==== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ====
CLASSIFICATION AND ONTOLOGY: Formal Approaches and Access to Knowledge
International UDC Seminar 2011
VENUE: The Hague, National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek)
DATE: 19-20 September 2011
WEBSITE: http://seminar.udcc.org/2011/
CONTACT: ***@udcc.org
The difference between bibliographic knowledge classifications and ontologies resides in
their particular purpose/function, and levels of formality. However, they are
both based on observation and reasoning (ontological analysis) and share some
structural principles and elements.
The objective of this conference is to promote collaboration and exchange of
expertise between the bibliographic, the semantic web and the AI domains. We
hope to learn more about methods in ontology modelling and whether these may be
used to improve and formalise the data models of bibliographic classifications
and enhance their value in information discovery.
Papers are now invited covering the following topics:
1. Modelling and representation of knowledge classifications
2. Standards and solutions for innovative and high-quality classification data
processing
3. Applications and implementations of classification structures as ontologies
4.Theoretical considerations of the role of knowledge classifications
The proposals should be of interest to academic and research communities dealing
with conceptual modelling, information systems design, knowledge organization,
knowledge engineering, semantic interoperability and information integration, and
natural-language processing. Read more and download the full text of the CFP at
the conference website http://seminar.udcc.org/2011/.
Contributions may include conference papers and posters. Authors should submit a
proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words including
references, for papers, and 500-600 words for posters). To submit proposal
online go to the conference website.
Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed
at the conference.
IMPORTANT DATES: 30 Jan 2011 Paper proposal submission deadline
28 Feb 2011 Notification of acceptance
01 Apr 2011 Paper submission
