Re: [ontolog-forum] [STI-community] FINAL CALL: charting the futureof semantics - STI 3rd Roadmapping Workshop

Dick, thanks
I have been looking at the Mkr but I dont understand it, probably for
different reasons from Pat H
However I am intersted

In looking for common grounds, we may have to separate our own individual
purposes
(I mean, we all have a purpose right?)

Mkr is your own work, what can we do collectively that would help us create
a more cooperative research and development environment?


cheers

PDM

>> *DESCRIPTION*
>> In the last 15 years the World Wide Web has radically changed how our
>> society communicates, connects, does business, shares information and
>> performs tasks. It can be expected that another paradigm shift will be
>> seen
>> over the next 15 years, in which many terms are already part of the

>> cloud, utility, services, mobile, ubiquitous, virtual worlds etc. In the
>> semantic technologies community there is the expectation that semantics
>> are
>> on the cusp of maturity and wider uptake, and a large body of research
>> work
>> demonstrates their relevance to all of the aforementioned areas.
>> How will the semantic landscape look like in 15 years from now? What path
>> will be taken to get there? This workshop solicits submissions from
>> visionaries in the semantic research community as well as early adopter
>> industry, addressing the question of what role semantic technologies will
>> play in the next developments of the Web.
>> Our aim is to bring together experts to chart together the requirements on
>> research and necessary steps in education and technology transfer that
>> exist
>> to ensure semantics will achieve their full potential for society and
>> industry over the next 15 years. In the workshop, visions can be shared
>> and
>> discussed, and actions identified which will result in, after the
>> workshop,
>> an expert roadmap for semantic technologies. This roadmap is expected to
>> form a significant input to future efforts around semantic technology.
>>
>>
>> *BACKGROUND*
>> This workshop is an action of the Roadmapping Service of STI
>> International.
>> The Roadmapping Service exists to initiate and coordinate the
>> specification
>> of research roadmaps for the future research and development of semantic
>> technologies. The aim is to provide an integrated plan for future research
>> and development activities, which then serves as the basis for
>> coordinating
>> cross-project activities as well as for standardization work ensuring
>> sustainability and global impact.
>> The results of the previous workshop event, looking at semantics through
>> to
>> 2019, can be found here:
>> http://roadmap.sti2.org/wiki
>>
>> *PROGRAM OUTLINE*
>> This year we expect an one day workshop consisting of:
>> *******************
>> An invited talk from Prof. Dr. Fabio Ciravegna, University of Sheffield,
>> UK
>> *******************
>> ''Six Impossible Things''
>> In this talk I will try to look into the future of SemanticTechnologies in
>> 15 years time. I will start by looking at how the past generations have
>> looked at the possible present and discuss where they were right and they
>> were wrong. Then I will present my vision for the next 5, 10 and 15 years
>> of
>> semantic technologies, discussing scenarios and requirements.
>> *******************
>> Curriculum Vitae
>> Fabio is Full Professor of Language and Knowledge Technologies at the
>> University of Sheffield where He coordinates the Organisations,
>> Information
>> and Knowledge (OAK) Group. His research field concerns methodologies and
>> technologies for the Intelligent and Semantic Web, with focus on Knowledge
>> Management applications. He is Director of the integrated project IST
>> X-Media, and principal investigator in the EU IPs WeKnowIt and
>> SmartProducts. He isprincipal investigator in the project IPAS-XWB funded
>> by
>> Rolls-Royce plc. He is also principal investigator in the ERC-funded
>> project
>> Archaeotools about analysing 1m documents from the grey literature. In the
>> past he was director of the EU project Dot.Kom
>> (http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/dot.kom/) and co-investigator in the EPSRC IRC AKT
>> project (www.aktors.org) He has considerable engagement with industry and
>> user communities with projects funded by Rolls Royce, Kodak Eastman,
>> Lycos,
>> and the Environment Agency.
>> He is part of the editorial board of the International Journal on ''Web
>> Semantics'' and of the International Journal of Human Computer Studies. He
>> is director of research of K-Now, a spin-off company of the University of
>> Sheffield focusing on supporting dynamic distributed communities in large
>> organizations. He holds a PhD from the University of East Anglia and a
>> doctorship from the University of Torino, Italy

>> *FORMAT*
>> We expect an one day workshop consisting of:
>> - An invited talk from a semantic technologies visionary
>> - Presentations of submissions, including sufficient time for discussion.
>> Where possible, presentations will be split into sessions grouped around
>> specific Web developments (cloud, services, ubiquity, virtual worlds etc.)
>> - "Stand-up" session for all other submittees/attendees of a short 2-3
>> slide
>> presentation of an idea or vision. These are not refereed.
>> - Interactive session charting the next 15 years of semantic technology
>> (group activity)
>>
>>
>> Accepted submissions will be published in a workshop proceedings as well
>> as
>> acknowledged in the STI roadmap document and all other publications
>> derived
>> from it.
>>
>>
>> *CALL FOR SUBMISSION*
>> Submissions are welcomed from any member of the research or professional
>> community. They should take the form of a position paper, giving grounded
>> reasons for a particular vision of semantic technology use in our future
>> society and identifying research challenges that must be met, educational
>> needs that must be covered and technology transfer that must take place
>> before this vision can become reality. Position papers should be no more
>> than 5 pages LNCS format and be submitted in PDF format.
>> Accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop in short
>> presentations with sufficient time for questions. All attendees are
>> invited
>> to give a 2-3 slide ''stand up'' presentation of their ideas.
>> Submissions should be sent to lyndon.nixon@sti2.org
