Ontology Engineering meets Web 2.0 Workshop

Closed Workshop, Invitation only


Objective
The objective of this closed workshop is to have two days of intensive discussion and exchange of ideas rather than a "pseudo-conference". Hence, there will not be proceedings and no one will be able to add one more line to her publication list :-). Much more, we want everybody to present her or his recent research in a talk and then try to link our approaches.

In the end, we may write a joint paper about our results after the workshop.

List of most important publications due: January 12, 2008

Contributions and Presentations
As preparation, we would like to distribute a list of publications to all participants that includes the most important publications of each group (if you and your colleague would like to present differing topics, please let us know) . We kindly ask you to limit this list to a maximum of five papers (every number below 5 is also fine). Please send us this list by January 12, 2008.

At the workshop every group will be given a slot of 20 minutes to present their work. We aim at intense discussion instead of long presentations. We kindly ask you to send your slides until February 1, 2008, s.t. we can put them on the website.
