[edit] Workshop's description
Capturing knowledge by using markup techniques and by supporting semantic annotations is a major technique for creating metadata. It is beneficial in a wide range of content-oriented intelligent applications. One important Application for instance is the Semantic Web. The research about the WWW currently strives to augment syntactic information already present in the Web by semantic metadata in order to achieve a Semantic Web that human and software agents can understand. Here, one of the most urgent challenges now is a knowledge-capturing problem, i.e. how one may turn existing syntactic resources into knowledge structures. A solution is to markup web document in order to create metadata on the web or to author new documents in a way that they contain markup directly. Another application is the indexing and searching of multimedia (and multilingual) data. It is difficult to completely process the content of multimedia data, even with technologies based on natural language processing, image processing, machine vision and speech recognition. Therefore, Semantic annotation is one of the promising methodologies to define semantic structures on the content.
[edit] Workshop's goals
This workshop aims at bringing together members of different overlapping communities that share the interest on semantic authoring and annotation for developing methods and tools:
- Semantic Web researchers who use semantic authoring and annotation to enrich the web with distributed relational meta-data in order to enable a machine-readable web
- Member of the human language technology community, developing information extraction systems for the generation of meta-data
- People from the multimedia content domain, indexing and searching of multimedia (and multilingual) data
- Researchers who address innovative topics and applications by semantic annotation (Semantic annotation of databases, annotation of web/grid services, semantic hypertext, etc.)
This will give an opportunity to push further the discussion upon the potential of semantic annotation across these communities.
[edit] Topics of interest
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- semantic authoring and publishing
- document engineering
- deriving semantics from document structure and content
- ontology-based authoring and markup
- knowledge markup in the Semantic Web
- using semantic annotations to define knowledge
- integrated software architecture based on semantic annotation
- multimedia annotation (e.g. by using MPEG-7)
- annotation of software components
- linguistic aspects of semantic annotationv
- capturing knowledge through Information Extraction and NLP
- text mining for creating knowledge markup
- mining semantic information from blogs, forums or news sources
- collaborative, shared tagging and annotation
- evaluation of annotation frameworks
- semantic annotation in Semantic Wikis
- semantic annotation of multilingual web sources
- deriving formal semantics from flat tagging systems
- vocabularies and ontologies for semantic authoring and annotation
- tools for supporting knowledge markup, semantic annotation, sematic authoring
