The Research Track includes peer reviewed original, principled research papers addressing both the theory and practice of Semantic Web technologies.

See the Call for Papers and Program Committee.

Accepted papers

PDFs of the accepted papers camera ready copy (which are not exactly the published copies) can be found here [1] as well as below.

Preliminary Schedule

Note: This schedule is still in some flux but should firm up in the next few days.

The program committee has identified a number of papers as being of General Interest. The committee recommends these papers as particularly accessible and informative to attendees of all backgrounds seeking an overview of research activity taking place in the various subfields of Semantic Web research.

Please fill out the form at [2] . Be sure to fill it out today (Tuesday) before 3 pm.

You will have to submit a URL to a one-page PDF (and only PDF) slide.

16:45 Panel: Does the Semantic Web Need Ontologies?

Panelists: Enrico Motta, Frank van Harmelen, Michael Witbrock, Tom Heath

Chaired by Joel Sachs

Abstract / Main questions

Do ontologies help or hurt?

Should they be intelligently designed, or should they emerge from the information soup?

How much can be done without them?

When are they crucial?

The panel will attempt to tease out the type and amount of ontological infrastructure required for a range of semantic web use cases. The audience will be invited to participate.
