The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics
for Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE'04) provides a forum on
ontologies and data semantics that is inclusive of the many computing
disciplines involved in developing the "semantic" web.
In order to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and
practitioners, ODBASE'04 is part of the Federated Symposium Event "On
the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2004" that co-locates three
conferences: Data and Web Semantics (ODBASE'04); Distributed Objects,
Infrastructure and Enabling Technology and Internet Computing
(DOA'04); and Workflow, Cooperation, and Interoperability (CoopIS'04).
Of particular relevance to ODBASE 2004 are papers that bridge
traditional boundaries between disciplines such as databases,
artificial intelligence, networking, computational linguistics, and
mobile computing. ODBASE 2004 also encourages the submission of
research and practical experience papers concerning scale issues in
ontology management, information integration, and data mining, as well
as papers that examine the information needs of various applications,
including electronic commerce, electronic government, mobile systems,
and bioinformatics.
ODBASE 2004 will consider two categories of papers: research and
experience. Research papers must contain novel, unpublished results.
Experience papers must describe existing, real-world scale systems;
preference will be given to papers that describe software products or
systems that are in wide experimental use.
Specific areas of interest to ODBASE'04 include but are not limited to:
Management of Semantically-Expressive Information
Knowledge Acquisition and Representation
Ontology Languages and Specification
Ontology Extraction, Learning and Evolution
