CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 2015 AAAI Spring Symposium on Structured Data for Humanitarian Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the AAAI Spring Symposium on Structured Data
for Humanitarian Technologies. The symposium's objective is to assess the
role of Structured Data standards such as Linked Data, which can be quickly
reused, integrated and extended, in the humanitarian space. The symposium
will be held from March 23-25 at Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA.

We have an exciting program designed to appeal to computer science
researchers, and both linked data and humanitarian technology
practitioners. It includes

* Three Keynote Speeches: Andrej Verity (UN OCHA), Sharad Mehrotra
(University of California Irvine), and Eduardo Jezierski (InSTEDD)

* Two Panels:  Challenges and Prospects of integrating Data-driven approach
in Large-scale Humanitarian Operations, Building a Data-driven Emergency
Response

* Research Papers

* Tutorials, Demos, and a Poster Session
