*** NEWS: ONLINE WORKSHOP, UPDATED DEADLINES ***

Due to the current international health situation, for the safety of
everyone, we decided to run the WOMoCoE 2020 workshop as an online
workshop. More information on the options for presentation will be provided
soon.

The paper submission and selection will run as planned: deadlines have been
extended in order to adapt to the new workshop re-organization.

ABOUT WOMoCoE 2020:

In the area of ontologies for Knowledge representation and reasoning,
knowledge is rarely considered as a monolithic and static structure:
partitioning knowledge into distinct modular structures is central to
organize knowledge bases, from their design to their management, from their
maintenance to their use in knowledge sharing. Moreover, keeping knowledge
in separate modules is essential for representing and for reliable and
effective reasoning in changing situations. Finally, evolution of knowledge
resources, in terms of updates by newly acquired knowledge, is an important
factor influencing the meaningfulness of stored knowledge over time.

Considering these emerging needs, the 5th International Workshop on
Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE 2020) offers the
ground to practitioners and researchers to discuss current work on
practical and theoretical aspects of modularity, contextuality and
evolution of ontology based knowledge resources.

WOMoCoE 2020 is part of the 6th Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO 2020). The
Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) is a venue of workshops that, together,
address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging
from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language
Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics.

---------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS:

The workshop comprises, but is not strictly limited to, the following
topics:

= Modularity =
- Languages for modular ontologies and knowledge representation
- Techniques for modularity: algorithms, implementations, ontology design
patterns etc.
- Modularity in reasoning: incremental and distributed reasoning
- Modularity in ontology engineering: ontology modules reuse and publishing
- Theoretical and cognitive aspects of modularity

= Context =
- Representing and using context in ontologies and knowledge resources
- Ontologies and standards for modelling contextual information
- Reasoning with contextual information and metadata
- Matching, combining and disambiguating knowledge resources with contexts

= Evolution =
- Definitions, algorithms and evolution in ontologies and knowledge
resources
- Reasoning and planning with evolving ontologies and data sources
- Evolution in ontology management: merging, versioning, alignment,
integration
- Fault diagnosis and repair in ontologies and data sources
- Knowledge resources archiving and versioning

---------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

Submission of regular and position papers is possible:
- Regular papers (10-12 pages in length including references) include
research reports and surveys.
- Position papers (6 pages in length including references) are intended for
presentation of interesting new open issues and challenges, and opinions on
the status of the field.

All papers must be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format and must follow
the IOS Press formatting guidelines (available at
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/j_7qCZY1WDcXXjlRfKsmNd?domain=iospress.nl.
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair:
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/R_yFC1WL9zSLLZ3mIXArNl?domain=easychair.org

Articles and abstracts accepted at JOWO workshops will be published by CEUR
workshop proceedings IAOA series. (For previous editions of the JOWO
proceedings, see https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/oFuiC2xM9AU00m1GI9055w?domain=iaoa.org).
