[Apologies for multiple copies] ---- Full call for papers at http://semwiki.org/2006/cfp.html * Contact: mvo@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de CALL FOR PAPERS SemWiki2006 1st Workshop: 'From Wiki to Semantics' http://semwiki.org co-located with the 3rd Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) http://www.eswc2006.org/ Budva, Montenegro 11th - 14th June, 2006 === Executive Summary === SemWiki2006 is the first workshop on Semantic Wikis. It aims to explore and collect the different ideas and motivations that have lead to the recent emergence of so-called "Semantic Wiki" systems. === Workshop Topics === Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected, collaborativeness) technologies. Goals are diverse and include: o simple annotations of existing Wiki content; o tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures; o full-fledged tools for ontology editing where the text is no longer in the focus of the system. In the future, Semantic Wiki systems might play an important role for "knowledge acquisition", enabling non-technical users to contribute to the Semantic Web. === Important Dates (all dates GMT) === o Abstract submission for papers, poster, demo, position papers: 7 March 2006 o Full submission for papers, poster, demo, position papers: 28 March 2006 o Notification to authors: 20 April 2006 o Camera-ready version: 30 April 2006 o Workshop in Budva, Montenegro, half-day: 11/12th June 2006 The workshop will be held as a half-day workshop at the European Semantic Web Conference on the 11th or 12th of June in Budva, Montenegro. === Call for Contributions === We invite submissions as full and short papers, as well as posters/demos. Papers should describe original, unpublished research and must not be under review by another conference, journal, or workshop. Authors of the highest quality contributions will be invited to present their work at the workshop (probably 20 minutes). Since Semantic Wikis are a very practical topic, we are also very interested in poster and demo submissions. Posters and Demos should describe prototypical implementations of systems related to the workshop topics. Highest quality submissions will be presented in a separate poster/demo session. Contributions should adhere to the following formats: o Papers 5-15 pages, LNCS o Posters/Demos 2-5 pages, LNCS o Short/Position Papers: 2-5 pages, LNCS In this workshop, we will explore a new form of publication, the so-called "ABCDE "-format. This format has been proposed recently by User:Anita de Waard (Elsevier) and allows authors to annotate their articles directly with semantic markup. This semantic markup will be used in the electronic workshops proceedings to facilitate searching and browsing. A specialised Latex template will be provided by the workshop organisers that allows to easily add these annotations. You can start using the Springer LNCS template and later switch to LNCS-ABCDEF (which will be published on this website). === Publication === Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference online and in print. === Topics of Interest (include but are not limited to) === Topics of Interest (include but are not limited to) o Semantic Extensions of Wikis o Text-Based Semantic Authoring o Acquisition of Formal Knowledge from Structured Text o Collaborative Authoring of Formal Knowledge o Continuous and Integrated Knowledge Usage and Refinement o Creating semantic content from text within * Semantic Portals, * Personal Knowledge Management Systems, and * Ontology Authoring Environments. o Possible Application Areas of Semantic Wikis === Organisation === Workshop coordinators o Sebastian Schaffert, Salzburg Research (AT) o Max Völkel, Universität Karlsruhe (TH) (DE) o Stefan Decker, National University of Ireland in Galway (IE) A planned further outcome is a collaboratively authored "white paper" on Semantic Wikis. === Programme Committee === o Sören Auer, Universität Leipzig (DE) o David Aumüller, Universität Leipzig (DE) o Paolo Castagna, HP Bristol Labs (UK) o Björn Decker, Fraunhofer IESE (DE) o Stefan Decker, National University of Ireland in Galway (IE) o Ludger van Elst, DFKI (DE) o Michael Erdmann, Ontoprise (DE) o Shishir Garg, France Telecom (US) o Heiko Haller, Universität Karlsruhe (DE) o Martin Hepp, DERI Innsbruck (AT) o Siegfried Handschuh, DERI (IE) o David Karger, MIT (US) o Malte Kiesel, DFKI (DE) o Bertin Klein, DFKI Kaiserslautern (DE) o Peter Mika, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL) o Eyal Oren, DERI (IE) o Flavio De Paoli, Università di Milano (IT) o Jean Rohmer, Thales (FR) o Sebastian Schaffert, Salzburg Research (AT) o Steffen Staab, Universität Koblenz (DE) o York Sure, Universität Karlsruhe (DE) o Hideaki Takeda, NII, (JP) o Kim Tighe, HP Galway (IE) o Denny Vrandecic, Universität Karlsruhe (DE) o Max Völkel, Universität Karlsruhe (TH) (DE) o Anita De Waard, Elsevier (NL) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Complete information, including Programme Committee, instructions for submission, description of the workshop, etc. are to be found at: http://www.semwiki.org
