Abstract
----------------------------------------------

Scientometrics is a field of research that analyses and measures science
and technology research and innovation. When it comes to scientometrics
the Semantic Web community has both much to offer and much to gain. On
the one hand, we are very well positioned to integrate and analyse the
complex data that is needed in order to push the field forward. On the
other, we need to demonstrate the impact we as researchers and we the
Semantic Web community have one academia, business and society. With
this workshop we have identified a critical mass of people that are
interested in scientometrics and aim to build a community, whose
function is to identify research challenges and opportunities, align our
research efforts and encourage the broader Semantic Web community to
apply their existing tools and technologies to the field of scientometrics.

----------------------------------------------
Topics
----------------------------------------------

In order to promote discussion and action on the topic of scientometrics
our workshop seeks answers to the following:

*Publishing and supplementing research data – Beyond paper, conference
and journal metadata what data could potentially be used to make
meaningful inferences about various research communities? What data is
necessary to demonstrate the impact our research has on academia,
business and society?

*Scientometric tools and techniques – What tools and techniques do we
currently have at our disposal? What can our community contribute beyond
existing research efforts that focus on topic, trend and community
analysis? What measures and techniques can be used to benchmark research
communities?

*Semantic Web community challenges and opportunities – What are the data
and research challenges that need to be overcome in order to better
understand our community? How can be better position our technologies
outside the Semantic Web community? What are the current gaps that may
hinder further adoption of Semantic Web technologies, in special among
enterprises?
