Apologies for cross-posting. The 3rd International Provenance and Annotation Workshop (IPAW'2010) Troy NY, USA, June 15-16, 2010 http://tw.rpi.edu/ipaw2010 IPAW 2010 Call for Late Breaking Contributions http://tw.rpi.edu/portal/IPAW2010/cflbc Overview Interest in and needs for provenance are growing as data proliferates. Data is increasing in a wide array of application areas, including scientific workflow systems, logical reasoning systems, text extraction, social media, and linked data. As data increases and as applications become more hybrid and distributed in nature, there is increasing interest in where data came from and how it was produced in order to understand when and how to rely on it. Provenance, or the origin or source of something, can capture a wide range of information. This includes, for example, who or what generated the data, history of data stewardship, manner of manufacture, place and time of manufacture, and so on. Annotation is tightly connected with provenance since data is often commented on, described, and referred to. These descriptions or annotations are often critical to the understandability, reusability, and reproducibility of data and thus are often critical components of today’s data and knowledge systems. Provenance has been recognized to be important in a wide range of areas including databases, workflows, knowledge representation and reasoning, and digital libraries. Thus, many disciplines have proposed a wide range of provenance models, techniques, and infrastructure for encoding and using provenance. One timely challenge for the broader community is to understand the range of strengths and weaknesses of different approaches sufficiently to find and use the best models for any given situation. This also comes at a time when a new incubator group has been formed at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to provide a state of the art understanding and develop a roadmap in the area of provenance for Semantic Web technologies, development, and possible standardization. Late Breaking Contributions IPAW is accepting late breaking contributions to the poster and demo session. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work for potential presentation and publication in IPAW proceedings. We welcome three kinds late breaking of submissions: Poster only submission: Please submit a PDF write-up that up that complies with LNCS specifications <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0>. The submission should include one or more well articulated use cases clearly showing the need for provenance. The provenance requirements need to be explicitly stated in your submission. You may include a description of your solution to the provenance encoding if you have it but a use case showing one or more aspects of the need for provenance is a welcome contribution. Demonstration only submission: Please submit a PDF write-up that up that complies with LNCS specifications <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0>. The submission needs to include one or more legible screen shots and a description of the demonstration scenario. Demonstration AND poster submission: Please follow instructions for demonstration only submission but include that you would like to have a poster at IPAW as well. Please include Poster, Demo, or Dual in the submission title so it is clear which submission type you desire. Accepted submissions will be included in the online proceedings and also will be allocated up to two pages in the LCNS publication following the conference. The submission page is available at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ipaw2010. Submissions are due by May 24, however we encourage early submissions, especially if you the presenting author needs a letter of invitation in order to apply for a visa to travel to the US. Workshop Topics This workshop builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation workshops (http://www.ipaw.info/). It aims to bring together a broad range of provenance researchers and users in order to discuss progress in and open research problems related to provenance and annotation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Provenance models * Architectures and data management techniques for provenance data * Provenance requirements and use cases * Provenance-aware reasoning * Provenance-aware Semantic Web applications and technologies * Presentation techniques and tools for provenance data * Security and privacy issues for provenance data * Provenance integration and interoperability * Provenance for social media * Provenance for linked data * Query languages and query processing techniques for provenance data * Storage and query interfaces for workflow provenance * Provenance analysis, mining and visualization * Provenance systems, functionality, protocols, implementation * Provenance, business processes and compliance * Provenance prototypes and commercial solutions * Provenance in scientific publications * Provenance and its relationship to annotation and metadata * Provenance for digital libraries
