This is the fifth edition in a series of workshops addressing the topic of ontology and semantic web patterns as best practices, related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative.
This edition of WOP will be the very first in Europe, in which traditionally the design pattern community for semantic web and linked data has been very strong. As interest in the Semantic Web increases and technologies for realizing the Semantic Web become more mature, the need for high-quality and reusable Semantic Web ontologies increases as well. To address the quality and reusability issues, different types of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) have emerged, and methods for devising or discovering new ones from heterogeneous knowledge sources are needed.
Patterns need to be shared by a community in order to provide a common language, and to stimulate pattern usage and development. Hence, the aim of this workshop is twofold
For more background on the workshop series, see the main page.
WOP2014 will be a full-day workshop consisting of two parts: paper presentations and posters. The poster session will feature pattern posters, i.e. presentations of patterns submitted according the call for patterns.
(update 19-8-2014) The fifth edition of WOP is confirmed to be held as a full-day workshop on October 19 2014, in conjunction with ISWC 2014
For the WOP2014 social dinner, we are gathering in front of the main entrance of the conference venue at 20.00. Please be on time so we don't leave you behind. In case you lose us call Victor: 0031647418031

Note that these are only preprints of the papers, the final version of the proceedings will be published by CEUR Workshop proceedings. Please refer to the proceedings, rather than this website, when citing the papers. The two papers with an asterix (*) have been invited to the SWJ fast-track (see below).

Submission instruction for research papers (including position papers) can be found at the submission page.
The main aim of the workshop is to discuss and collect solutions to recurrent problems that matter to researchers and practitioners of the Semantic Web field, and that impact on design and engineering of ontologies, linked data, knowledge extraction, and other semantic web applications. We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop. Research papers (maximum 12 pages LNCS style) should present mature work and document established results, or be short papers presenting proposed research directions and novel ideas (maximum 4 pages LNCS style). Original research papers and short papers are invited to consider the following (non exhaustive) list of topics:
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 submissions for the pattern session will be collected:
Detailed instructions for patterns submission, including how to submit via the ontologydesignpatterns.org portal, are found at the submission page. 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.
Pattern submissions can be made in any type of ODPs. Currently, portal templates for submission are provided for the following types of patterns (see general typology for explanation of the types):
For other types of patterns, the author is welcome to submit only a pattern description.
For details on how to submit to WOP2014 see the submission page.
Important dates
This year's workshop on ontology and semantic web patterns will offer a fast-track submission of selected papers to the Semantic Web journal's special issue on ontology design patterns. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their work to the journal. While fast-tracked papers will still undergo a full open and transparent review, they will be considered as acceptable by the journal. Please note that we will make the selection of papers based on how suitable they are for such an extended submission and that such papers may still get rejected by the journal, e.g., if the authors fail to address the issues pointed out during review. Please contact Krzysztof if you have further questions, e.g., on the suitability of a paper.
Results
Based on the reviewer scores, the organization committee has decided to invite two papers (designated with an asterix in the list of accepted papers above) to this fast-track. To ensure objectivity, this decision was verified with members of the steering committee. The invited authors have been contacted.
Workshop participants will be able to vote for the best poster, final decision to be made by the chairs. The best poster award takes into account criteria such as the quality of the submission, the relevance and significance of patterns or pattern usages presented, the presentation of the poster during the "lightning talks", and the level of involvement of the author during the revision phase and poster session discussions during the workshop.
The best poster award has been won by Ontology Patterns for Clinical Information Modelling as presented by Catalina Martínez-Costa We congratulate Catalina and her co-authors Daniel Karlsson and Stefan Schulz with this award. The poster is shown below.
'Ontology Design Patterns'
Accepted research papers and pattern descriptions will be published online as CEUR-Workshop Proceedings.
The workshop series is arranged by a fixed steering committee, appointing the chairs and adjusting the focus of the workshop on a yearly basis.
The WOP Steering committee consists of:
