KI-2001 Workshop on Applications of Description Logics

Vienna, Austria

September 18, 2001



NEW: The workshop program is now available. Electronic versions of the papers can be downloaded from CEUR.

Scope of the Workshop

Recently, a growing interest in description logics and their applications can be observed. This is mainly due to the development of very expressive description logics and optimized description logic systems which support terminological and/or assertional reasoning for these logics. This workshop intends to gather researchers as well as practitioners who are interested in description logics and their applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on applications of description logics. Topics of special interest include: The workshop notes will be made available in printed form and have also appeared as Volume 44 of CEUR proceedings.
