Call for Papers - Workshop on Ontology Patterns (WOP2009)

This workshop provides an arena for proposing and discussing good 
practices, patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems etc. The aim is 
to broaden the pattern community that will develop its own "language" 
for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. The 
workshop will be held in conjunction with ISWC2009 on October 25th. It 
will be a full-day workshop consisting of three parts; papers, posters, 
and "pattern writing" sessions.
