Submission Instructions for WOP 2010

This page will contain instructions for submitting to WOP 2010. Submission will be possible in the following four categories:

  • Research papers (through easychair)
  • Poster/demo papers (through easychair)
  • Patterns (through the ODP portal)
  • Ontology engineering problems (through the ODP portal)

Paper and Poster Submissions

We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop. Research papers should present mature work and document established results. Poster papers may present work-in-progress (e.g. position papers), presentations of implemented systems, preliminary results of issues still under development, and other kinds of results suitable presentation in a poster format.

Submission guidelines

  • Research papers should be no longer than 14 pages, following the Springer LNCS formatting style (see LNCS style templates). Note that papers not adhering to the style guidelines or the maximum page limit will be rejected without review.
  • Position papers should be no longer than 4 pages, following the ACM SIG Proceedings Template
  • Poster papers should be no longer than 3 pages, following the ACM SIG Proceedings Template
  • Demo papers should be no longer than 4 pages, following the ACM SIG Proceedings Template, and should include a description of the demo.
  • Submissions should be in English, and non-native speakers are encouraged to seek assistance from native English speakers to ensure a correct language.
  • Submission of the papers should be done through the EasyChair WOP conference site

Pattern Submissions


Quick guide to submitting your pattern:

  • Go to the ODP portal pattern submission page.
  • Submit your pattern by following the instructions, and make sure you enter as much information about your pattern as possible (clarity and completeness of the information will be review criteria for patterns), i.e. fill out all applicable fields.
  • Once created, edit your pattern page (edit tab at the top of the page) and under the "Submit for event" tab enter "WOP:2010".
  • Go back to this page and check that your pattern appears in the table below.
  • If you are experiencing any problems, or have questions about how to submit patterns, please contact Eva Blomqvist.

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 problem, and be of significant interest for discussion at the workshop poster session. Patterns should be original, in the sense that they are the intellectual product of the author, however they may still be based on the collective experience of a community. Pattern submissions for the pattern part of the poster session will be collected through the ODP portal, and templates for submission are provided for the following types of patterns (see general typology for explanation of the types):

  • Content ODPs
  • Structural patterns:
    • Logical ODPs
    • Architectural ODPs
  • Correspondence patterns:
    • Re-engineering ODPs
    • Alignment ODPs

For other types of patterns, or if the author wishes to elaborate on theoretical rather than practical aspects, a pattern description may be submitted as either a research paper or poster paper. A paper submission can thereby be accompanied by a pattern submission, however the submissions will be reviewed separately.

To submit a pattern, go to the pattern submission page, then read and follow the instructions on the page related to the type of pattern you want to submit. Once you have submitted your pattern, and before the final submission deadline (September 1st), edit the pattern page. Choose the "Submit for event" tab, and enter "WOP:2010" as the event, by doing this you notify the workshop chairs of your submission and it will be included in the review process. You can check that you correctly submitted your pattern by verifying that it now appear in the list of submissions below. If you are experiencing any problems, or have questions about how to submit patterns, please contact Eva Blomqvist.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the Pattern PC, consisting mainly of members of the ODP portal Quality Committee (in case of disagreement a third reviewer will be assigned). Note that all reviews an discussions are public and not anonymous, hence, all visitors of the portal can see the reviews and any subsequent discussion. Your pattern will be reviewed based on the following set of criteria:

  • the practical utility and reusability of the pattern by a community,
  • the relevance of the problem addressed by the pattern,
  • if the pattern encodes some best practice within a community,
  • and the completeness and clarity of the pattern submission, i.e., if all fields have been filled and all aspects properly explained.

If accepted, at least one author of each pattern must register for the workshop and attend the workshop poster session to present their pattern. Further instructions on poster size and other practical details will follow after the selection has been finalized. In the case of acceptance of both a pattern and a poster paper describing the same pattern, only one registration and presentation of one poster is required.

This pattern promotes any literal as “first class object” in OWL by reifying it as a proper individual of the class litre:Literal.
SimpleOrAggregated MariaPoveda
MariCarmenSuarezFigueroa
The goal of this pattern is to represent objects that can be simple or aggregated (that is, several objects gathered in another object acting as a whole). The main difference between the aggregation relation and other mereological relationships (such as part-of or componency) is that the aggregated object and its aggregated members should belong to the same concept. For example, a turbine is part of an engine, whereas an aggregated provider is formed by providers.

Ontology Engineering Problem Submissions


Quick guide to submitting your problem:

  • Go to the ODP portal page for posting modeling issues.
  • Submit your modeling issue by following the instructions, and make sure you enter as much information about the problem as possible in the "description"-field. Please, keep it brief and concise (this is not a paper!), but at a minimum you should describe:
    • What is the problem, e.g. what do you want to model/represent/transform/match/reengineer/...
    • Why is this an important problem? Have you encountered this problem in some "real-world" setting and does it belong to a certain knowledge domain or is it more general?
    • Who would benefit from having a pattern that solves this problem and why?
    • Do you have any ideas for solutions, e.g. did you already try some solutions alternatives?
  • Once created, edit your modeling issue page (edit tab at the top of the page) and under the "Submit for event" tab enter "WOP:2010".
  • Go back to this page and check that your pattern appears in the table below.
  • If you are experiencing any problems, or have questions about how to submit problem proposals, please contact Eva Blomqvist.

We invite submissions of interesting problems for the "pattern writing" sessions. Problems should be in the scope of “ontology engineering problems” (in a broad sense), i.e., problems where currently no ODP exist. The most interesting problem proposals will be selected through a voting process, and at the workshop the participants will be divided into groups based on interests and background, where each group will be assigned one proposed problem. The goal is to develop and propose an initial pattern candidate corresponding to that issue, which is presented to the rest of the participants at the end of the session and can then be posted in the ODP portal for revision and scrutiny. If the problem is selected, the person who proposed the problem is required to register for the workshop and be present, to provide background information about the problem for the candidate ODP to be created and participate in the discussion as the "problem owner".

Problem proposals can be general or related to some specific domain, but the envisioned solution should correspond to an ODP of one of the types listed here. The voting process will vote on problem proposals based on the following 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.

To submit a problem proposal, visit the " Post a modeling issue" page before the submission deadline (October 1st). Describe your problem as carefully as possible, by editing the page of the modeling issue. At a minimum you should describe:

  • What is the problem, e.g. what do you want to model/represent/transform/match/reengineer/...
  • Why is this an important problem? Have you encountered this problem in some "real-world" setting and does it belong to a certain knowledge domain or is it more general?
  • Who would benefit from having a pattern that solves this problem and why?
  • Do you have any ideas for solutions, e.g. did you already try some solutions alternatives?

Under the tab "Submit for event" enter "WOP:2010" as the event. Once you have saved the page check that it appears in the list below. If you are experiencing any problems, or have questions about how to submit problem proposals, please contact Eva Blomqvist.
