*** CALL FOR SPECIAL TRACK PAPERS: *** *** Rule- and Ontology-Based Data Access and Transformation *** http://2016.ruleml.org/calls/rule--and-ontology-based-data-access-and-transf...

Ontologies and rule systems, isolated and in combination, have established themselves as viable approaches to a number of pressing IT problems: giving both humans and client software (e.g. data analysis) intuitive, domain-oriented, uniform access to data; integrating multiple data sets with heterogeneous schemas; migrating data from legacy systems, etc.

This track solicits contributions on theoretical and practical aspects of rule- and ontology-based data access and transformation.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

include, but are not limited to:

• Logics and rule languages of particular interest to data access or transformation
• Tractability and intractability results for rule- and ontology-based systems in the presence of large amounts of data
• Interactions between rules and ontologies in the presence of large amounts of data
• Rule- and ontology-based data integration
• Rules & reasoning for Linked Data
• Rule and ontology-driven user interfaces
• Implementations of rule- and ontology-based data access and transformation systems systems
• Reports on applications and lessons learnt
