Call For Papers - CFP

bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with different

aspects of semantics on the Web. ESWC2010 builds on the success of the

former European Semantic Web Conference series, but seeks to extend

its focus by collaborating with other communities and research areas,

in which web semantics play an important role -- within and outside

ICT. At the same time, ESWC2010 is a truly international conference,

not only "European".

Semantics of web content, enriched with domain theories (ontologies),

data about web usage, natural language processing, etc. will enable a

web that provides a qualitatively new level of functionality. It will

weave together a large network of human knowledge and make this

knowledge machine-processable. Various automated services, based on

reasoning with metadata and ontologies, will help the users to achieve

their goals by accessing and processing information in

machine-understandable form. This network of knowledge systems will

ultimately lead to truly intelligent systems, which will be employed

for various complex decision-making tasks. Research about web

semantics can benefit from ideas and cross-fertilization with many

other areas: Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing,

Database and Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia,

Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web Engineering, and Web

Science.

ESWC2010 will present the latest results in research and applications

in its field. The research program will be organised in targeted

research tracks. In addition, the conference will feature a tutorial

program, system descriptions and demos, a posters track, a Ph.D.

symposium, and a number of collocated workshops. The individual calls

for these events can be found on the conference Web site

(http://www.eswc2010.org/).

CONFERENCE TRACKS

To reflect its extended scope, the ESWC2010 research program is

organised in a number of tracks. Their specific topics of interest and

submission addresses are listed below.

WEB OF DATA

Over the last several years, billions of triples have been published

as Linked Open Data. This networked data set provides a resource for

both the development of novel applications and the enrichment of

others. While there are some existing applications (e.g. generic

linked data browsers), there are still numerous research challenges in

creating and supporting applications based on the Web of Data.

We encourage submissions to this track that build on existing, Linked

Open Data sources for evaluation and implementation. In the context of

the Web of Data, this track is interested, among others, in the

following topics:

- Applications that use Linked Data

- Data source discovery

- Browsing and aggregating approaches

- Integrating, matching, consolidating and interlinking

- Emergent semantics

- Privacy and security

- Trust and provenance

- Data quality and expressivity

- Caching and scalability

- Dynamic ("Real-time") Systems

- Quantitative and statistical approaches (hybrid reasoning)

- Intellectual property rights

- Novel data sources (posters)

- Novel scenarios for the usage (position papers)
