Re: Final CfP: Workshop on Human-Semantic Web Interaction (HSWI'14) , at ESWC2014

I wish I could help out, but I seriously hampered by Horizon 2020 Calls for project proposal deadlines. I might be able to comment on what you and others could put together.

anyone  up for co-authoring a short paper? 


'towards a high level specification for semantic web interfaces"

we have the outline in principle, I am extremely busy outdoors all week, with limited access, so I would need a serious hand or two to meet the deadline in three days - preferably someone who plans to be at the workshop in case its accepted

or I can put in abastract by myself, and send the paper next week or so, if this is acceptable

>To advance and consolidate the development of Semantic Web (SW) technologies and applications, a strong interdisciplinary approach is required. Amongst others, SW technologies imply new challenges for user interaction - and especially end user interaction - beyond those already posed by Web technologies and interactive systems in general. Some of the challenges to Semantic Web Interfaces are:
>
>* SW technologies provide a new set of innovative functionalities, which require equally innovative interfaces to be enjoyed
>* Interfaces are required for datasets of which the schemas are not yet fully known at design time
>* UIs for datasets where there is as much information in the links between the resources as in the resources themselves
>* Interfaces need to be able to deal with different levels of granularity of data and information.
>* UIs for information that is automatically derived from potentially incomplete and imperfect data
>* Control over data/information delivery, due to size and complexity of data sources
>
>The HSWI workshop aims to explore and evaluate good practices in interface design, and ultimately feed into possible recommendations for standardizing and consolidating knowledge and good practices into a set of guidelines for semantic web developers, to ensure the usability and reasonably functional user experiences of the next generation of Semantic Web applications.
>
>The workshop addresses researchers and practitioners from the fields of human computer interaction, as well as researchers from the Semantic Web community applying such techniques to the Semantic Web and Linked Data. The goal of the workshop is to provide a platform for knowledge exchange between the different research communities, and to foster future collaborations.

>* Models for specifying structure and behavior of Semantic Web interfaces
