Call for papers

Integration of semantic technologies in Computer-supported Office Work (COW)

is a hot research topic in knowledge management and semantic web communities.

The aim of the research in this field is to increase the performance of

knowledge work by:

Providing knowledge workers with tools for effective information organization and quick information access

Intelligent information search

Context-aware information assistance

During the last decade, dozens of research projects worldwide were targeted at

developing methodologies, technologies and tools to solve problems of

knowledge workers.

However, after years, semantic technologies are still not a part of daily work

performed by office workers outside computer laboratories. Reasons are

manifold: low user acceptance, huge modeling effort needed to bootstrap

solutions.

The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers who are working on

integrating semantic technologies in habitual office environment to exchange

information and knowledge about problems preventing successful implementation

of promising semantic web ideas in real office environments and to discuss

about possible solutions of these problems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Semantic annotations in COW

a. Tagging documents and e-mails using semantic data structures, e.g.

Linked Data

b. Using RDFa in HTML Mails

c. Annotating e-mail attachments

d. Enriching document content with semantic mashups

e. Semantic e-mail markups in e-mail headers

f. Semantic annotation in Instant Messaging

2. Efficient search and navigation in semantically annotated collections of

documents and e-mails

a. Semantic search in COW

b. Extending Microsoft search to support semantic search

3. Semi-automatic knowledge extraction from user interaction logs in office

environment

a. Enriching semantic data structures by user interaction data

b. Supporting identified interaction habits based on semantic data

structures

4. Semi-automatic document classification

a. E-mail/IM classification using background knowledge bases

b. Ontology-based classification

c. Classifying parts of bigger documents

5. Architectures supporting semantic technologies in computer-aided office

work

a. Architectures for storing semantic document metadata (server-based vs.

embedded)

b. Semantic indexing (documents, e-mail, IM)

c. Storing metadata related to parts of larger documents

d. Semantic data formats and vocabularies supporting e-mails and document

annotations: RDF, eRDF, Linked Data

e. Semantic data structures to annotate user-system interaction in office

environments

f. Workflow-supportive architectures for digital collaborative work

6. Extending Office applications to utilize semantic technologies

a. Developing Plugins for integrating semantic technologies in MSOffice

documents

b. Extending MSOffice SmartTags functionality to use semantic structures

c. PlugIns leveraging application interaction based on semantic

technologies

d. Application integration based on semantic technologies

e. Semantic Communication Support Systems
