Notification of acceptance:  August 31st, 2006

Organizing committee:

Ontologies play an important role in a variety of text technological
applications. Due to the fact that hand-crafted ontologies are tedious
to develop, automatic generation, dynamic adaptations, and learning of
ontologies are desirable. The type of knowledge that is available for
solving these tasks is often restricted to syntactic information. The
workshop addresses and focuses on the question of how it is possible
to
extract semantic knowledge for ontology design by structurally given
information. Examples of applications are (but are not limited to)
knowledge acquisition from the semantic web, aspects of hypertexts,
expert systems, document management, and discourse processing.

Submission procedure:
Extended Abstracts should be between 3 and max. 6 pages of length
(including figures, tables, and references), single-spaced Springer
LNCS
style pages. Only electronic submissions will be considered (formats:
PostScript, PDF) sent to kkuehnbe@uos.de. Based on accepted extended
abstracts authors will be asked to submit full papers (after the
conference took place) that will be published as a special issue in
"GLDV-Journal for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology".
