Second International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data (COLD2011)October 23, 2011Bonn, GermanyAbstractThe quantity of published Linked Data is increasing dramatically. However, applications that consume Linked Data are not yet widespread. Current approaches lack methods for seamless integration of Linked Data from multiple sources, dynamic discovery of available data and data sources, provenance and information quality assessment, application development environments, and appropriate end user interfaces. Addressing these issues requires well-founded research, including the development and investigation of concepts that can be applied in systems which consume Linked Data from the Web. Following the success of the 1st International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data, we organize the second edition of this workshop in order to provide a platform for discussion and work on these open research problems. The main objective is to provide a venue for scientific discourse ? including systematic analysis and rigorous evaluation ? of concepts, algorithms and approaches for consuming Linked Data.News2011-08-11: The original paper submission deadline has been changed into an Abstract submission deadline and the full paper submission deadline has been extended by four days. So, submit an Abstract of your paper on August 15, 2011, 23.59 Hawaii time and submit the full paper on August 19, 2011, 23.59 Hawaii time.2011-05-25: The workshop has been accepted for ISWC 2011.Important DatesAbstract submission deadline: August 15, 2011, 23.59 Hawaii timePaper submission deadline: August 19, 2011, 23.59 Hawaii time (extended from August 15, 2011)Acceptance notification: September 6, 2011Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: September 14, 2011Workshop date: October 23, 2011ObjectivesThe term Linked Data refers to a practice for publishing and interlinking structured data on the Web. Since the practice has been proposed in 2006, a grass-roots movement has started to publish and to interlink multiple open databases on the Web following the Linked Data principles. Due to conference workshops, tutorials, and general evangelism an increasing number of data publishers such as the BBC, Thomson Reuters, The New York Times, the Library of Congress, and the UK and US governments have adopted Linked Data principles. The ongoing effort resulted in bootstrapping the Web of Data which, today, comprises billions of RDF triples including millions of links between data sources. The published datasets include data about books, movies, music, radio and television programs, reviews, scientific publications, genes, proteins, medicine, and clinical trials, geographic locations, people, companies, statistical and census data, etc.Access to Linked Data presents exciting opportunities for the next generation of Web-based applications: data from different providers can be aggregated and fragmentary information from multiple sources can be integrated to achieve a more comprehensive view. While a few applications, such as the BBC music guide have used Linked Data to significant benefit, the deployment methodology has been to harvest the data of interest from the Web to create a private, disconnected repository for each specific application. Such an approach can only be the beginning; new concepts to consume Linked Data are required in order to exploit the Web of Linked Data to its full potential. The concepts, patterns and tools necessary are very different from situations when resource identifiers are local or known a-priori, whole-repository queries are possible, access to the repository is reliable and relevant data sources are known to be trustworthy.Several open issues that make the development of Linked Data based applications a challenging or still impossible task. These issues include the lack of approaches for seamless integration of Linked Data from multiple sources, for dynamic, on-the-fly discovery of available data, for information quality assessment, and for elaborate end user interfaces. These open issues can only be addressed appropriately when they are conceived as research problems that require the development and systematic investigation of novel approaches. The International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data (COLD) aims to provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of such approaches. Our main objective is to receive submissions that present scientific discussion (including systematic evaluation) of concepts and approaches, instead of exposition of features implemented in Linked Data based applications. For practical systems without formalization or evaluation we refer interested participants to other offerings at ISWC, such as the Semantic Web Challenge or the Demo Track. As such, we see our workshop as orthogonal to these events.Topics of InterestRelevant topics for COLD 2011 include but are not limited to:Web scale data management (indexing, crawling, etc.)Query processing over multiple linked datasetsSearch in the Web of DataAuto-discoveryof URIs,of additional data that is not from the authoritative source of a URI,of relevant linked datasets in generalCaching and replicationDataset dynamicsprocessing change notifications,keeping consistency,temporal tracking of linked datasetsReasoning on Linked Data from multiple sourcesKnowledge discovery deriving insights from the Web of DataInformation quality of Linked Datainformation quality assessment,trustworthiness,provenanceUser interface research for the interaction with the Web of Datauser interaction and usability,visualizing Linked Data,natural language interfacesSubmissionsWe seek full technical research papers with a length of up to 12 pages. In addition to these full papers, researchers are invited to submit short vision papers and short systems/demo paper with a length of up to 6 pages, respectively; vision and systems/demo papers must be clearly marked as such.Paper submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).Please submit your paper via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cold2011Submissions that do not comply with the formatting of LNCS or that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review.We note that the author list does not need to be anonymized, as we do not have a double-blind review process in place.Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers have to be presented at the workshop proceedings.ProceedingsProceedings will be published online at CEUR-WS.Workshop OrganizationThe workshop will be co-located with the 10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in Bonn, Germany, and will be held on October 23, 2011.To attend the workshop you have to register for the conference using the ISWC registration system.The workshop will also consist of:Opening session: This will permit introduction of the workshop topics, goals, participants, and expected outcomes.Keynote speaker: Prof. Daniel P. Miranker (University of Texas at Austin, US) will give a kaynote at the workshop.Research Track: Accepted research papers will be presented at the workshop.Visions Track: Accepted visions papers will be presented at the workshop.Systems/Demo Track: Accepted systems/demo papers will be presented at the workshop.Communication: Networked communication will be encouraged during the workshop using IRC, microblogging and other services, provided with the official hashtag (#cold2011) to follow the live-stream of the event.Organizing CommitteeJuan Sequeda, University of Texas at Austin, USAOlaf Hartig, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, GermanyAndreas Harth, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, GermanyProgramme CommitteeJose Luis Ambite, University of Southern California, USACosmin Basca, University of Zurich, SuisseSean Bechhofer, University of Manchester, UKChristian Bizer, Freie Universität Berlin, GermanyGong Cheng, Nanjing University, ChinaOscar Corcho, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, SpainRichard Cyganiak, DERI, IrelandLi Ding, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USAChristina Feilmayr, Johannes Kepler University of Linz, AustriaFabien Gandon, INRIA - Edelweiss, FranceYolanda Gil, University of Southern California, USAHugh Glaser, University of Southampton, UKPaul Groth, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, NetherlandsClaudio Gutierrez, Universidad de Chile, ChileHarry Halpin, University of Edinburgh, UKMichael Hausenblas, DERI, IrelandTom Heath, Talis, UKRalf Heese, Freie Universität Berlin, GermanyIvan Herman, W3CKatja Hose, Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, GermanyHak-Lae Kim, Samsung R&D, KoreaLalana Kagal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USAIan Millard, University of Southampton, UKAlexandre Passant, DERI, IrelandAxel Polleres, DERI, IrelandKai-Uwe Sattler, TU Illmenau, GermanyBernhard Schandl, University of Vienna, AustriaSimon Schenk, University of Koblenz-Landau, GermanyRaphael Troncy, EURECOM, FranceBoris Villazon-Terrazas, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, SpainDenny Vrandecic, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, GermanyJun Zhao, University of Oxford, UKContactFor further information about the workshop, please contact the workshops chairs at cold.org.wsgooglemail.comAcknowledgementsThe workshop is party supported by the PlanetData project.
