Odp:Invitation

From Odp

Dear ODP Portal User,

the organization of WOP 2010, the 2nd Workshop on Ontology Patterns co-located with ISWC 2010 in Shanghai on November 8th, would like to invite you as a user of the ontology design pattern portal to submit an ontology engineering problem proposal to the workshop. Deadline is Friday October 1st, 11:59pm Hawaii time.

Have you been considering how to solve a particular ontology engineering problem in a good way? And you didn't find any patterns in the portal that solve that particular problem? Are you going to attend ISWC 2010? Then here is you answer: Submit your problem as a proposal for the WOP 2010 workshop! If selected, the problem will be discussed and potentially solved in the pattern writing session at the workshop!

Problem proposals can be either general or related to some specific domain, but the envisioned solution should correspond to an ODP of one (or more) of the types listed at [1]. Submission instructions are found at [2].

The problem proposals will be rated by the WOP PC and ODP portal committees, based on two main criteria:

• Relevance of the problem, and importance of a solution to the general ontology engineering community or within some specific domain.
• Feasibility to arrive at a draft solution within the time frame of the workshop.

Please consider that if your proposal is selected, you will be asked to present the problem at the workshop, and act as the "problem owner" during the pattern writing group work session.

Best regards,

WOP Pattern Chairs

Eva Blomqvist and Oscar Corcho
