Proceedings of the OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2012)
Preface
OWL is a logic-based ontology language standard designed to promote interoperability, partic- ularly in the context of the (Semantic) Web. The standard has encouraged the development of numerous OWL reasoning systems, and such systems are already key components of many applications.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together both developers and users of reasoners for (subsets of) OWL, including systems focusing on both intensional (ontology) and extensional (data) query answering.
The workshop provided several datasets to evaluate the standard tasks of the reasoning systems. Furthermore, participants also had the possibility to submit their systems using the SEALS platform1 in order to obtain standardised evaluations.
There were 16 papers submitted each of which was reviewed by at least three members of the program committee or additional reviewers. The program committee selected 14 papers for oral and poster presentation. Four reasoning systems were also submitted to the SEALS platform for evaluation: HermiT, FaCT++, jcel and WSReasoner. The evaluation results will be discussed with the authors during the workshop and published online shortly after it.2
Acknowledgements
We thank all members of the program committee, additional reviewers, authors and local organizers for their efforts. We would also like to acknowledge that the work of the work- shop organisers was greatly simplified by using the EasyChair conference management system (www.easychair.org) and the CEUR Workshop Proceedings publication service (http://ceur- ws.org/). The organisers were partially supported by the the EU FP7 project SEALS and by the EPSRC projects ConDOR, ExODA and LogMap.
