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 style="margin: 0px"><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51)">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 a 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>
