Education: Writing Ontologies in the Web Ontology Language (OWL)
LOCALE: The National eScience Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland
DATES: May 21-22, 2008

This two-day introductory ‘hands-on’ workshop aims to provide attendees with both the theoretical foundations and practical experience to begin building OWL ontologies using the latest version of the Protégé-OWL tools (Protege4). It is based on Manchester's well-known "Pizza tutorial" (see http://www.co-ode.org).

This tutorial will cover the main conceptual parts of OWL through the hands-on building of an ontology of pizzas and their ingredients. A series of exercises take attendees through the process of conceptualizing the toppings found on a pizza; the entry of this classification into the Protégé environment; the description of many types of pizza. All this is set in the context of using automatic reasoning to check the consistency of the growing ontology and to use the reasoner to make queries about pizzas. Since 2003 this tutorial, in various forms, has been given over 20 times and been attended by hundreds of budding ontologists.
AIMS
The aims of this tutorial are to:

understand the use of ontologies

understand statements written in OWL;

understand the role of automatic reasoning in ontology building;

build an ontology and use a reasoner to draw inferences based on that ontology;

gain experience in the Protégé 4 ontology building environment;

gain insight into how OWL can play a role in semantic metadata.
