As ontolo gies are used in more domains and applications and as they grow in size, the consequences of bad ont ology design become more critical. Bad ontologies may be inconsistent, have unwanted consequences, b e ridden with anti-patterns, or simply be incompre hensible. In general, bad ontologies present desig n mistakes that make their use and maintenance pro blematic or impossible.
\n\nThis workshop, part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2 019), aims to bring together research on all aspec ts to bad or good ontology design, including use c ases and systematic reviews of bad or good ontolog y design, techniques and tools for diagnosing, exp laining, and repairing bad ontologies, and approac hes or benchmarks for evaluating such techniques.< /p>\n
We welcome original contrib utions about all topics related to bad or good ont ologies, including but not limited to: - systemati c analysis of ontologies for symptoms of bad ontol ogy design - cataloguing of symptoms of bad ontolo gy design - methods for detecting or explaining sy mptoms - metrics and methods to gauge ontology qua lity - design methods that likely result in bad on tologies - principled methods to avoid building ba d ontologies - benchmarks of bad or good ontologie s for evaluating diagnostic and repairing methods.
\n\nSubmissions should be uploaded via Ea syChair. They can be accepted for publication as s hort papers (between 5 - 7 pages) or regular paper s (between 10 - 12 pages).
