Developing ontologies is not an easy task and, as the ontologies grow in si=
ze, they are likely to show a number of defects.  Such ontologies, although=
 often useful, also lead to problems when used in semantically-enabled appl=
ications. Wrong conclusions may be derived or valid conclusions may be miss=
ed.  Defects in ontologies can take different forms. Syntactic defects are =
usually easy to find and to resolve. Defects regarding style include such t=
hings as unintended redundancy. More interesting and severe defects are the=
 modeling defects which require domain knowledge to detect and resolve such=
 as defects in the structure, and semantic defects such as unsatisfiable co=
ncepts and inconsistent ontologies. =


Further, during the recent years more and more mappings between ontologies =
with overlapping information have been generated, e.g. using ontology align=
ment systems, thereby connecting the ontologies in ontology networks. This =
has led to a new opportunity to deal with defects as the mappings and other=
 ontologies in the network may be used in the debugging of a particular ont=
ology in the network. It also has introduced a new difficulty as the mappin=
gs may not always be correct and need to be debugged themselves.  =


This workshop intends to be a forum where issues in debugging ontologies an=
d mappings between ontologies are discussed. =


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: =


- detecting and repairing semantic defects in ontologies =


- detecting and repairing modeling defects in ontologies =


- detecting and repairing defects in the structure of ontologies =


- detecting and repairing defects in mappings between ontologies =


- debugging ontology networks =


- debugging modular ontologies =


- justifications

- belief revision for debugging =


- ontology patterns for debugging =


- interactive ontology debugging

- visualization for ontology debugging

- connection of ontology debugging with other ontology engineering tasks (e=
.g. ontology development, ontology alignment, ontology comprehension, ontol=
ogy sense making, ontology evolution, ontology enrichment)

- case studies

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission: August 15, 2012.
