This is the tenth edition in a series of workshops addressing the topic of ontology and semantic web patterns as best practices, related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative.
The workshop series covers issues related to quality in ontology design and ontology design patterns (ODPs) for data and knowledge engineering in Semantic Web. 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 thus not just: 1) providing an arena for discussing patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, but also 2) broadening the pattern community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions.
For more background on the workshop series, see the main page.
WOP2019 is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations, a poster session, and an interactive breakout discussion session.
The tenth edition of WOP will be held in conjunction with ISWC 2019 in Auckland, New Zealand, on October 26th or 27th, 2019.
Room: To be announced.

Pattern Papers
Research Papers
We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop, in one of three categories:
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 (described in paper format, 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. Note that accepted pattern submissions are presented through a poster session (see below).
Topics include but are not limited to:
Submissions should be made via the WOP 2019 EasyChair page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wop2019. Further instructions can be found at http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2019/Submission. Note that design pattern submissions also need to be submitted to the ontologydesignpatterns.org community portal, as described on that page.
Accepted pattern submissions will be expected to present a poster describing the pattern at the workshop poster session.
Accepted research or short papers may also be presented in this manner if the authors would like to, but posters are not mandatory for such submissions.
Submissions should be made via the WOP 2019 EasyChair page. Submissions should be in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. Latex and Word templates are available. Detailed submission requirements can be found on the WOP 2019 submission page.
The best poster award for WOP 2019 is awarded based on voting by the workshop chairs (excluding those workshop chairs who themselves authored or co-authored a poster). 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 session, and the level of involvement of the author during the revision phase and poster session discussions during the workshop.
WOP 2019 proceedings will be published via CEUR Workshop Proceedings.
