Subject: [ontolog-forum] Third [CfP] WOP2021 at ISWC2021, Workshop on
Ontology Design and Patterns
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 06:17:19 -0700

Workshop on Ontology Design and Patterns (12th edition) – WOP2021 will
take
place at the 20th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC2021,
virtually,
in October 2021 <https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org>

Workshop Website: <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021>

Submission deadline (papers and patterns): July 5, 2021


Call for Papers
---

We invite submissions to the 12th Workshop on Ontology Design and
Patterns
(WOP2021) to be held in conjunction with the International Semantic
Web
Conference (ISWC) that will take place online from Oct. 24 to 28,
2021.
WOP2021
is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations,
a
poster
session, and an interactive breakout discussion session.

The workshop aims to discuss issues of quality in ontology design. In
particular, it focuses on the role and use of ontology design patterns
(ODPs)
for data and knowledge engineering in the Semantic Web, as related to
the
ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. The increased attention to ODPs
in
recent years through their interaction with emerging trends of Semantic
Web
such as knowledge graphs can be attributed to their benefit for
knowledge
engineers and Semantic Web developers. Such benefits come in the form
of
direct
link to requirements, reuse, guidance, and better communication. The
workshop’s aim is to: 1) provide an arena for discussing patterns,
pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, and 2) broaden the
pattern
community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and
describing
relevant problems and their solutions.


Topics
---

We particularly welcome contributions on topics concerning development
of
high-quality ontologies in general (with or without the help of ODPs)
as
well
as studies and applications of ODPs for knowledge graph construction
and
maintenance. In addition, as usual we also welcome pattern descriptions
of
all
sorts, including patterns geared towards applications in specific
domains
such
as geosciences, biomedical science, digital humanities, or e-commerce.
The
main
topics of interest are:

1) Use of ontology design patterns for any kind of knowledge
engineering,
including
        – Pattern-based ontology design, conceptual modeling or
knowledge
engineering broadly
        – Use in knowledge graphs or linked data settings (including
      pattern-driven linking or data publishing)
        – Pattern-based information extraction, ontology learning, and
relation to NLP
        – Use in streaming, ingesting or evolving knowledge
        – Use of patterns for ontology evaluation, quality assurance,
      ontology selection, integration or alignment
        – Pattern-based development of semantic applications
        – Reasoning with patterns (including automated reasoning,
      verification, or contextual reasoning)

2) Methods and tools for developing high-quality ontologies (with or
without
the help of patterns), including
        – Ontology engineering by domain experts
        – Quality attributes or metrics in ontologies and ontology
engineering
        – Quality assurance approaches for ontology engineering
        – Critical analysis of the design of existing ontologies, and
      proposals on how to improve the design, possibly by using ODPs

3) Development or analysis of ontology design patterns, including
        – Pattern extraction
        – Analyses of ontology design patterns or their uses
        – Antipatterns and their relations to ODPs

4) Development and use of patterns in specific domains, including
        – Date lakes, business intelligence, or Big Data integration
        – Geosciences, life sciences, engineering, digital humanities,
cultural preservation
        – IoT, smart homes & cities, smart agriculture
        – Semantic technology including social networks, semantic wikis
or
blogs


Submissions
---

We invite the submission of original research results related to the
focus
areas of the workshop, in one of three categories given below. All
submissions
are requested through EasyChair.

1) Research papers (maximum 15 pages LNCS style) presenting mature work
and
established results.
2) Short papers (maximum 5 pages LNCS style) presenting proposed
research
directions, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions.
3) Ontology Design Patterns (5-12 pages LNCS style) should solve a
particular
modelling problem, of relevance either to the broader ontology
engineering
community, or to some specific knowledge domain, in a novel and
reusable
manner. Pattern serialization must be made available, ideally at a
permanent
IRI. When preparing the camera-ready version, patterns must
additionally be
submitted through the ontologydesignpatterns.org community portal, as
described
at http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021/Submission.

Submissions should be made via
<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2021>;.
Detailed instructions can be found at the submission page
<http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021/Submission>;.


Important Dates

Papers submissions: July 5, 2021
Papers notifications: July 25, 2021
Camera-ready version submissions: September 1, 2021
Workshop will be held on October 24 or 25, 2021


Proceedings
