Welcome to the Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (4th edition) - WOP2013

This is the fourth edition in a series of workshops addressing the topic of ontology and semantic web patterns as best practices, related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative.

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.

WOP2013 will be a half-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.

Venue and dates

The fourth edition of WOP will be held either on October 21st or 22nd (official date to be communicated), in conjunction with ISWC 2013 in Sydney, Australia (for previous editions, see the main WOP website in the menu on the left).


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. Original research papers and poster papers are invited to consider the following (non exhaustive) list of topics:


  • Ontology design patterns (ODPs) and pattern-based ontology design
  • Ontology pattern extraction
  • ODPs for specific knowledge domains e.g. multimedia, fishery and agriculture, user profiling, business modeling, etc.
  • Anti-patterns and their relations to ODPs
  • Pattern-based ontologies
  • Pattern-based ontology evaluation and selection
  • Ontology patterns and their relation with standards
  • Analysis of ontology pattern usage
  • Quality evaluation of patterns (methods, benchmarks, etc.)
  • Benefits of ontology patterns and knowledge patterns
  • Patterns and Linked data (usage, emerging patterns, etc.)
  • ODPs for interaction with data
  • Ontology Patterns and Microformats
  • Patterns for expressing relevance of data in context
  • Pattern-based information extraction
  • Automatic ontology construction (ontology learning) based on patterns
  • Data mining patterns and Semantic Web design
  • Relation between NLP patterns (either for learning, or procedural) and ontologies/linked data design
  • Frame semantics in text and knowledge representation
  • N-ary fact extraction and representation
  • Lexico-syntactic patterns
  • Reasoning patterns (workflows made of reasoning steps for addressing specific goals)
  • Contextual reasoning and patterns as context
  • Usage of patterns in business intelligence and conceptual modeling
  • Tools and applications for pattern-based knowledge engineering
  • Reengineering patterns for conceptual models, folksonomies, lexicons, thesauri
  • Correspondence patterns for ontology matching and integration
  • Web semantics from a pattern perspective
  • Patterns in semantic social networks, semantic wikis, semantic blogs
  • Collaborative ontology design and collaboration patterns
  • Processes and services - process patterns
  • Problem solving methods based on patterns
  • Pattern-based methods and methodologies for development of semantic applications
  • Good practices of ontology design
  • Good practices for Linked Data and related applications
  • Good practices for hybridization of Semantic Web and NLP techniques
  • Good Practices and Patterns of semantic social networks, semantic wikis, semantic blogs
  • Good Practices of Semantic Web in general

Call for Patterns

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 WOP2013 see the submission page.

Important dates

  • Submission deadline (research papers and patterns) - July 12th (11:59 Hawaii time)
  • Notification of acceptance (research papers and patterns) - August 9th
  • Camera ready deadline (research papers and pattern abstracts) - August 31st
  • Workshop date - October 21st or 22nd

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 published online as CEUR-Workshop Proceedings.
