1st Workshop on the OntoLex Model (OntoLex-2017)

The Lemon-OntoLex model has been developed for the representation of
lexicons relative to ontologies on the Semantic Web, by the W3C OntoLex
Community Group, and has become the primary method for representing linked
lexical data on the Web of Data. This model provides a new opportunity to
bridge the gap between linguistics and NLP practitioners and the data
science community by making large amounts of high quality lexical
information available and linked to the knowledge that is explicitly
represented on the Semantic Web, in graphs such as DBpedia. F The
Lemon-OntoLex model is finding applications in many areas. For example the
model is being used to link wordnets, as part of the Global WordNet
Association Collaborative Interlingual Index and furthermore in the
representation of existing lexical resources including BabelNet, DBnary and
commercial dictionaries

As such, this represents a crucial point for the various users of the model
to come together and discuss the current applications of the model as well
as future developments of the model. For this reason, we have established a
new workshop series on the OntoLex model and its applications, that will be
co-located with the First Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK
2017) in Galway, Ireland. We welcome position statements on the following
topics:

   - New modules for OntoLex
   - Application-specific extensions of the model
   - User experiences with the model
   - Applications of the model
   - Datasets created with the Lemon-OntoLex model and previous versions.
   - Linking datasets from/to OntoLex datasets


Please submit papers of between 4-10 pages formatted using the Springer
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence formatting guidelines. Submissions
will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers and will be made available on
online prior to the workshop. More details can be found at
