                     OntoLex 2005 - Ontologies and Lexical Resources

                             http://www.ilc.cnr.it/ontolex2005

                                     IJCNLP-05 Workshop

                             October 15, 2005 Jeju Island, South Korea

    Background and Goals

    The new framework of Information Society fostered the growing of the HLT
    area and the project of turning the World Wide Web into a machine
    understandable resource to access digital information (the so-called
    Semantic Web), posing new challenges for integrated technologies.
    Lexicographers, lexical semanticists and ontologists are joining forces to
    build innovative systems for integrating ontological knowledge with lexical
    and semantic resources. Important examples of this interaction are the
    recent works on the conceptual analysis of WordNet, and the wide use of
    upper ontologies in innovative international projects like EuroWordNet,
    SIMPLE, Balkanet, DWDSnet, etc.
    OntoLex 2005 will be the fourth workshop on Ontologies and Lexical
    Knowledge Bases, following OntoLex 2000, 2002, and 2004. In this workshop
    we want to discuss the relation between ontological knowledge and language.
    A special focus will be on the role of ontologies in multilingual language
    processing. This relation can be investigated from a number of different
    angles, for example:
    - what differences and similarities there are between ontologies and more
    traditional lexical resources such as dictionaries and wordnets;
    - how ontologies can be extracted from language corpora;
    - what role language plays in the definition and mapping of ontologies;
    - how to enrich semantic information in wordnets using formal tools;
    - how ontologies can be used to treat language in language technology
    applications.
    Ontologies and lexical resources can benefit from each other and converge
    into a unified framework where semantics is provided by formally rigorous
    ontological and lexical information.

    Topics of interests

    The workshop is open to any research contribution dealing with the relation
    between ontologies and lexicons. Topics of interest include, but are not
    limited to:
    * Design principles and methodologies for ontologies and semantic lexical
    resources, with a special focus on Asian languages
    * Evaluation, comparison, mapping and integration of ontologies and lexical
    semantic resources
    * The role of ontologies in the development of Inter-Lingual-Index (ILI)
    * Applications of ontologies and lexical semantic resources in Information
    Retrieval and Information Extraction;
    * Use of ontologies and lexical resources in Semantic Web applications
    * Role of lexical semantic resources in ontology learning
    * Ontology-based query expansion techniques
    * Ontologies and multi-lingual lexical resources
    * Ontologies and lexical resources for meaning negotiation
