===============================================

First IAOA Summer Institute in Applied Ontology
Firenze, Italy
July 17-23, 2011
Topic: Process Ontology and its Applications
in the human environment, in engineering, and 
in business

FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

===============================================

The International Association for Applied Ontology (www.iaoa.org), in cooperation with the Vespucci Initiative (www.vespucci.org), organizes its first Summer Institute in Applied Ontology in Florence, Italy, on July 17-23, 2011. Applications will close soon.

The IAOA promotes interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science, and applications of ontological analysis more generally. 

This first Summer Institute in Applied Ontology will focus on the topic of Process Ontology and its applications to the analysis of processes in the human environment, in engineering, and in business. 

The Summer Institute facilitators will be:
Antony Galton (University of Exeter, UK)
Michael Gruninger (University of Toronto, Canada)
Werner Kuhn (University of Muenster, Germany)
David Mark (State University of New York at Buffalo, USA).

Date: July 17-23, 2011, Process Ontology: http://vespucci.org/programme 

Venue: Firenze, Italy (see http://vespucci.org/presentation)

Accommodation: hotel, bed and breakfast, or camp ground in Fiesole (20 minutes by bus from Firenze; shuttle bus or car to venue)
Application: at vespucci.org and www.iaoa.org, until the end of April, 2011.
Notification of acceptance: continuing.
Grants may be available for participants with special financial needs, if these are stated and justified in the application.

Goals and Contents:
Understanding processes has become one of the key challenges to society: how much does our climate change, and why? how can deforestation of the Amazon be put under control? how can manufacturing processes be optimized? Process ontology provides the theory, tools, and techniques to analyze processes and to improve the design and use of information systems that support human decisions in dynamic situations. The institute will feature tutorials on ontology, progressing into research discussions and group work on the ontological analysis of processes.

Participants will learn to:
- apply basic ontological distinctions and formal ontology;
- sort out the different kinds of things that go under the name "process";
- identify spatio-temporal patterns underlying processes;
- understand implications of choosing between three- and four-dimensionalism
- relate existing process ontologies to each other;
- specify complex states, processes and events in terms of simpler ones;
- design domain-specific process ontologies (e.g. in manufacturing, e-commerce, geography, biology) from more generic ontologies.

Call for papers for LHD-11 workshop at IJCAI-11, July 2011, Barcelona:

Discovering Meaning On the Go in Large & Heterogeneous Data

http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/lhd-11/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An interdisciplinary approach is necessary to discover and match meaning
dynamically in a world of increasingly large data.  This workshop aims
to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government
for interaction and discussion.  The workshop will feature:

*  A panel discussion representing industrial and governmental input,
entitled "Big Society meets Big Data: Industry and Government
Applications of Mapping Meaning".  Panel members will include:
 *  Peter Mika (Yahoo!)
 *  Alon Halevy (Google)
 *  Tom McCutcheon (Dstl)
 *  (tbc)
*  An invited talk from Fausto Giunchglia, discussing the relationship
between social computing and ontology matching;
*  Paper and poster presentations;
*  Workshop sponsored by: Yahoo! Research, W3C and others

Workshop Description

The problem of semantic alignment - that of two systems failing to
understand one another when their representations are not identical -
occurs in a huge variety of areas: Linked Data, database integration,
e-science, multi-agent systems, information retrieval over structured
data; anywhere, in fact, where semantics or a shared structure are
necessary but centralised control over the schema of the data sources is
undesirable or impractical. Yet this is increasingly a critical problem
in the world of large scale data, particularly as more and more of this
kind of data is available over the Web.

In order to interact successfully in an open and heterogeneous
environment, being able to dynamically and adaptively integrate large
and heterogeneous data from the Web "on the go" is necessary. This may
not be a precise process but a matter of finding a good enough
integration to allow interaction to proceed successfully, even if a
complete solution is impossible.

Considerable success has already been achieved in the field of ontology
matching and merging, but the application of these techniques - often
developed for static environments - to the dynamic integration of
large-scale data has not been well studied.

Presenting the results of such dynamic integration to both end-users and
database administrators - while providing quality assurance and
provenance - is not yet a feature of many deployed systems. To make
matters more difficult, on the Web there are massive amounts of
information available online that could be integrated, but this
information is often chaotically organised, stored in a wide variety of
data-formats, and difficult to interpret.

This area has been of interest in academia for some time, and is
becoming increasingly important in industry and - thanks to open data
efforts and other initiatives - to government as well. The aim of this
workshop is to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and
government who are involved in all aspects of this field: from those
developing, curating and using Linked Data, to those focusing on
matching and merging techniques.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Integration of large and heterogeneous data
* Machine-learning over structured data
* Ontology evolution and dynamics
* Ontology matching and alignment
* Presentation of dynamically integrated data
* Incentives and human computation over structured data and ontologies
* Ranking and search over structured and semi-structured data
* Quality assurance and data-cleansing
* Vocabulary management in Linked Data
* Schema and ontology versioning and provenance
* Background knowledge in matching
* Extensions to knowledge representation languages to better support change
* Inconsistency and missing values in databases and ontologies
* Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation
* Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., p2p, agents, streaming)
* Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications
* Open problems
* Foundational issues
Applications and evaluations on data-sources that are from the Web and
Linked Data are particularly encouraged.

Submission

LHD-11 invites submissions of both full length papers of no more than 6
pages and position papers of 1-3 pages. Authors of full-papers which are
considered to be both of a high quality and of broad interest to most
attendees will be invited to give full presentations; authors of more
position papers will be invited to participate in "group panels" and in
a poster session.

All accepted papers (both position and full length papers) will be
published as part of the IJCAI workshop proceedings, and will be
available online from the workshop website. After the workshop, we will
be publishing a special issue of the Artificial Intelligence Review and
authors of the best quality submissions will be invited to submit
extended versions of their papers (subject to the overall standard of
submissions being appropriately high).

All contributions should be in pdf format and should be uploaded via
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lhd11. Authors should follow
the IJCAI author instructions
http://ijcai-11.iiia.csic.es/calls/formatting_instructions.

hi

how can I enable simple public stickies and text highlighting on my own web page in my own website, without requiring users to register or login?

thanks

Re: Still alive?

Stephen Crawley — 2010-03-22T07:14:50

Laurian,

Another option that you should consider is Danno.

Danno is an Annotea server implementation that persists annotations to a 
local triple store (currently Sesame or Jena SDB or RDB).  Danno also 
implements OAI-PMH, and number of annotation query extensions.  The 
accompanying Dannotate tool is a multi-browser annotation tool that 
supports text and image annotation and has an experimental "live 
updates" mechanism.

There are public demo pages for Danno and Dannotate at 
http://maenad.itee.uq.edu.au/danno/ and 
http://maenad.itee.uq.edu.au/danno/dannotate.html

The Maven site for Danno and Dannotate (and related projects) are online 
at http://metadata.net/sf.html and the software is available from 
SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/metadata-net/

Danno is currently being used by the Atlas of Living Australia and the 
Aus-e-lit project, as well as in some internal projects.  And the 
codebase is under active development.  (We're currently working on 
access control and user management aspects, and there are other 
developments on the horizon.)

Having implemented an annotation server on top of some other server system

server, but the user interaction. I can probably do that with userJS,  
although I am not sure about creating Xpointers (i.e. that would require  
me actually learning new stuff).

If anyone is interested in it as a project I'll happily explain better  
what I am thinking.

The binary files are checked in to CVS too, so it may be that make 
didn't see the need to rebuild them. I thought that the checked-in 
versions were correct, but perhaps there's some problem with them. (Or 
maybe it's another issue altogether - it just seems the most likely 
problem.)


OK, great. There's an annozilla mailing list, bugzilla etc at

Hi Matthew,

I had intended to write that part myself. I was mostly looking for  
something that implemented the Annotea interface so I wasn't starting  
from scratch. I'll keep you apprised of my progress!

Thanks,

Probably there was a problem with the binary components. I've updated 
the extension now so that it is marked as compatible with 3.6. I'll look 
at annozilla/annotations later.

That isn't something which annozilla does.

I haven't looked at making them FF3.6 compatible yet, partly because 
there didn't seem to be any interest.

Is there any installable Annotea server anymore? hmmm, if I were you I would
build my own Annozilla-like extension (over xpointerlib), that would follow
http://www.openannotation.org style and persist the data in a remote triple
store installation like 4store.org or on a hosted RDF storage like the Talis
platform.

BTW, check http://citability.org and their annotation backend

Okay, got xpointerlib+annotations+annozilla installed (for some reason  
it didn't like my XPI builds). Objective is transparent FF bookmarking  
-> my own Annotea server.

Ideas? :)

Odd, I just pulled it (along with Annozilla, annotations) from CVS  
because their install.rdf files wouldn't allow FF 3.6.  
nsIXPointerService does not seem to get registered. I don't have a lot  
of experience diagnosing FF extensions, so that's the best I can say.

AFAIK http://xpointerlib.mozdev.org/ (offspring of Annozilla) works
perfectly if you need to build things on XPointer; I recently used it within
Mozilla Ubiquity and Mozilla Jetpack.

Hello,

I was wondering what the status on this work was. In particular, how
obsolete are the Mozilla/Firefox extensions?

Thanks,

Annotated "Annotea protocol" document.

Folks,

Partly as a service to people interested in Annotea, and partly as an 
exercise in "dog fooding", I have turned my "comments" on the Annotea 
protocol document into Annotations in our demo Danno server.  You can 
view the annotated document using this URL:

    
http://maenad.itee.uq.edu.au/danno/repeater.svc?a=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2001%2FAnnotea%2FUser%2FProtocol.html&e

To see the Annotation bodies, hover over the colored tags.  You can 
click on a tag to "pin" the Annotation window, and thence create your 
own Replies.

If you want to add a new Annotation, go to 
http://maenad.itee.uq.edu.au/danno/dannotate.html and follow the 
instructions.  Ditto for annotating other web pages.
