*Track: Semantics, Ontologies, intelligence and Intelligent Systems
(SIGODIS)Mini-track 3: Ontologies in Information Systems*
AMCIS 2017 Conference Theme: A Tradition of Innovation

Mini-track Description:



Tim Berners-Lee et. al. presented a vision of the Semantic Web in 2001 that
captured semantics within computerized systems, thus creating a world full
of integrated and intelligent systems. Developments such as Description
Logics (DLs) and the semantic web language specifications RDF(S) and OWL2
lead to the concept of an ‘ontology’, which is a term widely used to
describe an artefact that captures domain knowledge using standardised,
computerized languages so that applications could use and reason over the
knowledge base. This mini-track is primarily concerned with the
development, adoption use and application of ontologies or any semantic
languages such as RDF(s) and OWL, as well as the associated technologies
(such as querying, reasoning and reasoners) within information systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

·       Ontology-driven Information Systems;

·       Capturing IS semantics with ontologies;

·       Ontologies in or for Information Systems;

·       Ontology integration and systems architecture;

·       Meta-data development and applications;

·       Ontology querying and reasoning;

·       Ontology reuse;

·       Ontology engineering;

·       Upper, domain and application ontologies;

·       Specialized domain ontologies (e.g. enterprise ontology) ;

·       Ontology tools and technologies;

·       Ontology-driven systems development and systems development
methodologies.
