[CfP] 6th Workshop on Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2013)
Call for Papers: 6th Workshop on Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2013) Co-located with 22nd International World Wide Web Conference 14 May 2013, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2013/ Linked Data is a set of best practices for publishing structured data on the Web which focuses on setting hyperlinks between data items provided by different web servers. These hyperlinks connect the data from all servers into a single global data graph - the Web of Linked Data. The 6th Workshop on Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2013) aims to stimulate further research into exploiting this global data graph to deliver transformative applications to large user bases, as well as to mine the graph for implicit knowledge. Inevitably the challenges associated with Linked Data range from lower level 'plumbing' issues over large-scale data processing and mining, to higher level conceptual questions of value propositions and business models. LDOW2013 will provide a forum for exposing novel, high quality research and applications in all of these areas. In addition, by bringing together researchers in the field, the workshop will further shape the ongoing Linked Data research agenda. *Important Dates* * Submission deadline: 10 March, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: 30 March, 2013 * Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: 15 April, 2013 * Workshop date: 14 May, 2013 *Topics of Interest* Mining the Web of Linked Data * large-scale derivation of implicit knowledge from the Web of Data * using the Web of Linked Data as background knowledge in data mining Linking and Fusion * linking algorithms and heuristics, identity resolution * increasing the value of Schema.org/OpenGraphProtocol through linking * Web data integration and fusion * performance of linking infrastructures/algorithms on Web data Quality, Trust, Provenance and Licensing in Linked Data * profiling and change tracking of Linked Data sources * tracking provenance and usage of Linked Data * evaluating quality and trustworthiness of Linked Data * licensing issues in Linked Data publishing Linked Data Applications and Business Models * Linked Data browsers and search engines * Linked Data as data integration technology within corporate contexts * marketplaces, aggregators and indexes for Linked Data * interface and interaction paradigms for Linked Data applications * business models for Linked Data publishing and consumption * Linked Data applications for life-sciences, digital humanities, social sciences etc. *Submissions* We seek two kinds of submissions: 1.

CFP: First Worldwide Web Workshop on Linked Media (LiME 2013) at WWW 2013
Apologies for cross-posting CFP: First Worldwide Web Workshop on Linked Media (LiME 2013) http://www.linkedtv.eu/event/lime2013/ The workshop is co-located with the WWW 2013 conference held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 13th of May 2013. Deadlines: - Workshop paper deadline: February 25th 2013, 23:59PM Hawaii Time - Workshop paper notifications: March 13th 2013, 23:59PM Hawaii Time - Workshop paper final copy (ACM HARD DEADLINE): April 3rd 2013, 23:59PM Hawaii Time Objective/goals of the workshop: If the future Web will be able to fully use the scale and quality of online media, a Web scale layer of structured media annotation is needed, which we call Linked Media. This 1st world wide web workshop on Linked Media (LiME-2013) aims at promoting the principles of Linked Media on the Web by gathering media owner stakeholders and semantic media researchers to exchange current research and development work on online media description creation, publication, and processing. Specifically, we aim to promote a platform where automatic multimedia analysis results can be integrated into online media descriptions, making media more easily shared, queried and re-used. This will offer a wide range of possibilities for various stakeholders in the creative industries. We foresee an opportunity to build a core consensus on Linked Media technology and launch Linked Media for the Web, at the WWW2013 conference. We see WWW as an outstanding opportunity to kick-start collaboration on this emerging field of research. Statement of significance: To push further the evolution of the Rich Media Web, it is essential to establish consensus on online media annotation standards and demonstrate approaches to leverage them in Web applications. LiME-2013 focuses on identifying the key building blocks required to support the development of new Web tools and interfaces to support the growth and re-use of Linked Media. It will be built on current work in this area and foster collaboration between key stakeholders by supporting discussion also prior and post workshop. Workshop topics and themes: Today’s Web is a rich media Web – non-textual content is often now the first destination of online agents rather than HTML/textual resources. As a result, access to structured annotation of the online media is increasingly important for new Web applications capable of media search, retrieval, adaptation and presentation. Yet, the online media annotation space is still limited, fragmented and lacking in consensus for building Web tools and interfaces to support it. The W3C Ontology for Media Resources provides mappings between 18 different multimedia metadata schema or standards and took a first step towards a common schema model, which now requires championing in the research and industry communities. The least common denominator approach followed by the W3C group has lead to a small and useful vocabulary that fails to support more advanced use cases that require to describe the multimedia content at a fragment level and go beyond simple tagging. Furthermore, automatic multimedia analysis results are not considered by this vocabulary. If the future Web will be able to fully use the scale and quality of online media, a Web scale layer of structured media annotation is needed, which we call Linked Media, which is inspired by the Linked Data movement for making structured descriptions of resources more available online. Mobile and tablet devices, as well as connected TV introduce novel application domains that benefit from broad understanding and acceptance of Linked Media standards. LiME-2013 aims at promoting the principles of Linked Media on the Web by gathering media owning stakeholders and semantic media researchers to exchange current research and development work on online media description creation, publication, and processing. Important aspects to discuss revolve around (1) emerging approaches to online media descriptions (2) extracting such descriptions and linking them to external resources (3) aim to showcase practical use cases in this domain, also covering interaction aspects for single and group users. Workshop topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Approaches to online media descriptions 1.1. Aligning the fragmented approaches to online media description, its publication, and processing 1.2. Tools and approaches to search and retrieval of online media based on its structured description, scaling to the Web 1.3. Addressing issues of trust, quality and rights of online media; 2. Extracting and linking 2.1. Tools and approaches to lower the cost of creating structured descriptions of online media resources; 2.2. New methods of automatic, real time, metadata extraction of any online media content (including live streams); 2.3. Ideas how to incorporate Linked Data into media description (and benefit from the additional metadata of the Linked

RE: [Dbpedia-discussion] [ANN] Add your links to DBpedia workflow version 0.1 (this is also an RFC)
Hi, I see that you have also added EUNIS links for species. I can provide you with a much better quality, and I have forked the repo. But I am concerned about the use of owl:sameAs as the predicate. The community doesn't have consensus on the species names and we can't even agree on many species - e.g. is the goat in the Pyrenees the same species as the one in southern Spain or a subspecies? I don't want some OWL-aware query tool to be utterly confused. What I'm asking is: Can I use skos:exactMatch and skos:closeMatch instead of owl:sameAs? -- Sincerely yours / Med venlig hilsen, Søren Roug soren.r...@eea.europa.eu European Environment Agency, Kongens Nytorv 6, DK-1050 Copenhagen K Tel: +45 2368 3660 Jabber: r...@jabber.eea.europa.eu This email was delivered using 100% recycled electrons.

1st CfP: 3rd Workshop on USAGE ANALYSIS AND THE WEB OF DATA (USEWOD2013) @ ESWC 2013
=== First Call for Papers === 3rd Workshop on USAGE ANALYSIS AND THE WEB OF DATA (USEWOD2013) USEWOD DATA CHALLENGE Workshop at ESWC 2013 - Montpellier, France, 26 or 27 May 2013 http://data.semanticweb.org/usewod/2013/ Overview The purpose of this workshop is to investigate new developments concerning the synergy between semantics and semantic-web technology on the one hand, and the analysis and mining of usage data on the other hand. Semantics can be used to enhance the analysis of usage data. Usage data analysis can enhance semantic resources as well as Semantic Web applications. The emerging Web of Data demands a re-evaluation of existing evaluation techniques: the Linked Data community is recognizing that it needs to move beyond triple counts. Usage analysis is a key method for the evaluation of a datasets and applications. New ways of accessing information enabled by the Web of Data requires the development or adaptation of algorithms, methods, and techniques to analyze and interpret the usage of Web data instead of Web pages. The results can provide fine-grained insights into how semantic datasets and applications are being accessed and used by both humans and machines - insights that are needed for optimising the design and ultimately ensuring the success of semantic resources. Data Challenge == In addition to regular papers, USEWOD2013 includes a data challenge. We will release a dataset of usage data (server log files) from Linked Open Data sources. This year's challenge will be even more exciting than the USEWOD 2011 and 2012 challenges, as we add log files from bioportal.bioontology.org which is one of the most actively used terminology services in the biomedical domain, and well-known beyond the borders of the Computer Science research community. This adds a schema level perspective to the USEWOD dataset, enabling new kinds of analysis. In addition, actual logfiles will be provided from the two core sources of the USEWOD datasets: the conference metadata site Semantic Web Dog Food (data.semanticweb.org) and DBpedia (dbpedia.org). Participants are invited to present interesting analyses, applications, alignments, etc. for these datasets, and to submit their findings as a Data Challenge paper. For the best challenge submissions we will pursue publishing a journal special issue on studies exploiting the USEWOD dataset. Topics of interest == USEWOD2013 welcomes all research that combines usage data and the web of data, for instance work on: * Analysis and mining of usage logs of semantic resources and applications. * Inferring semantic information from usage logs. * Methods and tools for semantic analysis of usage logs. * Representing and enriching usage logs with semantic information. * Usage-based evaluation methods and frameworks; gold standards for evaluation of web applications. * Specifics and semantics of logs for content-consumption and content-creation. * Using semantics for recommendation, personalization and adaptation. * Usage-based recommendation, personalization and adaptation of semantic web applications. * Exploiting usage logs for semantic search. * Data sharing, privacy, and privacy-protecting policies and techniques. Important dates === * Release of Dataset for the USEWOD2013 Challenge: 31 January 2013 (tentative) * Paper submission deadline: 4 March 2013 * Workshop and Prize for USEWOD Challenge: 26 or 27 May 2013 Submission = The page limit for regular as well as challenge papers is 8 pages, but we also welcome shorter contributions.

RE: [Dbpedia-discussion] [ANN] Add your links to DBpedia workflow version 0.1 (this is also an RFC)
You might also consider http://umbel.org/umbel#isLike. Here's the definition: The property umbel:isLike is used to assert an associative link between similar individuals who may or may not be identical, but are believed to be so. This property is not intended as a general expression of similarity, but rather the likely but uncertain same identity of the two resources being related. This property can and should be changed if the certainty of the sameness of identity is subsequently determined. In general, we may not be able to assert that two individuals are the same based solely on current information on hand. However, there may be quite reasonable bases or methods that the two individuals are likely the same without being one hundred percent sure. umbel:isLike has the semantics of likely identity, but where there is some uncertainty that the two resources indeed refer to the exact same individual with the same identity. Such uncertainty can arise when, for example, common names may be used for different individuals (e.g., John Smith). It is appropriate to use this property when there is strong belief the two resources refer to the same individual with the same identity, but that association can not be asserted at the present time with certitude.

I also think this quite important. What I would really like to see is certain conceptual things in dbpedia is typed with skos:Concept. That gives me some assurance and encourages me (and probably others) to use skos:*Match where appropriate instead of slapping owl:sameAs. For instance, resources that are of type dbo:Country, can we have skos:Concept for these for starters? :) -Sarven On 01/17/2013 01:22 PM, Søren Roug wrote: Hi, I see that you have also added EUNIS links for species.

SV: [Dbpedia-discussion] [ANN] Add your links to DBpedia workflow version 0.1 (this is also an RFC)
I'm not sure I get the usefulness of skos:Concept in DBPedia. To get the list
of countries you can do
SELECT ?s WHERE {?s a dbo:Country}
If you do a SELECT ?s WHERE {?s a skos:Concept} you would get whatever someone
decided is a skos:Concept. In principle you could get all entities in the
database. To make it useful you'd have to make skos:Collections of all the
classes (i.e. dbo:Country) and then use skos:member to connect it all.
The skos:*Match predicates don't have domain/range properties, so they can be
used outside SKOS vocabularies without side-effects.

I also think this quite important.
What I would really like to see is certain conceptual things in dbpedia
is typed with skos:Concept. That gives me some assurance and encourages
me (and probably others) to use skos:*Match where appropriate instead of
slapping owl:sameAs.
For instance, resources that are of type dbo:Country, can we have
skos:Concept for these for starters? :)

Hi,
I see that you have also added EUNIS links for species. I can provide
you with a much better quality, and I have forked the repo. But I am
concerned about the use of owl:sameAs as the predicate. The community
doesn't have consensus on the species names and we can't even agree
on many species - e.g. is the goat in the Pyrenees the same species
as the one in southern Spain or a subspecies? I don't want some
OWL-aware query tool to be utterly confused.
What I'm asking is: Can I use skos:exactMatch and skos:closeMatch
instead of owl:sameAs?
