Scope
Knowledge acquisition and management is a multi-disciplinary subject that focuses on methods of collecting, storing, retrieval and exchange of semantically meaningful data in many areas in scientific research and industrial activities. Ontology engineering concerns the development of well-founded semantic models that provides interoperability, consistency, inference capability to knowledge-based applications, and act as a canonical model for semantic integration of heterogeneous data in both storage and communication. Ontology engineering is a multi-disciplinary subject and includes theories from philosophy, computer science, and linguistic to formalize its logical and semantical foundation. Additionally, knowledge management for a particular domain also requires ontology engineers to have a good grasp of domain-specific theories and practices. Such shared vocabulary with a strong foundation on logic forms the vision of semantic web by infusing meaning and context to the existing web data aiming to make them more shareable and integrable. The purpose of this track is to bring together researchers from both theory and practice of knowledge management, ontology engineering, and semantic web technologies.
We invite authors to submit both research and application papers. Research papers in this area are expected to present new knowledge management technology and standards, methodologies for ontology development, evaluation, and maintenance, and new domain-dependent or independent semantic model. Application papers are expected to describe real-life applications and systems that used semantic web technologies and ontologies.
