Chris Mungall
I don't have much time to prepare anything detailed - I may do a 4-page paper on posh

> OWL: Experiences and Directions
> San Francisco, California, USA
> June 5-6, 2011
> http://www.webont.org/owled/2011/
>
> **** DEADLINES ****
> March 9, 2011 Title and abstract due **Extended**
> March 16, 2011 Paper submission due **Extended**
> April 14, 2011 Notification of acceptance
> May 14, 2011 Camera-ready version due
> June 5-6, 2011 OWLED 2011
>
> **** Scope ****
> The adoption of the W3C OWL Web Ontology Language in real-world
> applications continues to grow as the research and tools for OWL
> mature. The new version, OWL 2, has been a positive factor in this
> direction. The OWL: Experiences and Directions (OWLED) workshop series
> aims to bring users, developers and researchers from academia and
> industry together to describe applications of OWL, to share
> experience, and to discuss extensions to the language for satisfying
> further application requirements. This year the OWLED workshop will be
> held June 5-6 in San Francisco, California and be co-located with the
> 2011 Semantic Technology Conference
> (http://semtech2011.semanticweb.com/).
>
> **** Topics ****
> Papers about all aspects of OWL and extensions, applications, theory,
> methods and tools, are welcome at the workshop; including, but not
> limited to the following topics:
>
> - Application-driven requirements for OWL
> - Applications of OWL, particularly
> * from industry or
> * for data integration, including RDF/linked data
> * for service interoperability
> * for sophisticated/non-obvious inference
> * for knowledge discovery
> - OWL ontologies, particularly if highly expressive or large scale
> - Experiences on using OWL, OWL 2 and its profiles
> - OWL based information systems
> - Performance and scalability experiences
> - Query answering with OWL
> - Bridges between knowledge engineering and OWL
> - Non-standard inference services, including:
> * explanations
> * static verification
> * modularity
> - Tools for OWL, including:
> * collaborative editing and versioning
> * parsers and syntax checkers
> * high performance reasoners
> * visualization tools
> - Extensions to OWL, including:
> * extended constructors for datatypes, properties or classes
> * constraints, rules
> * non-monotonic, probabilistic or fuzzy extensions
> * temporal and spatial extensions
>
> **** Call for Papers ****
> - Research Track
> Research papers (maximum 10 pages; LNCS style) should clearly describe
> original and significant research.
>
> - Application Track
> Application papers (maximum 4 pages; LNCS style) may present
> interesting practical approaches in using OWL, or may employ
> scientific methods (qualitative and/or quantitative) to understand in
> greater detail the application of OWL in real-world systems.
>
> - Statement of Interest
> A statement of interest (maximum 2 pages; LNCS style) can be about
> ideas, solutions, methods, products, research projects or
> implementation experience pertaining to OWL.
>
> * Submissions *
> All papers will be published as CEUR proceedings. In addition, a
> number of papers will be selected for further refereeing for
> publication as an open access special edition of the Journal Semantic
> Web (http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/).
>
> Submit papers to: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=owled2011
> All submissions should be PDF files formatted according to LNCS.
> See: Information for LNCS Authors.

> **** Keynote ****
> This year’s keynote address will be given by Dr. Dean Allemang. Dr.
> Allemang is the Chief Scientist at TopQuadrant, Inc, a US company
> specializing in Semantic Web software and services. He is an
> internationally recognized expert in the Semantic Web with a strong
> formal background in Mathematics (MSc, University of Cambridge) and
> Computer Science (PhD, Ohio State University). For the past seven
> years, he has lead TopQuadrant's successful TopMIND training series,
> from which he drew much of the inspiration for his recent book
> (co-authored with Prof. Jim Hendler), Semantic Web for the Working
> Ontologist (now available in four languages). Dr. Allemang brings
> years of experience applying knowledge-based technologies to real
> business problems.
