INTRODUCTION

The Semantic Web is currently one of the most interesting and ambitious challenges that the scientific and technological community is facing. While great progresses have been made in terms of consolidation of base philosophy, new issues, technologies and tools are emerging.

These issues include creating and managing Semantic Web content, making semantics explicit in order to automatically integrate data from different sources and to search for information based on its meaning rather than its syntactic form.

New and advanced methods, models, tools, and technologies for services related to creation, access, retrieval, integration, and filtering of Web content are being developed at the intersection of relevant disciplines that are making the Semantic Web fly, such as Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Distributed Computing, Multimedia Systems, Natural Language Processing, and Human-Computer Interaction.

While applications that demonstrate the value of the Semantic Web technologies are critically important, building applications that use Semantic Web technologies is still a relatively new practice for most software developers.

This workshop aims at creating the possibility for a meeting and a fruitful debate among Italian and international researchers and developers on Semantic Web, with a special focus on aspects which might enable wide scale use of Semantic Web technologies.


AUDIENCE

The workshop aims at giving an overview of work performed by the (Italian) Semantic Web community, and aims to attract researchers, developers and interested practitioners alike. Contributions and participants from other countries have been very valuable for the past events, and are invited and very welcome. The presentation language will be English.


TOPICS

The workshop will cover theoretical, practical and implementation issues on Semantic Web. The following is a partial list of topics of interests:

  • Semantic Web for e-business, e-science, e-government, and e-learning
  • Languages, tools and methodologies for representing and managing Semantic Web data
  • Robust and scalable knowledge management and reasoning on the Web
  • Ontology creation, extraction, and evolution
  • Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment
  • Semantic Web middleware
  • Machine learning and human language technologies for the Semantic Web
  • Social networks based on Semantic Web technologies
  • Semantic Web services
  • Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Agents
  • Semantic Web Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights
  • Semantic web technology for collaboration and cooperation
  • Semantic multimedia
  • Semantics in P2P systems and grids
  • Searching, querying, visualizing and interpreting the Semantic Web
  • Evaluation of semantic Web techniques
  • Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Data
  • Large Scale Knowledge Management
  • Data Semantics
  • Knowledge Portals
  • Semantic Brokering
  • Semantic coordination, integration, matching and interoperability
  • Semantic Web Mining
  • Semantic Information Retrieval
  • Visualization and Modeling
  • Semantic Web Personalization
  • Systems of collaborative annotation
  • Systems of annotation extraction
  • Applications of Semantic Web technologies
  • Social aspects of distributed cooperative annotation
  • Presentation and discussions of application scenarios
  • Analysis of social online communities
  • Web 2.0 personalization
  • Web 2.0 technologies for recommender systems
  • Web 2.0 based ontology learning
  • Assistive technologies and the Semantic Web


    • SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

    We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, government, and consulting. Accepted formats are Postscript and PDF. Papers must be submitted electronically at the conference website.

    Accepted contributions will be published online in a volume of the CEUR workshop proceedings, a publication series by Deutsche Bibliothek, ISSN 1613-0073, and in a book with ISBN. Authors of accepted contributions will be able to express their preference for an oral or poster presentation.

    Authors are invited to submit their manuscript in the LNCS/LNAI style. Any further information concerning typesetting can be obtained directly from the Springer-Verlag authors' section at: http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html.
    The maximum length of a paper for SWAP is 10 pages.
