Re: [Final CfP]: Uncertainty and Imprecision on the Web of Data @ IPMU 2014

Hi Konstantin,

As an irony fan, I note that the conference on "Uncertainty and Imprecision" begins the day after Bastille Day.  Interesting comment on the revolutionary character of the Web of Data :-)

Uncertainty and imprecision can not be "solved" by disapproval.  If you took a stack of 10 Trillion Dollar Bills (10^14) (representing Water Molecules) then a Chemist would tell you that one bill in the pile has no picture of George Washington and one bill has two pictures of George Washington.  Quantum Mechanics is weird and it makes Economist's heads blow up.  Anyway ...  

I doubt I would be able to attend but can offer some organized, if not exactly structured (the American Public Domain is not structured, just free) data for visualizations.

 Uncertainty and
 Imprecision on the Web of Data
 July 15-19,
 2014Montpellier,
 France
 
 --Special Session at the 15th International Conference on
 Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in
 Knowledge-Based Systems

 ****Submission

 ***Short
 description***
 
 
 Phenomena
 related to uncertainty and imprecision are common on the Web
 of Data. On the one hand, data published as linked open
 data are often incomplete and of variable quality; we are
 frequently faced to dealing with missing, imperfect, vague
 and imprecise data in many real-world applications. On the
 other hand, often these data's meta-models are of
 inherently uncertain or imprecise nature and dealing with
 these resources requires a suitable framework. Although
 active research addressing these issues has been conducted
 recently, handling uncertainty and imprecision is still an
 open problem in the context of the Web of Data.
 
 
 The
 goal of this special session is to bring together
 researchers working in the field of imprecise/uncertain
 knowledge and data management and interested in linked open
 data technologies. The session will address problems
 related to handling imprecision and/or uncertainty of data
 and ontologies in the processes of publishing,
 interconnecting and querying data by following the Linked
 Data principles. Two major (partly
 intersecting) communities are targeted: (1) the community
 dealing with reasoning under uncertainty and (2) the
 community focusing on knowledge discovery, data mining, data
 integration and information retrieval when data are fuzzy,
 imperfect or imprecise.
 
 
 The
 topics of interest can be articulated along the following
 axes (the list being non-exhaustive):
 
 
 *
 Fuzzy ontological languages
 
 * Linking of imperfect/imprecise/vague data*
 Representaion of uncertain links
 
 * Fuzzy/probabilistic/approximate ontology matching*
 Reasoning techniques under uncertainty and fuzziness
 
 * Imprecision and uncertainty in specific domains,
 e.g.: 
     - the biological and bio-medical domains
 
       - the geo-spatial domain 
     - trust, provenance and security
 
       - multimedia 
     - multilingualism*
 Quality of open data
 
 *
 Fuzzy data mining and knowledge extraction*
 Querying warehouses opened on the web: imprecise queries and
 approximate answers
 
 
 
 ***Submissions***
 Contributions to the
 special session can be made in terms of papers which will
 undergo the standard reviewing process of the IPMU 2014
 conference. Complete information regarding the  submission
 process can be found at the conference website: http://www.ipmu2014.univ-montp2.fr,
 more precisely in the section Program -> Special
 Sessions. In the submission process, note that the name of
 the special session will appear (and has to be selected) in
 the list of conference tracks on the Easychair site. The
 accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of IPMU
 2014.
