Apologies if you've already seen this call for papers, "Workshop on Application
of Semantic Web Technologies to Web Communities" in Valencia, Spain in
August.
Deadline for call is April 15th (but don't let this delay you from filing your tax return, US citizens!). Joe -------- Original Message --------
CALL
FOR PAPERS ================================================== Workshop
on Application of Semantic Web Technologies to Web Communities http://www.nextwebgeneration.org/meetings/swpECAI04/ A
Knowledge Web workshop (http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org/) Workshop
at ECAI 2004 (http://www.dsic.upv.es/ecai2004/) 16th
European Conference on Artificial Intelligence August
22-27, 2004, Valencia, Spain ================================================== WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION Various
communities have taken advantage of the current Web functionalities to
strengthen the communication and information exchange not only within the
community, but also with external communities or individual users. Miscellaneous
web portals have appeared with the purpose of providing an open and effective
communication forum for their members. Nevertheless,
current Web technology presents serious limitations to make information
efficiently accessible for users. Moreover, users face the task of reading
the documents retrieved in order to extract the information desired. These
limitations naturally appear in existing Web communities based on this
technology, making information searching, accessing, extracting, interpreting
and processing a difficult and time-consuming task. In
this context, Semantic Web technologies can considerably improve the information
sharing process, overcoming the problems found in current Web communities
to search, access, extract, interpret and process information. In this
sense, Web communities based on Semantic Web technologies represent a natural
evolution of existing Web communities. The
workshop will provide a forum for workers in the fields of knowledge engineering,
knowledge management, knowledge representation, language technology, ontological
engineering, data, text and web mining and Semantic Web, to present their
latest results and to discuss the potential joint application of these
fields to Web communities, both analysing what has been achieved so far
and what are the next steps to accomplish. The aim is to provide a snapshot
of the state of the art and guidelines for further steps. INVITED
