AOW 2009 is the fifth in a series of workshops on ontologies held in the Australasian region.

The primary aim of the workshop is to bring together active researchers in the broad area of ontologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Ontology models and theories
- Ontologies and the Semantic Web
- Interoperability in ontologies
- Ontologies and Multi-agent systems
- Description logics for ontologies
- Reasoning with ontologies
- Ontology harvesting on the web
- Ontology of agents and actions
- Ontology visualisation
- Ontology engineering and management
- Ontology-based information extraction and retrieval
- Ontology merging, alignment and integration
- Web ontology languages
- Formal concept analysis and ontologies
- Ontologies for e-research
- Linking open data
- Significant ontology applications

The proceedings of the four previous workshops were published as volumes in the Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT) series (http://crpit.com/), and this will again be the case for AOW 2009. As with the previous workshops, we are investigating the possibility of extended versions
of selected papers appearing in a special issue of a suitable journal.

Submission information such as format etc. can be found on the CRPIT website: http://crpit.com/AuthorsSubmitting.html. The page limit is 10 pages.

Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: 25 September 2009
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 23 October 2009
Camera-ready copies due: 13 November 2009
