Adminstrative info for SIGMETRICS (for example unsubscribe): http://web.utk.edu/~gwhitney/sigmetrics.html *International Workshop on Semantics for Data* *Venue: JNU Convention Centre, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.* *Date: 2nd November 2014* *Time: 13 - 16 hrs * Research data is crucial for scientific investigations. The nature of data transactions and collaborations observed in international scientific communities clearly indicates that Big Data is a topic that is interdisciplinary and has cross-discipline applications. Metadata is usually associated with its role in retrieval of resources from large collections. Semantics enriched metadata facilitates context driven services that relate to the changing and evolving user communities that are often cross disciplinary. There are many metadata standards advocated for different domains, services and even entities such as organizations, persons, geoentities and services among several others. However, with increasing interest in research and practice of Big Data and availability of data, it is necessary to focus on Metadata for data which is a research area deemed to be nascent as of now. It is necessary to develop a community and an international think tank around the idea of 'metadata for data' and also focus on 'semantics' along with metadata at its inception itself. Data by itself does not directly convey anything but when enriched with semantics and metadata several useful services can be designed. SeMDAT is a workshop with a scope intended to explore the role of semantics and metadata for data. *Objectives*: The workshop aims to bring together international experts and practitioners in Big Data. SeMDAT will provide a platform for discussions highlighting opportunities, issues and challenges in Big data sourcing, storage, processing and applications. The workshop will emphasize on pragmatic approaches required to progress towards semantic solutions for data. *Format*: Workshop will consist of keynote speakers, and invited lectures demonstrations from world experts in Big Data. The content and proceedings will be comprehensive of the sub-topics and issues with emphasis on important aspects such as policy, access and availability, standards, tools and technology and processes among others *Participation*: (not limited to... ): Data managers, data science faculty, library and information professionals, research data managers, researchers, faculty students in related area across domains and services. *Registration is free for this workshop* *Further Details*: http://drtc1.isibang.ac.in/semdat/ -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
