Call for Papers
International Semantic Web Workshop (SWWS)
"Infrastructure and Applications
for the Semantic Web"
http://www.SemanticWeb.org/SWWS
in cooperation with the OntoWeb network
supported in part by the National Science Foundation (application pending)
in cooperation with DARPA DAML
in cooperation with ICCS 2001 and DL 2001
Stanford, CA, USA
July 30-31 2001
Call for Papers:
The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data on the Web defined and
linked in a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes,
but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications.
In order to make this vision a reality for the Web, supporting standards,
technologies and policies must be designed to enable machines to make more
sense of the Web, with the result of making the Web more useful for humans.
Facilities and technologies to put machine-understandable data on the Web are
rapidly becoming a high priority for many communities. For the Web to scale,
programs must be able to share and process data even when these programs have
been designed totally independently. The Web can reach its full potential
only if it becomes a place where data can be shared and processed by
automated tools as well as by people.
On the technology side, Web-enabled languages and technologies are being
developed (e.g. RDF-Schema, DAML+OIL, DAML-Rules, Rule-ML), schema and
ontology integration techniques are being examined and refined and Web
Services Integration Standards are being defined (e.g. UDDI, JINI). The
success of the Semantic Web will depend on a widespread adoption of these
technologies. The workshop is dedicated to groups willing to contribute to the
Semantic Web. Its expected outcome is a better common knowledge and synergy,
of those wishing to develop new exciting basic technology and applications for
the Semantic Web. It should guide the future coallitions for enabling future
standard to be adopted worldwide. We thus solicit contributions to the
foregoing Semantic Web infrastructure and content as well as contributions
about innovative applications taking advantage of this infrastructure.
These application proposals are also expected to provide requirements for the
core technology developers and standardization efforts.
Suggested topics include:
Searching the Semantic Web
Use of Semantic Web Languages and XML/RDF Infrastructure
Metadata and Ontologies
Semantic Web for e-learning and e-science (molecular data, geographic
information systems, and digital libraries)
Semantic Web for e-business and Large-scale Knowledge Management
Semantic Web and Mobile, Situated and Diffuse Computing
Semantic Web and Multimedia Data
Knowledge Portals
Agent Communication and Applications in the Semantic Web
Semantic Web Bootstrapping and Growth Models
Technological Requirements for Semantic Web Applications
Schedule
Submission deadline: April 15th, 2001
Notification of acceptance: May 15th, 2001
Camera (Web)-ready: June 15th, 2001
Workshop: July 30th-July 31st, 2001
Submission Format
Contributions are invited in the form of a full paper (max. 20 pages). The
title page should include name, affiliation, and e-mail address of the
contributor.
Papers will be judged on their contribution to the discussion, and some will
be selected for presentation. Papers have to be submitted electronically (in
HTML or PDF) to J�r�me Euzenat (Email: [email protected]).
Further publication in a Journal is under negotiation.
