> Co-located workshops at previous ISWC conferences have become an
> important meeting point for researchers willing to discuss and
> exchange ideas on topics related to the Semantic Web. ISWC 2008
> plans to continue with this tradition and therefore invites proposals
> for the Workshop Program of ISWC 2008, to be held October 26-30, 2008,
> in Karlsruhe, Germany. Workshops will be held on 26-27 October.
>
> General Information

>   ISWC attendees.
>
> * Workshop duration can be half a day or a full day (October 26th

>   be made on the basis of overall quality of the proposal as well as
>   how it fits in with the conference.
>
> * The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for
>   their own reviewing process, publicity (e.g., website), and
>   proceedings. They will be required to closely cooperate with the
>   Workshops Chairs and the ISWC 2008 local organizers to finalize all
>   details mentioned above.
>
> * Workshop attendees must pay the ISWC 2008 workshop registration
>   fee, as well as the conference registration fee.
