<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">We invite submissions to the 11th Workshop on Ontology Design and Patterns (WOP2020) to be held in conjunction with the International Semantic
Web Conference (ISWC) that will take place in Athens from Nov. 2 to 6, 2020. WOP2020 is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations, a poster session, and an interactive breakout discussion session.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">The workshop aims to discuss issues of quality in ontology design. In particular, it focuses on the role and use of ontology design patterns (ODPs)
for data and knowledge engineering in the Semantic Web, as related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. The increased attention to ODPs in recent years through their interaction with emerging trends of Semantic Web such as knowledge graphs can be
attributed to their benefit for knowledge engineers and Semantic Web developers. Such benefits come in the form of direct link to requirements, reuse, guidance, and better communication. The workshop’s aim is to: 1) provide an arena for discussing patterns,
pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, and 2) broaden the pattern community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions.</span><br>

<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">We particularly welcome contributions on topics concerning development of high-quality ontologies in general (with or without the help of ODPs)
as well as studies and applications of ODPs for knowledge graph construction and maintenance. In addition, as usual we also welcome pattern descriptions of all sorts, including patterns geared towards applications in specific domains such as geosciences, biomedical
science, digital humanities, or e-commerce. The main topics of interest are:</span><br>
