Re: ODBASE'19 - deadline extended to 25th July

Dear Bert,

It would also be great if you could also add a blog about the SPEC to
the news section of the SPECIAL website.

Best Regards,
Sabrina

>>>>> The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of

>>>>> linguistics.

>>>>> The increasing effectiveness and adoption of data-driven AI
>>>>> technologies into a widening range of applications has thrown a
>>>>> spotlight into the trustworthiness of such AI applications. Such
>>>>> concerns extends beyond those of vendors, deployers and users of an
>>>>> AI, interested in its envelop of performance and reliability, but
>>>>> also wider professional, governmental and civil society
>>>>> stakeholders who are concerned by the potential impact of bias,
>>>>> safety, robustness and liability issues. This concern is amplified

>>>>> how these processes can be governed, not just within organisations,
>>>>> but in concert with external stakeholders. Ontologies and semantic
>>>>> models are powerful techniques for representing, exchanging and
>>>>> controlling the processing of data for AI applications. They can be

>>>>> that train AI. They can track the provenance and quality
>>>>> assessments of data selected for training AI. They can be use to
>>>>> track and compare the selection of data in different linguistic and
>>>>> societal settings to ensure AI is developed in a fair, unbiased and
>>>>> inclusive manner. They can be used for tracking and explaining the

>>>>> real-world importance and impact; preference will be given to
>>>>> papers that describe software products or systems that are in use

>>>>>
>>>>> Papers submitted to ODBASE’19 must not have been accepted for
>>>>> publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or

>>>>> All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on
>>>>> originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
>>>>> expression. All papers will be refereed by at least three members

>>>>> industry in the case of practice reports. All submissions must be

>>>>>
>>>>> Submissions must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready

>>>>> Paper submission site:
