==================================================================== Call for Papers 4th International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data (COLD2013) 2013 Special Theme: Towards Industrial Linked Data Ecosystems http://db.uwaterloo.ca/cold2013/ Co-located with: 12th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2013) Sydney, Australia ==================================================================== =================== ABSTRACT =================== The quantity of published Linked Data continues to increase. However, applications that exploit Linked Data are not yet widespread. Reasons may include a lack of suitable solutions for a number of open problems. The diversity and dynamics of LOD sources have brought new challenges in seamless data integration, dynamic discovery, provenance tracking, and quality assessment at the Web scale. Addressing these issues requires joint community efforts from both LOD provision and consumption perspectives, including the development and investigation of concepts that can lead towards the realisation of a sustainable Linked Data ecosystem. The objective of this workshop is to provide a focused venue for academic and industrial discussions on concepts, algorithms, infrastructure and tools (including systematic analysis and rigorous evaluation) that help to exploit Linked Data (and not just to produce it). This years' edition of COLD is in association with Fujitsu and has a special theme, "Towards Industrial Linked Data Ecosystems", where we particularly encourage submissions that relate to applying Linked Data methodologies for industrial settings. However, papers on all aspects of consuming Linked Data are solicited. For further information about the workshop, please contact the workshops chairs at cold.org.ws@googlemail.com =================== TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== Relevant topics for COLD 2013 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, Cloud, NoSQL) * 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 and/or endpoints * Search on the Web of Data * Auto-discovery of URIs and data * Caching and replication techniques * Dataset dynamics * Reasoning over Linked Data from multiple sources * Information quality and trustworthiness of Linked Data * User interface research for interaction with the Web of Data * Integration of Linked Data sources * Languages for navigating and consuming Linked Data * Linked Data summarisation, data-guides, schema learning * Sustainable Linked Data ecosystems for industrial/commercial settings =================== IMPORTANT DATES =================== Paper deadline: Jul. 12 Final decision and notification: Aug. 09 Camera ready: Aug. 25 =================== 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=cold2013 Submissions that do not comply with the formatting of LNCS or that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review. The author list does not need to be anonymised, 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 to be published in the proceedings. Proceedings will be published online at CEUR-WS. We also encourage supplementary web-based material (e.g., XHTML+RDFa versions of papers) to be submitted alongside PDFs. This material will be published on the workshop website. ======================= ORGANISING COMMITTEE ======================= Olaf Hartig - University of Waterloo, Canada Juan Sequeda - University of Texas at Austin, USA Aidan Hogan - DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland Takahide Matsutsuka - Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe, UK ======================= STEERING COMMITTEE ======================= Richard Cyganiak - DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland Nobuyuki Igata - Fujitsu Laboratories, Ltd., Japan Vit Novacek - DERI, NUI Galway, Ireland ======================= PROGRAMME COMMITTEE ======================= Mathieu d'Aquin - Open University, United Kingdom Cosmin Basca - University of Zurich Christian Bizer - University of Mannheim Gong Cheng - Nanjing University Oscar Corcho - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Christina Feilmayr - Johannes Kepler University of Linz Claudio Gutierrez - Universidad de Chile Andreas Harth - AIFB, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Michael Hausenblas - MapR, Ireland Ralf Heese - Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Bo Hu - Fujitsu, United Kingdom Katja Hose - Aalborg University Haklae Kim - Samsung Electronics Terunobu Kume - Fujitsu, Japan Roger Menday - Fujitsu, United Kingdom Adrian Mocan - SAP, Germany Aisha Naseer - Fujitsu, United Kingdom Alexandre Passant - seevl.net, MDG Web ltd Giuseppe Pirró - KRDB, Free University of Bolzano Axel Polleres - Siemens AG Österreich Matthew Rowe - Lancaster University Kai-Uwe Sattler - TU Ilmenau Bernhard Schandl - Gnowsis.com Stefan Schlobach - Vrije Universiteit, Netherland Aibo Tian - University of Texas at Austin, USA Raphael Troncy - EURECOM Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche - Fujitsu, Ireland Boris Villazón-Terrazas - iSOCO, Intelligent Software Components Jun Zhao - University of Oxford ======================= CONTACT ======================= Web: http://db.uwaterloo.ca/cold2013/ Email: cold.org.ws@googlemail.com
