based development of semantic applications</div><div> – Reasoning with patterns (including automated reasoning, </div><div> verification, or contextual reasoning)</div><div><br></div><div>2) Methods and tools for developing high-quality ontologies (with or without </div><div>the help of patterns), including</div><div> – Ontology engineering by domain experts</div><div> – Quality attributes or metrics in ontologies and ontology engineering</div><div> – Quality assurance approaches for ontology engineering</div><div> – Critical analysis of the design of existing ontologies, and </div><div> proposals on how to improve the design, possibly by using ODPs</div><div><br></div><div>3) Development or analysis of ontology design patterns, including</div><div> – Pattern extraction</div><div> – Analyses of ontology design patterns or their uses</div><div> – Antipatterns and their relations to ODPs</div><div><br></div><div>4) Development and use of patterns in specific domains, including</div><div> – Date lakes, business intelligence, or Big Data integration</div><div> – Geosciences, life sciences, engineering, digital humanities, cultural preservation</div><div> – IoT, smart homes & cities, smart agriculture</div><div> – Semantic technology including social networks, semantic wikis or blogs</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Submissions</div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus </div><div>areas of the workshop, in one of three categories given below. All submissions </div><div>are requested through EasyChair.</div><div><br></div><div>1) Research papers (maximum 15 pages LNCS style) presenting mature work and </div><div>established results.</div><div>2) Short papers (maximum 5 pages LNCS style) presenting proposed research </div><div>directions, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions.</div><div>3) Ontology Design Patterns (5-12 pages LNCS style) should solve a particular </div><div>modelling problem, of relevance either to the broader ontology engineering </div><div>community, or to some specific knowledge domain, in a novel and reusable </div><div>manner. Pattern serialization must be made available, ideally at a permanent </div><div>IRI. When preparing the camera-ready version, patterns must additionally be </div><div>submitted through the ontologydesignpatterns.org community portal, as described </div><div>at http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021/Submission.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions should be made via <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2021>. </div><div>Detailed instructions can be found at the submission page </div><div><http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021/Submission>.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Important Dates</div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>Papers submissions: July 5, 2021</div><div>Papers notifications: July 25, 2021</div><div>Camera-ready version submissions: September 1, 2021</div><div>Workshop will be held on October 24 or 25, 2021</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Proceedings</div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>Accepted research papers and pattern descriptions will be published online as </div><div>CEUR-Workshop Proceedings.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>WOP2021 Chairs</div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>– Karl Hammar, Jönköping University, SWE (general chair)</div><div>– Cogan Shimizu, Kansas State University, USA (papers co-chair)</div><div>– Hande Kucuk McGinty, Ohio University, USA (papers co-chair)</div><div>– Luigi Asprino, University of Bologna, IT (patterns co-chair)</div><div>– Valentina Anita Carriero, University of Bologna, IT (patterns co-chair)</div>
