The benefits
of e-commerce cannot be exploited fully by consumers because
of the lack of trust and confidence in online cross-border purchases.
To achieve fair trading and transparency in commercial communications
and transactions, effective complaint mechanisms need to be
established and involved in e-business activities. This workshop
aims at bringing together academics, researchers, professionals
and industrial practitioners to discuss issues involved in modeling
ontology of cross-border business regulations, among other things
focusing on complaint regulations.
We seek original contributions on the following issues of interest,
but not limited to:
- Engineering of regulatory ontologies: Representation, Context,
Modularization,
L ayering, Reusability, Maintainability, Extensibility, etc;
-
Regulatory
metadata standards (legal-XML/LeXML, ADR/ODR-XML,...);
- Policies and complaint regulations in Policy RuleML.
- Ontologies of: complaints, complaint resolutions, complainants,
evidences, legal cases etc;
-
Sensitivity
on and harmonization of cross-border business regulations
in general;
-
Multilingual
and terminology aspects of regulatory ontologies;
-
Experiences
with projects and applications of regulatory ontologies;
We
invite papers of no more than 14 pages length (Springer style
format) describing original completed work, work in progress,
interesting problems or use cases, or trends in this research
area. Submitted papers will be fully refereed based on the originality
and significance of the ideas presented as well as on technical
aspects. Accepted papers will
be published by Springer-Verlag as a part of
Proceedings of the 2003 International Conference on Ontologies,
Databases and Applications of SEmantics (ODBASE).
Please
email your submission by 25-July-2003 in PDF or Postscript format
to Mustafa Jarrar (mjarrar(at)vub.ac.be)
AND Anne Salaun (anne.salaun(at)e-consult.be).
