The aim of the OWL:Experiences and Directions Workshop (OWLED) is to

establish an international forum for the OWL community, where

practitioners in industry and academia, tool developers and others

interested in OWL can describe real and potential applications, share

experience and discuss requirements for language

extensions/modifications. The workshops aim at bringing all these

groups together in order to pool their expertise, measure the state of

need against the state of the art, and set an agenda for research and

deployment in order to incorporate OWL-based technologies into new

applications.

This year, OWLED will be co-located with ESWC 2012 in Heraklion Crete.

As usual, the workshop will try to encourage participants to work

together and will give space for discussions of various topics as well

as having presentation of submissions.

Papers about all aspects of OWL and extensions, applications, theory,

methods and tools, are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are

not limited to,

? Application driven requirements for OWL

? Applications of OWL

? Experience of using OWL, in particular the OWL 2 Profiles

? Evaluation of OWL tools e.g. reasoners

? Benchmarks for OWL tools

? Performance and scalability issues and improvements

? Extensions to OWL

? OWL and Rules

? Implementation techniques and experience reports

? Non-standard reasoning service (implementation and requirements for)

? Explanation

? Ontology comprehension

? Tools, including editors, visualisation, parsers and syntax checkers

? Collaborative editing of ontologies

? Versioning of OWL ontologies

? Modularity
