"Special Track on Ontology Lifecycle Methods -
Algorithms for Ontology Learning, Evolution and Mining"
This one-day special track takes place during TRIPLE-I '08 in Graz, Austria
(3 - 5 September 2008) as part of I-SEMANTICS '08. The Special Track provides
an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to
discuss various aspects of Ontology Lifecycle Methods (OLM).

Encoding human knowledge is one of the crucial tasks to be mastered towards
the realization of the Semantic Web. Knowledge is never static in a changing
world therefore a representation must evolve over time. The Ontology
Lifecycle involves all steps necessary for ontology creation, validation,
evolution and application in a dynamic environment.
The special track will focus on automatic and semi-automatic algorithms and
methods as well as their evaluation in the fields of Ontology Learning,
Population, Evaluation, Matching and Alignment.
Submissions about data source/corpus analysis and application of web data
sources for ontology learning, population and evolution are also very
welcome. Quantitative ontology analysis, graph property extraction and graph
mining methods as well as trend identification in evolving ontologies are
aims of high interest within the ontology lifecycle and therefore part of
this special track.
We invite contributions to enhance state-of-the-art methods and algorithms for
the ontology lifecycle. Topics include but are not limited to:
* Ontology Lifecycle Algorithm and Methods
* Ontology Learning
* Ontology Population
* Ontology Versioning and Evolution
* Semantic Interoperability
* Ontology Matching and Alignment
* Change propagation within the Ontology Evolution Process
* Formal Aspects and Languages
* Applications and Tools
* Tools for the Ontology Lifecycle
* Visualisations of the Ontology Lifecycle
* Knowledge Relationship Discovery
* Information Retrieval for Ontology Learning and Evolution
* Machine Learning Techniques
* Graph Mining Algorithms and Methods
The special track is open to all members of the Semantic Web, Ontology
Learning, Machine Learning and Information Retrieval community.
