ONTOLOGY FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY

CALL FOR PAPERS

Submissions are invited of short papers in pdf format (up to 6 pages) designed to serve as the basis for 20-minute oral presentations at the conference. Accepted papers will be published (at speaker discretion) in the proceedings. The authors of selected papers will be invited to submit longer versions for publication in Volume 2 of the series on Semantic Technology, Information Sharing and Intelligence Analysis.

Papers may address a wide variety of issues addressing the ontology needs of the intelligence community.

We are especially interested in papers on the following topics:
• Ontologies and reasoning under conditions of uncertainty
• Ontological issues related to source credibility and evidential pedigree
• Ontological issues related to the use of images and other kinds of sensing devices
• Creating an interoperable suite of public-domain ontologies relevant to intelligence analysis covering areas such as:
• Social networks
• Ethnicity, religion and politics;
• Spatial and temporal phenomena
• Conditions that foster or inhibit outbreak of violence
• Infrastructure
• Biology and health
• Emergency response
• Usability issues relating to semantic technology
