The 5th meeting of the OntoWeb SIG on Ontology Language Standards will be devoted to a

WORKSHOP ON OWL IMPLEMENTATION EXPERIENCES

Saturday 18th October

Sundial Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA

(in conjunction with ISWC2003)


OWL has now achieved W3C Candidate Recommendation status (see http://www.w3.org/2003/08/owl-pressrelease.html.en), and the language is stable enough for implementors to invest serious effort.

In fact, a number of tools have already been constructed: reasoners, parsers, validators, editors, and API's (see, e.g., the implementation report at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/impls).

The goal of this meeting is both to learn about individual tool implementations, and to share experiences on what is easy and what is hard in realising such OWL implementations. For example:

We sollicit contributions on both finished and on-going implementation efforts.
