********************************************************************
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.

Workshop Structure

The workshop consists of three tracks: Ontology Evaluation, Ontologies =
in=20
Human Resources and Employment, and ontologies in Healthcare and life=20
sciences:
=20
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.
* Best practice and semantic patterns in ontology modeling and=20

We invite (A) research papers describing original studies of no more =
than
12 pages; (B) Position papers presenting opinions or work in progress of =
no more than 6 pages; and (C) Business experience and case studies of no =
