1st Workshop: ′′SemWiki2006 - From Wiki to Semantics′′

Abstract Submission Deadline: 7 March 2006 数据挖掘实验室

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. 数据挖掘交友

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. 数据挖掘交友

Goals are diverse and include: 数据挖掘研究院

• simple annotations of existing Wiki content;
• tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures;
• 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)

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 Papers should describe original, unpublished research and must not be under review by another conference, journal, or workshop.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 separete poster/demo session. 数据挖掘实验室

Contributions should adhere to the following formats:

数据挖掘工具

• Papers 5-15 pages, LNCS
• Posters/Demos 2-5 pages, LNCS
• 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). 数据挖掘研究院

Publication

Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference online and in print. 数据挖掘论坛
