Dear All,
For those of you who will or might attend ISWC in Karlsruhe, you may be
interested in the 1-day tutorial on reasoning for Ontology Engineering
and Usage, on 27 Oct 2008.
In brief:
Engineering and using large OWL ontologies is a complex task for which
impressive tool support has recently been developed. Since OWL
ontologies are based on logic and involve entailments, this tool support
may involve reasoning, e.g., for query answering, inference explanation,
etc. Our tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of such tool support
from a user perspective, and explains the benefits of automated
reasoning for the user.
More information about the topics (theory and hands-on) that will be
covered can be obtained from the tutorial web page at
http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/2008/iswc-tones/, which are, among
others, data integration, OBDA, understanding and repairing inferences,
and bottom-up approaches to ontology development.
Registration can be done through the conference website at
http://iswc2008.semanticweb.org/.
Best regards,
Marijke
