Lake of
Garda, Verona (Italy)

Description
Modeling corporate knowledge is one of the most attractive themes in applied research
and it has been an important motivation for several areas of
investigations like distribute systems and knowledge management.
Clearly, the business world considers this issue of strategic
relevance and keeps paying particular attention to it because many
theoretical results have already been proved effectiveness in real
applications like data warehouse construction, information
infrastructure definition, and all processes and applications of
knowledge management.
These knowledge models
in industry aim at providing a framework for information and
knowledge sharing, reliable information exchange, meaning negotiation
and coordination between distinct organizations or among members of
the same one.
With the application of
new methodologies and techniques in the everyday practice and the
accessibility of new theoretical results in this area, developing new
tools based on more sophisticated frameworks has become a common
need. This is an important reason for the increasing interest in the
employment of formal ontologies in fields like medicine, engineering,
financial and legal systems, and other business practices.
Objectives
The workshop is a forum
to meet and discuss problems, solutions, perspectives and research
directions for researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers or
project descriptions that aim at applying formal ontologies in
industry. In particular,
- theoretical
studies on formal ontologies committed to provide sound bases for
industrial applications and to allow formal representation of
corporate knowledge;
- business
experiences on case studies that single out concrete problems and
possible solutions; the experience analysis should provide useful
insights on social and strategic aspects that might be relevant in
the creation and deployment of formal ontologies as well as useful
criteria or methods to evaluate ontologies and their effectiveness in
applications.
********************************************************

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- ontology methodologies in business practice;

corporate knowledge;
