Title: WEL presence at major HCI conference

The members of the Web Ergonomics Lab recently presented several papers at the major Human-Computer Interaction Conference, CHI 2014. CHI attracts around 3500 attendees from industry and academia every year and its technical programme is known to be the showcase of the year's breakthroughs in the field. The contributions of the WEL to the programme cover a broad range of topics, including ontology authoring. 

Ontologies are powerful tools to structure information in a variety of fields including medicine, geography or genetics. Building ontologies poses a number of challenges ontology authors have to tackle. 

"Design insights for the next wave ontology authoring tools" by Markel Vigo, Caroline Jay and Robert Stevens is a seminal paper on the intersection of HCI and ontology authoring that illustrates the problems encountered by ontologists and the strategies they employ. As a result,a set of design recommendations for ontology authoring tools are proposed.
