   formatting guidelines [7] should specify:

   * What is the research background and application context of the
     demonstration?
   * What exactly will be demonstrated? What exactly will a visitor of
     the demonstration learn?
   * For whom is it most interesting / useful?
   * What are the key technologies used and what are the technical
     challenges addressed?
   * How does the demonstrated system, application or infrastructure
     relate to pre-existing work and why is it a novel showcase in
     ontology research?
