Call for Papers
3rd International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data (COLD2012)
http://km.aifb.kit.edu/ws/cold2012/
co-located with
11th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2012)
Boston, MA, USA

The quantity of published Linked Data is increasing dramatically. However,
applications that consume Linked Data are not yet widespread. Current
approaches lack methods for seamless integration of Linked Data from
multiple sources, dynamic discovery of available data and data sources,
provenance and information quality assessment, application development
environments, and appropriate end user interfaces. Addressing these issues
requires well-founded research, including the development and investigation
of concepts that can be applied in systems which consume Linked Data from
the Web. Following the success of the 1st and 2nd International Workshop on
Consuming Linked Data, we organize the third edition of this workshop in
order to provide a platform for discussion and work on these open research
problems. The main objective is to provide a venue for scientific discourse
— including systematic analysis and rigorous evaluation — of concepts,
algorithms and approaches for consuming Linked Data.

For further information about the workshop, please contact the workshops

===================
TOPICS OF INTEREST
===================

Relevant topics for COLD 2012 include but are not limited to:

* Live Linked Data (i.e., algorithms and applications that make use of
Linked Data at runtime)
* Architectures for consuming Linked Data (e.g., Dataspaces)
* Handling additional web data (e.g., microformats, microdata, schema.org,
APIs, JSON, Open Graph Protocol, Twitter Cards...)
* Web scale data management (indexing, crawling, etc.)
* Query processing over multiple linked datasets
* Search in the Web of Data
* Auto-discovery of URIs and data
* Caching and replication
* Dataset dynamics
* Reasoning on Linked Data from multiple sources
* Information quality and trustworthiness of Linked Data
* User interface research for the interaction with the Web of Data

===================
IMPORTANT DATES
===================

Paper submission deadline: July 31, 2012, 23.59 Hawaii time
Acceptance notification: August 21, 2012
Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: September 10, 2012
Workshop date: November, 2012

===================
SUBMISSIONS
===================

We seek novel technical research papers in the context of consuming Linked
Data with a length of up to 12 pages. Paper submissions must be formatted
in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS). Please submit your paper via EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cold2012 Submissions that do not
comply with the formatting of LNCS or that exceed the page limit will be
rejected without review. We note that the author list does not need to be
anonymized, as we do not have a double-blind review process in place.
Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted
papers have to be presented at the workshop proceedings. Proceedings will
be published online at CEUR-WS.
