The goal of the workshop was to bring together people from the context and ontology communities and to discuss the approaches they use for information integration. Therefore, the workshop pushed the cross-fertilization and exchange of ideas (for example, which of the methods from the ontology community can be successfully adopted in the context community, and vice versa). Topics covered include (1) Foundations (including coordination of multiple contexts and ontologies; meaning negotiation of multiple contexts and ontologies; languages for combination of multiple contexts and ontologies; and logics for combination of multiple contexts and ontologies). (2) Theory and practice (including techniques and tools for matching contexts and ontologies; techniques and tools for merging contexts and ontologies; techniques and tools for transforming contexts and ontologies; benchmarking of tools for integration of contexts and ontologies; and comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies). (3) Applications (including the semantic web; DB model management; e-commerce; multimedia; and pervasive computing).
