Workshop Objectives

OWL is a logic-based ontology language standard designed to promote interoperability, particularly in the context of the (Semantic) Web. The standard has encouraged the development of numerous OWL reasoning systems, and such systems are already key components of many applications.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the developers of reasoners for (subsets of) OWL, including systems focusing on both intensional (ontology) and extensional (data) query answering. The workshop will give developers a perfect opportunity to promote their systems.

Call for Papers

In parallel with the OWL Reasoner Competition, we invite submission of papers describing:

  • System descriptions describing the architecture, implementation, and expected performance of the reasoner.
  • Reasoner implementation details, usage reports, implementation “tips and tricks”.
  • Challenging ontologies and/or benchmark proposals for OWL reasoners.

Submissions and review process

Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and should not be longer than 6 pages (excluding references).

Submissions must be in PDF through the EasyChair conference system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2013.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. Selected papers will be presented during the workshop and published as a volume of CEUR workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org/).
