\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
  The collection of {\it ISWC2004 Poster Abstracts} will be printed from 
  electronic
  manuscripts submitted by the authors. This paper gives the
  style instructions.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}

The {\it ISWC2004 Poster Abstracts} will be printed from electronic
manuscripts submitted by the authors.  These must be PDF ({\em
  Portable Document Format}) or postscript files formatted for A4 paper.  
%If the electronic manuscript uses Adobe's {\em Times
%  Roman} font, then the manuscript will also be included in the CD-ROM
%version of the proceedings.

\subsection{Length of Papers}


Each accepted 
poster abstract is allowed two pages.

\subsection{Word Processing Software}

As detailed below, ISWC has prepared and made available a set of
\LaTeX{} macros and a MS-Word template for use in 
formatting your paper, based on earlier templates prepared for IJCAI. 
If you are using
some other word processing software (such as WordPerfect, etc.),
please follow the format instructions given below and ensure that your
final paper looks as much like this sample as possible.

\section{Style and Format}


\LaTeX{} and Bib\TeX{} style files that implement these instructions
can be retrieved electronically.  (See Appendix~\ref{latex} for
instructions on how to obtain these files.)

\subsection{Layout}

Print manuscripts two columns to a page, in the manner in which these
instructions are printed.  The dimensions for pages are:
\begin{itemize}
\item left and right margins: $.75''$
\item column width: $3.25''$
\item gap between columns: $.25''$
\item top margin---first page: $1.375'''$
\item top margin---other pages: $.75''$
\item bottom margin: $1.375''$
\item column height---first page: $7.125''$
\item column height---other pages: $9.5''$
\end{itemize}

All measurements assume an {\bf A4} page size. 
There are small rounding errors with the imperial distances
given above, which can be ignored.
%When printing a draft on US Letter paper, the top and left margins 
%should be correct, the right margin should be more like $1''$, and the bottom 
%margin about $0.68''$.


\subsection{Format of Electronic Manuscript}

For the production of the electronic manuscript you must use Adobe's
{\em Portable Document Format} (PDF) or Postscript. 
PDF can be
generated, for instance, on Unix systems using {\tt ps2pdf}. 
Under
Windows, Adobe's {\tt Distiller} can be used to generate PDF. 
There is also a web site
with free software and conversion services: {\tt www.ps2pdf.com}.  For
reasons of uniformity, Adobe's {\em Times Roman} font 
is strongly suggested.
%
%should be used
%(note that only manuscripts using this font can be included in the
%proceedings).  In \LaTeX2e{} this is accomplished by putting
\begin{quote} 
\mbox{\tt $\backslash$usepackage\{times\}} 
\end{quote}
in the preamble.\footnote{You may want also to use the package {\tt
    latexsym}, which defines all symbols known from the old \LaTeX{}
  version.}
  
Additionally, it is of utmost importance to specify the  {\bf
  A4} format (corresponding to {\em $8.27 \times 11.69''$}) when
formatting the paper.  Otherwise the paper is not printable. When
working with {\tt dvips}, for instance, one should specify {\tt -t
  a4}.


\subsection{Title and Author Information}

Center the title on the entire width of the page in a 14-point bold
font.  Below it, center the author name(s) in a 12-point bold font.
Then the address(es) should be centered using a 12-point font.  Credit
to a sponsoring agency can appear on the first page as a footnote.

\subsection{Abstract}

Place the abstract at the beginning of the first column $3.0''$ from
the top of the page, unless that does not leave enough room for the
title and author information.  Use a slightly smaller width than in
the body of the paper.  Head the abstract with ``Abstract'' centered
above the body of the abstract in a 12-point bold font.  The body of
the abstract should be in the same font as the body of the paper.

The abstract should be a concise, one-paragraph summary describing the
general thesis and conclusion of your paper. A reader should be able
to learn the purpose of the paper and the reason for its importance
from the abstract. The abstract should be no more than 100 words long.

\subsection{Text}

The main body of the text immediately follows the abstract.  Use
10-point type in a clear, readable font with 1-point leading (10 on
11).

Indent when starting a new paragraph, except after major headings.

\subsection{Headings and Sections}

When necessary, headings should be used to separate major sections of
your paper.  (These instructions use many headings to demonstrate
their appearance---your paper should have fewer headings.)

\subsubsection{Section Headings}

Print section headings in 12-point bold type in the style shown in these
instructions.  Leave a blank space of approximately 10 points above and 4
points below section headings.  Number sections with arabic numerals.

\subsubsection{Subsection Headings}

Print subsection headings in 11-point bold type.  Leave a blank space of
approximately 8 points above and 3 points below subsection headings.
Number subsections with the section number and the subsection number (in
arabic numerals) separated by a period. Subsubsection headings
(such as the heading of this paragraph) 
need not to be numbered.

\subsubsection{Subsubsection Headings}

Print subsubsection headings in 10-point bold type.  Leave a blank space of
approximately 6 points above subsubsection headings.  Do not number
subsubsections.

\subsubsection{Special Sections}

You may include an unnumbered acknowledgments section, including
acknowledgments of help from colleagues, financial support, and
permission to publish.  

Any appendices directly follow the text and look like sections, except
that they are numbered with capital letters instead of arabic
numerals.

The references section is headed ``References,'' printed in the same
style as a section heading, but without a number.  A sample list of
references is given at the end of these instructions.  Use a
consistent format for references, such as provided by Bib\TeX{}.  The
reference list should not include unpublished work.

\subsection{Citations}

Citations within the text should include the author's last name and
the year of publication, for example \cite{gottlob:nonmon}.
Append lowercase letters to the year in cases of ambiguity.
Treat multiple authors as in the following examples:
\cite{abelson-et-al:scheme} or \cite{bgf:Lixto} (for more than two authors) and
\cite{brachman-schmolze:kl-one} (for two authors).
If the author portion of a citation is obvious, omit it,
e.g., Nebel \shortcite{nebel:jair-2000}.
Collapse multiple citations as follows:
\cite{gls:hypertrees,levesque:functional-foundations}.
\nocite{abelson-et-al:scheme}
\nocite{bgf:Lixto}
\nocite{brachman-schmolze:kl-one}
\nocite{gottlob:nonmon}
\nocite{gls:hypertrees}
\nocite{levesque:functional-foundations}
\nocite{levesque:belief}
\nocite{nebel:jair-2000}

\subsection{Footnotes}

Place footnotes at the bottom of the page in a 9-point font.  Refer to
them with superscript numbers.\footnote{This is how your footnotes
  should appear.} Separate them from the text by a short
line.\footnote{Note the line separating these footnotes from the
  text.}  Avoid footnotes as much as possible; they interrupt the flow
of the text.

\section{Illustrations}

%\subsection{General Instructions}

Place illustrations (figures, drawings, tables, and photographs) throughout
the paper at the places where they are first discussed, rather than at the
end of the paper.  If placed at the bottom or top of a page, illustrations
may run across both columns.  

Illustrations must  be rendered electronically or scanned and placed
directly in your document pages. All illustrations should be in black
and white since color illustrations may cause problems. Line weights
should
be 1/2-point or thicker. Avoid screens and superimposing type on
patterns as these effects may not reproduce well.


%If you cannot merge illustrations directly into your file, securely attach
%them to the master form with glue stick, spray adhesive, rubber cement, or
%white tape.
%Do not use transparent tape as the printing process blurs
%copy under transparent tape.

Number illustrations sequentially.  Use references of the following form:
Figure 1, Table 2, etc.  Place illustration numbers and captions under
illustrations.  Leave a margin of 1/4-inch around the area covered by the
illustration and caption.  Use 9-point type for captions, labels, and
other text in illustrations.

%Do not use line-printer printouts or screen-dumps for
%figures---they will be illegible when printed.
%Avoid screens or pattern fills as they tend to reproduce poorly.

%\subsection{Photographs}
%As mentioned above, illustrations should be
%rendered electronically or scanned and placed directly in your
%document pages.  If you need to include photographs, use only
%glossy black and white photographs.  Color photographs do not
%reproduce well.  

%(Red will reproduce as black, for example.)
%Photographs incur extra expense, so please use them judiciously.  {\em
%  Do not attach photographs to the pages}---leave sufficient space for
%them and write figure numbers in the space.  Label photographs on the
%back with the figure number, and enclose them in a separate envelope.

\section{Using \LaTeX{}}\label{latex}

A \LaTeX{} style file for version 2e of \LaTeX{} that implements these
instructions has been prepared, as has a Bib\TeX{} style file for version
0.99c of Bib\TeX{} ({\em not version 0.98i}) that implements the citation and
reference styles here. (Note: I have not checked these version number details)

%The relevant files are available from the IJCAI server via the World-Wide Web,
%anonymous ftp, and email.  As these files may be changed to fix bugs, you
%should ensure that you are using the most recent versions.

The relevant files are {\tt iswc2004-poster.sty}
and the bib-tex file {\tt named.bst} 
which are currently available at the \\
{\tt iswc2004.semanticweb.org} portal 
under the call for posters.
The  file {\tt iswc2004-poster.tex} 
contains the \LaTeX{} source of the present document
which
may serve as a formatting sample.
