   In conjunction of the International Federated Conferences (OTM '06)

                  3-4 Nov 2006, Montpellier, France

=20

This workshop is organized by the Ontology Outreach Authority OOA=20

(Knowledge Web NoE). The OOA is devoted to develop strategies for =
ontology=20

recommendation and standardization, thereby promoting and providing=20

outreach for verifiable quality ontological content.

=20

Current trends within the Semantic Web research are mainly concerned =
with=20

technological issues, such as language capabilities, inference services, =


etc. Yet less attention has been given to ontology content and its=20

quality.This workshop aims to focus on content issues, such as=20

methodologies and tools concerned with modeling good ontologies,=20

approaches to ontology content evaluation, quality measures, ontology=20

content management (e.g. metadata,libraries, and registration), ontology =


documentation, etc. The workshop also aims to give a special attention =
to=20

ontology content issues in two industrial sectors: human resources and=20

employment, and healthcare and life sciences.

=20

We welcome papers and (past/planned) project descriptions that discuss=20

ontology modeling and evaluation aspects, particularly:

* Research papers presenting theoretical solutions, but with a clear

  illustration on how these solutions can be applied in industry.

* Position papers presenting opinions on some aspect of ontology =
practice,

  or describing work that is still in progress, but sufficiently mature =
to

  warrant attention.

* Business experience and case studies specifying requirements,=20

  challenges, or opportunities of modeling and applying ontologies in=20

  industry.

The workshop consists of three tracks: Ontology Evaluation, Ontologies =

Methods and tools for ontology evaluation:

      * Ontological evaluation.

      * Logical evaluation.

      * Usability/usefulness evaluation.

      * Ontology compliance to standards.

      * Ontology standardization and recommendation scenarios.

      * Ontology metadata, and libraries.

      * Ontology documentation.

      * Ontology registration and certification.

      * Ontology interoperability.

      * Consensus reaching.

      * Business cases studies.

=20

Ontologies in Human Resources=20

      * Modeling and representation of: Jobs, CVs, Competencies, Skills, =


         Employees, People, Organizations, Social Events, etc.

      * HR upper level concepts.

      * Semantics of HR-XML.

      * Semantic metadata for HR applications.

      * Semantics in job matching.

      * Semantics in learning technologies.

      * Multilinguality in human resources ontologies.

      * Best practice and semantic patterns in ontology modeling and=20

        evaluation.=20

=20

Ontologies for Healthcare and Life sciences

      * Ontologies in Biomedicine and bioinformatics.

      * Ontologies of diseases, nursing, therapeutics, drug, etc.

      * Upper level concepts of healthcare and life sciences ontologies.

      * Semantic metadata for Clinical Data Interchange.

      * Semantics of medical XML standards and vocabularies.

      * Multilinguality in Biomedicine and bioinformatics ontologies.
