SALLD-1 @ LDK 2021 – Workshop on Sentiment Analysis & Linguistic Linked Data
2ND CALL FOR PAPERS – NEW WORKSHOP DATE, SUBMISSION SCHEDULE, PROGRAM COMMITTEE

SALLD-1. The first workshop on Sentiment Analysis and Linguistic Linked Data (SALLD-1) will be held in conjunction with LDK 2021 – 3rd Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge – in Zaragoza, Spain on September 1, 2021.
Concepts. Sentiment Analysis (SA<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentiment_analysis>) refers “to the use of natural language processing, text analysis, computational linguistics, and biometrics to systematically identify, extract, quantify, and study affective states and subjective information”, while [open] Linguistic Linked Data (LLD<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_Linked_Open_Data>) is “concerned with creating, sharing, and (re-)using language resources in accordance with Linked Data principles”. SALLD-1 will explore principles, methodologies, resources, tools and applications combining SA and LLD.
Context. SALLD-1 has been initiated in the framework of Working Group 4 (WG4) of the NexusLinguarum COST Action – European network for Web-centred linguistic data science (CA 18209<https://nexuslinguarum.eu/>), which supports LDK 2021.
Format. The half-day workshop will comprise oral papers, a demo session, and a concluding panel.
Call for Papers. We invite submissions offering diverse perspectives on this joint subject matter, such as regarding a domain (e.g. general media or social media, literary texts and digital humanities, fintech, cybersecurity, and so on); modelling and technical features; lexical resources and complex multi-level structure; emotion, hate speech and common words that become abusive in specific context; keywords, tags, polarity, standards, and related issues. Reviews or encodings and interconnection of SA tasks applying semantic technologies with LLD are also welcome.
Topics. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

  *   Sentiment Analysis
  *   Linguistic Linked (Open) Data
  *   Natural Language Processing
  *   Semantic Web and the Web of Data
  *   Lexical/Textual Resource modelling, annotation, and conversion to Linked Data
  *   Metadata, Categories, Workflows, Keywords, and Standards
  *   Understanding and predicting user and group behavior
  *   Offensive language identification, classification, and interaction with polarity and emotion
Submission. Please submit your 1,000-word abstract via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=salld1.


Abstracts are not required to adhere to any specific layout template.

Accepted submissions will be published by OASIcs in an open-access conference proceedings volume free of charge. The proceedings will include full papers consisting of a maximum of 15 pages.

As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymized.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register to LDK 2021 to present the paper at the workshop.

COVID-19. If the epidemiological situation and travel restrictions do not allow for a physical event, SALLD-1 will be held virtually, in which case the format may change to accommodate the specifics of online events. Proceedings will be published in either case.
