Call for Papers I-Semantics 2009: International Conference on
Semantic Systems
http://www.i-semantics.at Scope ===== I-SEMANTICS 2009 (www.i-semantics.at)
is the 5th conference in the I-SEMANTICS series and provides a forum for
academic and industrial research & development that focuses on
semantic technologies and the Semantic Web. I-SEMANTICS 2009 will bring
together both researchers and practitioners in the areas of Social Software and
the Semantic Web in order to present and develop innovative ideas that
help realising the “Social Semantic Web” and the
“Corporate Semantic Web”. I-SEMANTICS 2009 will be the host of this year`s
regional Pragmatic Web Conference as well as the second edition of the
TRIPLIFICATION Challenge. Further on I-SEMANTICS will be complemented by I-KNOW
(www.i-know.at), the International Conference on Knowledge Management. This
setup is aiming to reflect the increasing importance and convergence of
knowledge management and semantic systems. Topics ====== Social Software systems such as Blogs and Wikis have
led to a dramatic increase of content available on the Web and within
organisations. Professional content is nowadays to large extents created by independent
individuals instead of large publishers, it is shared and made available free
of charge, and often constantly improved by collaborative processes. A question
that is yet unsolved, is how to find the relevant information in increasingly
large and complex content bases, a problem where technologies developed in the
course of the Semantic Web initiative can help. Likewise, it will be beneficial
to harness social content production not only for traditional content but also
for the creation and improvement of machine-understandable knowledge, such as
meta-data, taxonomies and ontologies for purposes on the web as well as within
organisations. The special focus of I-SEMANTICS 2009 is
„Semantic Web & Semantic Social Software – Pragmatic Aspects
for Corporations, Communities and Individuals”. As a conference aiming to bring together science and
industry, I-SEMANTICS encourages both, scientific (research/application) and
industrial contributions. The following table summarises the topics we are
interested in: Semantic Social Software ------------------------ • Semantic / structured blogging • Semantic / structured tagging • Semantic wikis • Semantic content management systems • Semantic data web: browsers and end-points • Semantic desktop • Semantic mashups • Storage, inference and caching for scalable
SSW applications Semantic Content Engineering ---------------------------- • Ontology Engineering & Ontology Merging • Ontology Design Patterns • Ontology Life Cycle Management • Ontology Learning • Ontology and semantic knowledge federation • Linguistic and statistic approaches
(text-mining, NLP, etc.) for structuring and extracting content and entities • Automated annotation, extreme tagging and
digital curation approaches Web of Data and Linked Data --------------------------- • Contributing to the linked data cloud • Triplification approaches • Vocabularies, taxonomies, schemas • Semantic interoperability • Upper level ontologies for open data • Linked Data Applications & Linked Data
Browsing • Querying Linked Data • Using Linked Data in Enterprises Building Blocks for Semantic Web Applications --------------------------------------------- • Rules and ontologies as building blocks for
Semantic Web Applications • Existing tools and applications • Application domains • Application stacks for the design of semantic
applications • Design processes from requirements to
maintenance • Design patterns, Best practices and Reference
Models • Persistence of semantic data • Applications utilizing open data sets • Semantic media management and retrieval • Semantic web services • Semantifying legacy web applications and
semantic heterogeneous information systems • Social semantic web and mobile services • User-interface components, template languages
supporting semantic social content • Integration of distributed semantic
repositories • Policy Awareness & Policy Aware Web Pragmatic Web ------------- For a detailed description of the topics of this
year`s Pragmatic Web Conference (ICPW 09) please go to http://www.pragmaticweb.info/ • Theories, Frameworks, Models and
Methods...inspired by Pragmatics and Pragmatism, or less formally, case study
reflections on "pragmatic" uses of the Web that supported the
negotiation of social/work relationships and common ground • Applied pragmatic theory • Communication, dialogue and argumentation
models • Pragmatic Web media for communicative actions • Pragmatic collaboration and coordination
tools • Pragmatic context models (e.g. within
conversation-based collaborations) • Pragmatic design principles for Web contents
where trust and commitment to action play a role • Vocabularies / ontologies for pragmatic
primitives (e.g. speech acts, deontic primitives, etc.) • Linguistic metaphor: its value for framing
the Syntactic, Semantic and Pragmatic Web • Pragmatic model of scientific inquiry in
Semantic Web research • Negotiation, mediation, conflict resolution,
and coordination combining existing ontologies and schemata, collaborative
ontology sharing and matching techniques • Integrative frameworks: approaches to
integrating insights from component disciplines (e.g. language-action
perspectives,cognition, linguistics, semiotics, knowledge representation,
philosophy, interaction design, negotiation, media studies) • Pragmatic reasoning supporting adaptive
semantic collaboration and virtual collaborative teams • Sense making, analysis and decision-making in
a cooperative or non-cooperative pragmatic model • Argumentation, dialogue and debate • Personalized / role-based Pragmatic Web
Agents and intelligent conversation or action based web services • Pragmatic Web based human-human and
human-computer interaction • Semiotically motivated approaches to
information systems • Semiotic engineering and Semiotics in
business computing • Semiotic theory, concepts, methods and
techniques, and their practical applications Studies, Metrics & Benchmarks ----------------------------- • Case studies of semantic systems usage • Use cases for semantic web systems • Evaluation perspectives, methods and Semantic
Web research methodologies • Technology assessment, acceptance/media
choice theories • Usability and user interaction with semantic
technologies • Analysis of emergent effects within social
software • Ontology quality models • Quality analysis of socially generated
semantic content Corporate Semantic Web ---------------------- • Semantics, Pragmatics and Semiotics in
Organizations • Corporate Semantic Web business applications
and deep semantic web • Social software in a corporate context • Semantic Business Information Management • Semantic • Corporate thesauri, corporate business
vocabularies / ontologies and business rules • Semantic Computer Supported Cooperative Work • Semantic Business Process Management • Semantic Business Information Systems • Semantic technologies in enterprise
governance, enterprise decision management and enterprise operations management
• Economic and entrepreneurial aspects of
semantic-enriched enterprise application systems and enterprise service
networks • Economies of "attention" for
semantic collaboration • Business models for social semantic web
applications • Business use and use cases for corporate

Challenge. We encourage submissions such as: • Applications of Linked Data tools and
techniques such as for example Triplify, Virtuoso or D2RQ on custom Web
applications and data sets exposing a large quantity and variety of content. • Implementations of exporters and mappers from
existing content repository formats (such as mbox mailing list archives,
BibTeX, XML-Schemes etc.) into RDF and Linked Data. • Adoptions / configurations of Triplify for standard
Web applications, such as for example Wikis, Weblogs, Webshops, Forums,
Web-Gallery, ERP/CRM systems and Web-calendar software. You can find popular
Web applications for example at SourceForge. • Portings of the Triplify script into other
Web application programming languages such as Python, Ruby, Perl, ASP. The
Triplify script is very small (<300 lines of code) however, the port should
be as compatible as possible with the current reference implementation but
integrate well with the environment given by the programming language. • Applications showcasing the benefits of
Linked Data to end-users such as for information syndication, specialized
search, browsing or augmentation of content. The challenge is open to anyone interested in
applying Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. This might include
students, developers, researchers, and people from industry. Individual or
group submissions are both acceptable. Please find further information at http://i-semantics.tugraz.at/triplification_challenge.
