More and more information extraction (IE) systems use ontologies for extraction tasks. These systems use knowledge representation techniques for extracting information from unstructured or semi-structured domains more efficiently.
The advantages of these procedures are especially an increase of quality in IE-templates, reusability, and maintainability. Ontologies in IE may provide new techniques for supporting open tasks of semantic analyses regarding for instance temporal analyses, resolution of contradiction, or context awareness.
There are several open research topics about ontology-based information extraction, for instance a proven architecture, evaluation guidelines regarding the use of ontologies, or ontologies vs. templates.

Workshop submissions will be electronic, in pdf format only. Please follow this link to EasyChair:http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=obies2008.
Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in Springer LNCS format. Please consult us, if this appears to be a problem. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the contribution in order to be published in the workshop proceedings. The OBIES 2008 organizers intend to publish workshop papers online at http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-400/.
Those wishing to participate by providing a live system demonstration or presenting an extended abstract or position paper should submit a poster about 4 pages.
