             Semantic Web: Models, Architectures and Management

A workshop following ECDL'2000 Conference Lisbon, September 21st 2000
(http://www.ics.forth.gr/proj/isst/SemWeb/)

Call-for-Papers

The term "semantic web" has been coined by Tim Berners-Lee in 1998 to
denote the efforts dealing with the conceptual structuring of the Web
in an explicit and machine-readable way. The primary goal of
semantic web is to facilitate resource discovery, information
filtering and "intelligent browsing". The objective of the workshop is
to bring together and foster interaction among individuals
conducting research in the theory and implementation of the semantic
web. We invite submissions reporting original results on the
following, non-exhaustive, list of relevant themes:

- Models and Formalisms for Knowledge Sharing in the Web 
- Semantic Interoperability & Metadata Standards (Topic-Maps, RDF, XML Schema)
- Knowledge-based Mediation Architectures 
- Modularity & Scalability of Metadata Repositories
- Distributed Inference Services
- Query Languages for the Semantic Web
- Methods and Tools for generating Web Conceptual Schemas
- Intelligent Browsing Interfaces & Personalization
- Automated Categorization of Web Resources
- Semantic Web Applications for User Communities (Digital Libraries, E-Commerce, etc.).

Papers should be at most 5000 words in length. Electronic submissions
are strongly encouraged, in Postscript or PDF formats. If electronic
submission is not possible, 10 copies of the manuscript should be sent via
regular mail to one of the program co-chairs. Guidelines for
electronic submission can be found in the Workshop's web page:

Manuscript submission deadline: July 10, 2000
