Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (7th edition) - WOP2016
This is the seventh 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 workshop is a gathering point for the ontology design pattern community for semantic web and linked data. 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
- providing an arena for proposing and discussing good practices, patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems etc., and
- broadening the pattern community that is developing its own “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions.
For more background on the workshop series, see the main page.
WOP2016 is planned to 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.

Call for Papers - Topics
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, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions (maximum 4 pages LNCS style).
This year we particularly welcome papers which evaluate the current practice of ontology modeling.
Original research papers and short papers are invited to consider the following (non exhaustive) list of topics:
- Ontology design patterns (ODPs) and pattern-based ontology design
- Anti-patterns and their relations to ODPs
- Pattern-based ontologies
- Ontology patterns and their relation with standards
- Ontology pattern extraction
- Analysis of ontology pattern usage
- Pattern-based ontology evaluation and selection
- Correspondence patterns for ontology matching and integration
- Best practices and examples for using existing ontologies/datasets to instantiate ODPs
- Discussion of use cases of particular ODPs across ontologies
- Evaluation of ODPs (methods, benchmarks)
- Patterns and Linked data (usage, emerging patterns, etc.)
- Linked Data patterns, patterns for using different vocabularies together
- Web semantics from a pattern perspective
- ODPs used for interaction with data
- Data mining patterns
- Automatic ontology construction (ontology learning) based on patterns
- Reasoning pipelines
- Usage of patterns in business intelligence
- Relation between NLP patterns (either for learning, or procedural) and ontologies/linked data design
- Frame semantics in text and knowledge representation
- Knowledge patterns and knowledge reengineering based on patterns
- Pattern-based information extraction
- Nary-fact extraction and representation
- Patterns in semantic social networks, semantic wikis, semantic blogs
- Reengineering patterns for conceptual models, folksonomies, lexicons, thesauri
- Usage of patterns in conceptual modeling
- Processes and services process patterns
- Problem solving methods and patterns
- Contextual reasoning and patterns as context
- Pattern-based methods and methodologies for development of semantic applications
- Usage of patterns in Semantic Web design
- Collaborative ontology design and collaboration patterns
- Tools and applications for pattern-based knowledge engineering
- Ontology Patterns for specific domains (cultural heritage, digital humanities, geosciences, biomedical sciences, multimedia, etc).
Call for Patterns
Submission instruction can be found at the submission page.
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:
- through the ODP portal and
- by submitting a description of the pattern (pattern description) via EasyChair.
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):
- 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.
Submission and Important Dates
For details on how to submit to WOP2016 see the submission page.
Important dates
- Abstract submission (required): to be announced
- Submission date: to be announced
- Author notifications: to be announced
- Camera-ready papers: to be announced
- Workshops will be held on to be announced
Best Poster Award
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.
Proceedings
Accepted research papers and pattern descriptions will be made available on this page. We are furthermore already negotiating with a publisher about publishing the collected workshop papers in a book. We will update this page as soon as we have more information.
