Questions addressed by OCAS2011
Ontologies and Semantic Web in action
• How are SW technologies and Ontologies being adopted by mainstream?
• Experience reports of the introduction of SW technologies and ontologies in corporate and government
environments
• Once introduced in an environment, how do SW and ontology-based applications evolve?
• Ontologies in manufacturing and production chains
• Ontologies supporting CAD interoperability and feature extraction; towards smart CAD environments
• How could RDF(a) and ontologies be used to represent the knowledge encoded in scientific documents and in
general-interest media publications?
• What ontologies do we need for representing structural elements in a document?
• How can we capture the semantics of rhetorical structures in scholarly communication, and of hypotheses and
scientific evidence?
• What does a network of truly interconnected documents look like? How could interoperability across documents
be enabled?
• Are decision support systems in the biomedical domain using ontologies? How?
• How are biomedical ontologies logically formalizing the rich set of lexical definitions gathered? How are these
ontologies going beyond controlled vocabularies?
• Practical cases of successful and unsuccessful application of ontologies and SW technologies in application
domains such as: financial, biomedical, e-business, engineering, law enforcement, document management, egovernment,
legislative systems.
We would also like to have visionary papers addressing issues such as:
● Semantic Web + Ontologies + Ubiquitous Computing + Folksonomies =Visions of the future, how can technology
make us look smart?
● Conceptualism vs Realism, how is this related to Ontology Engineering? How is this related to the realization of
the Semantic Web?
● How are Semantic Web technologies and Ontologies shaping the intelligent layer of the Web?
