Hi all, Just a quick reminder that the deadline for submissions to LDOW2010, the 3rd International Workshop on Linked Data on the Web, is coming up in almost exactly one month. The Call for Papers is copied below, and the workshop website is at http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2010/ One thing to note is that the workshop date has been confirmed as 27th April 2010, which avoids clashes with the First International Workshop on RESTful Design (WS-REST 2010) <http://ws-rest.org/> and the Semantic Search 2010 workshop <http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/semsearch10/>, as we imagine these workshops will also be of great interest to the LDOW2010 audience. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions for LDOW2010, and hope to see you in Raleigh. Cheers, Chris Bizer Tom Heath Tim Berners-Lee Michael Hausenblas ============== Call for Papers =============== Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2010) Workshop at WWW2010 ========================================= April 27th, 2010, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA ========================================= Objectives The Web is increasingly understood as a global information space consisting not just of linked documents, but also of linked data. More than just a vision, the resulting Web of Data has been brought into being by the maturing of the Semantic Web technology stack, and by the publication of large datasets according to the principles of Linked Data. To date, the Web of Data has grown to a size of roughly 13.1 billion RDF triples, with contributions coming increasingly from companies, government and public sector projects, as well as from individual Web enthusiasts. In addition to publishing and interlinking datasets, there is intensive work on Linked Data browsers, Web of Data search engines and other applications that consume Linked Data from the Web. LDOW2010 follows the successful LDOW2008 workshop at WWW2008 in Beijing and the LDOW2009 workshop at WWW2009 in Madrid. As the publication of Linked Data on the Web continues apace, the need becomes more pressing for principled research in the areas of user interfaces for the Web of Data as well as on issues of quality, trust and provenance in Linked Data. We also expect to see a number of submissions related to current areas of high Linked Data activity, such as government transparency, life sciences and the media industry. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for exposing high quality, novel research and applications in these (and related) areas. In addition, by bringing together researchers in this field, we expect the event to further shape the ongoing Linked Data research agenda. ========================================= Topics of Interest Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Linked Data Application Architectures * crawling, caching and querying Linked Data * dataset dynamics and synchronization * Linked Data mining 2. Data Linking and Data Fusion * linking algorithms and heuristics, identity resolution * Web data integration and data fusion * link maintanance * performance of linking infrastructures/algorithms on Web data 3. Quality, Trust and Provenance in Linked Data * tracking provenance and usage of Linked Data * evaluating quality and trustworthiness of Linked Data * profiling of Linked Data sources 4. User Interfaces for the Web of Data * approaches to visualizing and interacting with distributed Web data * Linked Data browsers and search engines 5. Data Publishing * tools for publishing large data sources as Linked Data on the Web (e.g. relational databases, XML repositories) * embedding data into classic Web documents (e.g. RDFa, Microformats) * describing data on the Web (e.g. VoiD, Semantic Site Map) * licensing issues in Linked Data publishing 6. Business models for Linked Data publishing and consumption ========================================= Submissions We seek three kinds of submissions: 1. Full technical papers: up to 10 pages in ACM format 2. Short technical and position papers: up to 5 pages in ACM format 3. Demo description: up to 2 pages in ACM format Submissions must be formatted using the WWW2010 templates available at http://www2010.org/www/authors/submissions/formatting-guidelines/. Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in the workshop proceedings. Please submit your paper via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ldow2010 ========================================= Important Dates Submission deadline: 15th February 2010, 23.59 Hawaii time Notification of acceptance: 8th March 2010 Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: 21st March 2010 Workshop date: 27th or 28th April 2010 ========================================= Organising Committee Christian Bizer, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany Tom Heath, Talis Information Ltd, UK Tim Berners-Lee, MIT CSAIL, USA Michael Hausenblas, DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland ========================================= Programme Committee Alexandre Passant, DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland Andreas Langegger, University of Linz, Austria Andy Seaborne, Talis Information Ltd, UK Axel Polleres, DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland Bernhard Schandl, University of Vienna, Austria Christopher Brewster, Aston Business School, UK Dave Reynolds, Epimorphics Ltd, UK David Huynh, MetaWeb, USA David Peterson, Boab Interactive, Australia Denny Vrandecic, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Ed Summers, Library of Congress, USA Erik Wilde, School of Information UC Berkeley, USA Felix Naumann, Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany Georgi Kobilarov, Uberblic Labs, Germany Gong Cheng, Southeast University, China Gregory Williams, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA Harith Alani, KMi, The Open University, UK Harry Halpin, University of Edinburgh, UK Herbert Van de Sompel, Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA Hugh Glaser, University of Southampton, UK Ian Davis, Talis Information Ltd, UK Ian Millard, University of Southampton, UK Ivan Herman, World Wide Web Consortium, USA Jeni Tennison, Jeni Tennison Consulting Ltd., UK Jonathan Gray, Open Knowledge Foundation, UK Joshua Tauberer, University of Pennsylvania, USA Juan Sequeda, UT Austin, USA Jun Zhao, Oxford University, UK Kai-Uwe Sattler, University of Ilmenau, Germany Knud Moeller, DERI Galway, Ireland Leigh Dodds, Talis Information Ltd, UK Li Ding, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA Mariano Consens, University of Toronto, Canada Martin Hepp, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany Mathieu d'Aquin, KMi, The Open University, UK Matthew Rowe, University of Sheffield, Michael Bergman, Structured Dynamics, USA Michiel Hildebrand, CWI, Netherlands Mischa Tuffield, Garlik, UK Nick Humfrey, BBC, UK Nigel Shadbolt, University of Southampton, UK Oktie Hassanzadeh, University of Toronto, Canada Olaf Hartig, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany Orri Erling, OpenLink Software, Netherlands Patrick Sinclair, BBC, UK Paul Miller, Cloud of Data, UK Peter Ansell, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Raphael Troncy, EURECOM, France Richard Cyganiak, DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland Rob Styles, Talis Information Ltd, UK Sean Bechhofer, University of Manchester, UK Simon Schenk, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Soeren Auer, University of Leipzig, Germany Susie Stephens, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, USA Vinay Chaudhri, SRI International, USA York Sure, GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Germany Yuzhong Qu, Nanjing University, China Yves Raimond, BBC, UK ========================================= Contact For further information about the workshop, please contact the workshops chairs at ldow2010 [at] events [dot linkeddata [dot] org ========================================= -- Dr Tom Heath Researcher Platform Division Talis Information Ltd T: 0870 400 5000 W: http://www.talis.com/
