The usage of ontologies on the Internet has been studied and discussed since the introduction of the Semantic Web. However many open issues still need to be tackled. Specifically we are interested in finding solutions to fill the gap between unstructured data, represented by the Web pages, and the formal knowledge, represented in ontologies. The ultimate goal is to develop and deploy semantically-aware applications that can be processed by software systems or agents. This research would contribute to the realization of the next generation of the Web, the Web 3.0, in which we expect to develop tools that are able to extract semantically related facts from aggregated information. The power of ontologies will be fully exploited only when we are able to provide non-expert users with tools and interfaces to use them in seamless fashion. This includes the processes of building, applying and maintaining them using automatic techniques.
The following key questions are on the focus of the intended:
- In the context of the Web, how can we automate the process of maintaining an ontology, so that it remains up to date with respect to the domain knowledge it represents?
- What kinds of tools do we need to provide non-expert users with to enable them to use ontologies?
- How can we reuse domain ontologies from different repositories?
The First International Workshop on Ontologies on the Web, WEBONT 2010, represents an opportunity to discuss both the state of the art and future research directions for the use of ontologies on the Web. The workshop is open to both research and industrial contributions. We solicit papers that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Repositories of ontologies
- Ontology search engines
- Ontology-driven Web applications
- Ontology-based knowledge management
- Intelligent support for ontology construction
- Intelligent support for ontology reuse and adaptation
- Ontology use for semantic markup

Posters
Posters are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as poster. Submissions are expected to be 6-8 slide deck. Posters will not be published in the Proceedings. One poster with all the slides together should be used for discussions. Presenters will be allocated a space where they can display the slides and discuss in an informal manner. The poster slide decks will be posted on the IARIA site.
For more details, see the Posters explanation page.
Work in Progress
Work-in-progress contributions are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as work in progress. Authors should submit a four-page (maximum) text manuscript in IEEE double-column format including the authors' names, affiliations, email contacts. Contributors must follow the conference deadlines, describing early research and novel skeleton ideas in the areas of the conference topics. The work will be published in the conference proceedings.
For more details, see the Work in Progress explanation page
Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations
The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will not be published in the conference’s CD Proceedings. Presentations' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org.
Tutorials
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals should be for three hour tutorials. Proposals must contain the title, the summary of the content, and the biography of the presenter(s). The tutorials' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org
Panel proposals:
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. The panel's slide deck will be posted on the IARIA's site.
