Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2011) Workshop at WWW2011

 

http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2011/

 

=========================================

 

Workshop date: March 29th, 2011, Hyderabad, India

 

Submission deadline: 8th February, 2011

 

=========================================

 

Objectives

 

The Web has developed into a global information space consisting not just of
linked documents, but also of linked data. In 2010, we have seen significant
growth in the size of the Web of Data as well as in the number of
communities contributing to its creation. In addition, there is intensive
work on applications that consume Linked Data from the Web.

 

The LDOW2011 workshop in Hyderabad follows the LDOW2008 workshop in Beijing,
the LDOW2009 workshop in Madrid, and the LDOW2010 workshop in Raleigh. As
the previous workshops, LDOW2011 is open to cover all topics related to
Linked Data publication as well as consumption, including 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 LDOW2011 workshop include, but are not limited
to:

 

1. Foundations of Linked Data 

* Web architecture and dataspace theory

* dataset dynamics and synchronisation

* analizing and profiling the Web of Data

 

2. Data Linking and Fusion

* entity consolidation and linking algorithms

* Web-based data integration and data fusion

* performance and scalability of integration architectures

 

3. Write-enabled Linked Data Web

* access authentication mechanisms for Linked Datasets (WebID, etc.)

* authorisation mechanisms for Linked Datasets (WebACL, etc.)

* enabling write-access to legacy data sources (Google APIs, Flickr API,
etc.)

 

4. Data Publishing

* publishing legacy data sources as Linked Data on the Web 

* cost-benefits of the 5 star LOD plan

 

5. Data Usage 

* tracking provenance of Linked Data

* evaluating quality and trustworthiness of Linked Data

* licensing issues in Linked Data publishing

* distributed query of Linked Data

* RDF-to-X, turning RDF to legacy data 

 

6. Interaction with the Web of Data

* approaches to visualise Linked Data 

* interacting with distributed Web data

* Linked Data browsers, indexer and search engines

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 WWW2011 templates available via the
LDOW2011 homepage. We note that the author list does not need to be
