ISWC-05 Workshop
November 7th, 2005, afternoon
Ontology Patterns for the Semantic Web
As interest in the semantic web increases, so, too, has the need for high-quality and reusable examples of semantic web ontologies. This half-day workshop will focus on discussion instead of presentation and papers that describe particular ontologies in RDFS and OWL - that is, actual ontologies in OWL or RDFS that address an open, and general problem. Each selected ontology will be assigned a responder from the workshop participants who will commit to carefully reviewing the work and providing directed comments and helping to lead the discussion. The workshop will be of interest to anyone committed to using semantic web technology, or becoming part of the semantic web itself. Many newcomers find the technology daunting, and having a sound place to start will improve matters considerably.
