Content
The 2019 edition of the DAO-SI Workshop will be a track of the 5th edition of the Joint Ontology Workshops, Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), which will be held in Graz, Austria, 23-25 September 2019.
The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) is a venue of workshops that, together, address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics.
Following the 2017 edition, the goal of the 2019 edition of DAO-SI is to provide opportunities for stakeholders from the academia, industry and public organisations to present their latest developments in ontology-mediated data integration, data access and analysis techniques, and data-driven applications, with a special focus on Science and Innovation (S&I) data management for decision and policy-making. Currently, the most significant S&I data elements are dispersed across a multitude of distinct actors and institutions or are in third-party repositories. They are often neither in structured format nor systematically shared across organisations, and the universe of data on publications, citations, and patents (among others) is typically maintained into closed-off silos.
In such a context, ontology-mediated data management platforms can help bringing together (raw and processed) information from a variety of sources in an open and interoperable fashion. An appropriate usage of metadata, as well as the specification of structured procedures for data publishing, privacy and data protection policies, intuitive and user-friendly methods for data access and re-use, are all still missing elements, even when the data we are dealing with are meant to be 'open' (see, The 2017 Global Report of Open Data Barometer). The workshop will be a great opportunity to synthesise new insights and disseminate knowledge across field boundaries to promote the interaction between the different stakeholders.
We welcome original contributions, in the form of discussion papers, experimental contributions, system and demo descriptions, about data management applications that make use of ontologies and ontology-based tools for S&I decision and policy-making, including but not limited to:
*Ontology-based systems for Open Science and Innovation*
- Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) ontology specification and management: open issues and experiences
- Ontology-based harmonisation of STI Subject Classification Systems
- Ontologies for STI qualitative data management (e.g., policy instruments, target populations, technology sector coverage, surveys and policies assessment)
- Machine learning and ontology engineering coupling experiences to improve quantity and quality of STI indicators
- Ontology-mediated data management platforms for impact evaluation
- Mapping specifications
- Inspection and Debugging
- Exploratory tools over linked data repositories for non-technical users
- User context-sensitive data interlinking and personalisation
- Usability and acceptance by stakeholders in the open science and innovation ecosystems
- Innovative solutions for publishing statistical and multi-dimensional linked data
- RDF-based analytics framework for STI studies
- STI Data science and semantic technologies

Submission Guidelines
Papers should be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format following IOS Press formatting guidelines (downloadable here). Papers should be uploaded via Easy Chair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2019
Articles will be published by CEUR workshop proceedings. See previous editions here.
Submission of an article should be regarded as an agreement that, should the article be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the workshop to present the work.
We accept submissions of 5-10 pages in length (including bibliography) of the following types:
- submissions describing original unpublished work, neither submitted to, nor accepted for, any other venue;
- descriptions of ongoing research and projects, preliminary approaches, position papers;
- extended abstracts of full papers that have been published previously (notice that the full paper must be explicitly referenced in the submission);
- extended abstracts of full papers that are currently under revision for a different venue (i.e., a conference or a journal); when a submissions is of this type, this must be explicitly indicated in the abstract.
