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)

Detailed instructions for paper and poster/demo submissions will follow shortly...

Pattern Submissions

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 (August 20), 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.

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.

Current list of received pattern submissions

HasIntent
Context Slices
Faceted Classification Scheme Ontological representation of a specific domain concept conceptualized using a Faceted Classification Scheme (FCS).
Summarization of an inverse n-ary relation
Literal Reification This pattern promotes any literal as “first class object” in OWL by reifying it as a proper individual of the class litre:Literal.
SimpleOrAggregated 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.
Symmetric n-ary relationship
