The Seventh Australasian
Ontology Workshop

5th DECEMBER 2011

NEW: LINKING OPEN DATA TUTORIAL, SLIDES AVAILABLE HERE

 Advances in Ontologies:

The use of formal ontologies in knowledge systems has many advantages. It allows for an unambiguous specification of the structure of knowledge in a domain, enables knowledge sharing and, as a result, makes it possible to perform automated reasoning about ontologies. In recent years there has been a worldwide increase in the use of ontologies, both in industry and in research laboratories. There is a growing community of researchers in the Australasian region working on various aspects of ontologies. The primary aim of this workshop is to bring together ontology researchers in the region.

Held in conjunction with the 24th Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI 2011)


AOW2011 will be held at Murdoch University, South Street campus.
