Call for Participation 1st Workshop on the Multilingual Semantic Web collocated with the 19th Int. World Wide Web Conference (WWW2010) April 27th, Raleigh Convention Center, Raleigh, North Carolina -- workshop program now available at http://msw.deri.ie -- Although knowledge processing on the Semantic Web is inherently language-independent, human interaction with semantically structured and linked data will remain inherently language-based as this will be done preferably by use of text or speech input - in many different languages. Semantic Web development will therefore be increasingly concerned with knowledge access to and generation in/from multiple languages, i.e., in: - multilingual querying of knowledge repositories and linked data - multilingual knowledge and result presentation in semantic search - multilingual verbalization of ontology structure in ontology engineering - ontology-based information extraction from multilingual text and semi-structured data - ontology learning from multilingual text and semi-structured data Multilinguality is therefore an emerging challenge to Semantic Web development and to its global acceptance - across language communities around the world. The workshop will therefore be concerned with discussion of new infrastructures, architectures, algorithms etc. that will enable easy adaptation of Semantic Web applications to multiple languages, addressing issues in representation, extraction, integration, presentation etc. Organizing Committee Paul Buitelaar - DERI, National University of Ireland, Galway Philipp Cimiano - Bielefeld University, Germany Elena Montiel-Ponsoda - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, España
