time	event	room
08:00 - 09:15	Breakfast and registration
09:15 - 18:00	Workshop: Evaluation of Ontology-based Tools chair(s): York Sure,Oscar Corcho,Jürgen Angele
09:15 - 18:00	Workshop: Human Language Technology for the Semantic Web and Web Services chair(s): Ying Ding,Hamish Cunningham,Atanas Kiryakov
09:15 - 18:00	Workshop: Rules and Rule Mark Up Languages for the Semantic Web chair(s): Michael Schroeder,Gerd Wagner
09:15 - 18:00	Agent-mediated web/grid services (Tutorial Track) Abstract: This tutorial brings together theories, challenges, issues, languages and tools from the Semantic Web, Web Services, the Computational Grid and Agent Technology. In addition, it will present challenges and issues of how Agent Technology can best serve human users in the area of Web Services. We will present the current state of the art in Web-Based Services and sort through the increasing array of relevant tools, languages and theories both from academia and industry. The tutorial will contain many examples to illustrate the described concepts, tools and their use. presenter(s): Terry Payne,Katia Sycara
09:15 - 13:15	Workshop: Practical and ScalableSemantic Systems chair(s): Stefan Decker,Raphael Volz,Isabel F. Cruz
09:15 - 13:15	Workshop: Semantic Integration chair(s): Natalya Noy,AnHai Doan,Alon Halevy
09:15 - 13:15	Workshop: Semantic Web Technologies chair(s): Naveen Ashish,Max J. Egenhofer,Carole A. Goble
09:15 - 13:15	Information Integration on the World Wide Web (Tutorial Track) Abstract: The overall goal of the tutorial is to discuss the relation between existing research in the area of intelligent information integration and new requirements and technologies that arise from the area of semantic web research. We would like to emphasize the importance of information integration on the World Wide Web in the context of providing intelligent access to heterogeneous and distributed information sources and intelligent services. We will provide an overview of existing solutions to the problem of information integration and extract common features in terms of architecture and technologies use in order to give potential attendees an impression of how successful approaches look like. Furthermore, we would like to stress how these common features relate to semantic web architecture and technology, revealing similarities and differences. Based on this comparison we discuss prospects and challenges for semantic web research in order to stimulate research in this area. presenter(s): Ubbo Visser,Holger Wache,Heiner Stuckenschmidt
09:15 - 13:15	Tutorial on OWL (Tutorial Track) Abstract: The goal of the tutorial will be to provide an introduction and a working knowledge of OWL, including the history and background of OWL, the formal underpinnings of OWL, and pragmatic issues related to OWL. The tutorial will also address the building and use of OWL ontologies along with a demonstration of the use of a reasoner with an OWL ontology. presenter(s): Sean Bechhofer,Peter F. Patel-Schneider,Ian Horrocks

14:00 - 18:00	WonderWeb
14:00 - 18:00	Creating Ontologies and Semantic Web Applications with Protégé (Tutorial Track) Abstract: The major goal of this tutorial is to provide the attendees with both the theoretical foundations of ontology design and hands-on experience in the construction of ontologies and semantic web contents with Protégé. In particular, the attendees will learn the basic principles and application domains of ontologies based on declarative knowledge representation systems, especially the semantic web language OWL. They will get hands-on experience with ontology development using Protégé, including its recent extensions such as OWL expression editors and classifiers. presenter(s): Natalya Noy,Holger Knublauch

14:30 - 15:30	InvitedTalk: On Beyond Ontology: Returning to AI from the Semantic Web chair(s): Katia Sycara Abstract: With the coming of OWL, the Web will soon have a recommended ontology language, many ontology-based tools, a large number of reference ontologies, and a large user community interested in what ontologies are and how to use them. In fact, it's beginning to look like we may be successful enough that as researchers we must ask ourselves the question "Why are we doing this?" As ontology on the Web becomes part of the "practice" of Web life, and the logic toolkits are produced by software companies instead of AI labs, where do we in the research world go? Many are familiar with Tim Berners-Lee's "layer cake" (or more recently the "Semantic Wave") which suggests moving to rules and proofs, but that's just the "language" stack. Time for us to think more about what we do with all this, how we explore the new ideas emerging from the pursuit and, perhaps most importantly of all, whether this Semantic Web stuff brings with it any insights into the most seminal scientific problem of all -- our quest to understand human intelligence. presenter(s): James Hendler	Sundial Room

14:30 - 15:30	InvitedTalk: Semantic Web: Where to direct our energy? (Invited talk) chair(s): Dieter Fensel Abstract: As a powerful melding of WWW and KR and related technologies, the semantic web is such a wide, all-encompassing notion that it is not obvious to its proponents where to direct their energy. Which parts of the roadmap will need encouragement, which will be eagerly funded and developed anyway? Which need more research, and which just need standards work to become ubiquitous? Are there areas which could come off the rails and derail the whole design if we get them wrong? In this talk, I will present choices that face researchers and practitioners and discuss a conceptual roadmap of the most exciting and useful prospects. presenter(s): Tim Berners-Lee	Sundial Room
