Description
Explicit rich representations of domain knowledge, models, processes, historical development, and argumentation are important to support e-science, e-social science and digital humanities research. Ontologies define concept hierarchies and identify important types of relations between concepts as well as entities of interest. However, to support e-research as well as real applications, ontologies need to go beyond simple semantics to include representation of complex structures and systems, dynamic models and processes, flow of temporal events, as well as discourse structure, evolution of knowledge, argumentation and information across types of documents and media.
This workshop will explore frameworks for ontological representation with rich semantics, and applications in diverse knowledge domains such as systems analysis and design, molecular biology, clinical decision support systems, linguistics, law, history, biography, etc.
Call for Proposals
Presentations of completed, ongoing or proposed research/project in ontology and rich semantics applications in a particular subject or application area are invited.
Authors of accepted presentations will be invited to submit a short paper (of 6-10 pages) for publication in a special issue of LIBRES e-journal (https://www.libres-ejournal.info/), after a round of review and revision.
Presentation proposal submission deadline: Mon, 1st Oct 2018 (notification 8th Oct).
