<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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).<span style=""> </span>It is based on Manchester's well-known "Pizza tutorial" (see http://www.co-ode.org). </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">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 practical 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. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Since 2003 this tutorial, in various forms, has been given over 30 times and been attended by hundreds of budding ontologists.</span></span></span></span></p>
