First Call for Papers STICA06
1st International Workshop on Semantic Technologies in Collaborative
Applications STICA06
at the
15th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures
for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE-2006) The University of Manchester,
Manchester, U.K. (26th-28th June 2006)
http://nbi.inf.fu-berlin.de/conf/STICA06
==========================================================
MOTIVATION
==================
With distributed information systems and the Internet continually increasing
in significance, collaboratively creating and managing information has
become an essential requirement for the success of (virtual) organizations.
This situation has led to a plethora of platforms supporting cooperation as
well as joint information access among geographically dispersed user
communities that have emerged in the last decades: collaborative information
spaces, tele-cooperation, autonomous agents or, more recently, various
Web-related forms of communication and cooperation such as discussion
forums, community portals, Wikis and blogs.
A fundamental requirement for an effective collaboration is the availability
of technologies and tools which provide an explicit and unambiguous
representation of the shared information and a feasible management of such
semantics-enhanced information repositories. The emergence of the Semantic
Web has marked an important stage in the evolution of semantic
technologies. In this context the knowledge components i.e. ontologies are
formalized using Web-suitable, but in the same time semantically unambiguous
representation languages, are accessible and can be shared and reused across
the World Wide Web.
The Semantic Web offers new opportunities for the next generation of
collaborative applications: it provides us with novel means to classify
information items i.e. by means of ontologies which formally represent the
consensual understanding of the application users w.r.t. a particular domain
of interest. Taking advantage of this technology, the first promising
implementations of Semantic Web-based collaboration platforms such as
Semantic Web portals, semantic Wikis and blogs, to name only a few, have
been proposed.
This workshop aims at contributing to this young application field by
providing a forum for practitioners and researchers to present innovative
approaches to applying Semantic Web technologies in collaborative
environments and to discuss the opportunities and challenges related to this
topic.
OBJECTIVES
================
The primary objective of this workshop is to gather researchers and
practitioners working in different emerging aspects of semantics-enabled
collaboration, ranging from discovering new application scenarios, proposing
new methods to apply Semantic Web and related emerging technologies to
current environments, pointing out issues that still need to be solved, and
reporting results and experiences gained during the deployment of
collaborative methods and the realization of support systems.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
=================
We invite original academic and industry contributions which report on
issues related to semantic collaboration.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-- Methodologies for collaboratively creating and managing
shared information
-- Collaborative ontology engineering
-- Semantic collaboration applications
-- Collaborative Semantic Web portals
-- Semantic community support systems
-- Semantic Wikis
-- Semantic Blogging
-- Semantic Mindmapping and Conceptmapping
-- Case studies, lessons learned and experience reports on
semantics-aware collaborative applications
-- Studies on the value added to collaboration by semantic
technologies
-- Future research directions in the area of semantic
collaboration

Hi,
on http://fftw.org/~stevenj/Nature-reviews.doc, there is now a Microsoft
Word document describing the "errors" (in a broader sense) found by the
reviewing persons.
With this list, it is now much easier to deal with these articles. Note
that the kind of "error" varies from minor factual errors (wrong year)
to some kind of overall criticism (wrong proportions for competing
theories).
However, it should be possible to bring the number of "errors" in those
42 articles down to a much lower number (...and we can introduce brand
new ones, yeah!).
Thanks for helping out.
The folks at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_peer_review/Nature_December…
will be thankful for your efforts in this matter.
At de.wikipedia, I am preparing an FAQ about this review, you might want
to join or do something in your own language. There was way too much
misinterpretation done by the press (mostly "in favour" of wikipedia,
which is not a good thing).

As regards consistent style, IMHO, William Emigh and Susan Herring
have one of the best pieces of research on Wikipedia that I've seen
published. Using genre analysis techniques, they find that a sample of
Wikipedia articles are (read: were at the time of the study) quite
uniform and, statistically speaking, stylistically indistinguishable
from a print encyclopedia.

I've just read the article here:
http://www.nature.com/news/2005/051212/full/438900a.html
Will you be publishing more detail on the results? There is a horde
of researchers interested in these findings.
When building software that is to give language education, the issues
associated with the training material itself is only one aspect of
bringing it to a public. You have to have the material in order for the
secondary issues to become relevant. This article is about some of the
parts that are infrastructural to the delivery of language training as
developed by the University of Bamberg and reflects discussions and
thinking that grew over time.
When we discussed about how to do provide access to the training
material, we discussed several scenario's; individual people using the
material, schools using the material as exercise material and even
having a full language course in "Wikiversity". The consequence of all
this is that people from many organisations will have a need to gain
access to the educational process data that is needed. To me it is
obvious that this is certainly as complicated as the development of the
language training software itself, it is equally obvious that it is best
to link into existing programs. When these programs are part of an
international effort to make educational resources available on the
Internet we are onto a winner.
There are several components that are required. Security for access.
Security for the educational process data. Availability to the data and
the software. And it is at least as important that the software can be
found by the educators and by students.
The last few days I have been looking into this and I found that there
are many projects that are Open/Free and that can fit the requirements
that exist. In this it was quite fortunate that I was at the I&I
conference in the Netherlands where I learned many of the necessary buzz
words.
For authentication the a-select project is really great. It allows for
the federation of trust and it does it in such a way that even
commercial banks cooperate in this project. Storing the educational
process data is operational information that may fit in an e-portfolio,
this in turn is part of the IMS framework. For finding the existence of
the material, there is good old advertising but having standards like
IEEE LOM on our side makes abundant sense.
In a way it may be premature to consider all this for the language
training. But given the amount of time that it will take to implement
all this I am afraid it is not really. The point that is driven home by
making use of these standards is that indeed we care about the
sustainability of the effort that is put into the development of the
language learning software.
As the Wikimedia Foundation is at this time considering the
implementation of single login for within its resources, it is an
opportune moment to see if the WMF can be persuaded to look into the
a-select authorisation system. Because of its ability to federate
security, it has the necessary hooks to give teachers access to their
students and not more than that. I spoke with Brion, the main developer
of the Mediawiki software and he can be persuaded to look into this. I
will need assistance to make a good pitch to him. It must be clear that
by implementing A-select within the WMF environment we are talking about
serious scalability; 80.000 people doing 10 or more edits a month is
just a tip of an iceberg. The iceberg is Alexa.com <http://Alexa.com>
stating that we are the 36^th website of the world with all that it
implies..
The operational education data is part of a students "portfolio", what I
have not understood yet is if the level where we need this data is to
low level but when skills are acquired it does make sense when it finds
its way into a students portfolio. The current approaches to portfolios
are not going to the detailed level of the individual training modules.
This is however relevant as it has its impact on the amount of time /
training necessary to acquire a skill.
By having the data and software on WMF servers, I expect we will host it
with an organisation that is neutral to many organisations and is there
for the long haul.
We can create the greatest software, have it in the greatest
infrastructure but people will still have to find it. IEEE LOM is a
standard that is really there for finding educational material. At the
I&I conference I learned how much the Dutch education is getting into
this. Edustandaard is a Dutch implementation of the IEEE LOM standard.
Many companies that supply schools with software are interested in
having Mediawiki support IEEE LOM natively. Certainly when there is
cooperation to make this work this will become a reality.

Call for Papers and Contributions
KnowRight 2006
Knowledge Rights –
Legal, Societal and Related Technological Aspects
http://KnowRight06.ocg.at
University of Vienna (Juridicum - Law Faculty Building)
16 - 17 February 2006
Organized by: Austrian Computer Society (OCG) jointly with
IRIS (Internationales Rechtsinformatik Symposium)
http://www.univie.ac.at/RI/IRIS2006/
CONFERENCE OUTLINE
This conference will resume the general interest of the KnowRight
Conferences, held since 1995, on the interaction of Intellectual Property
Rights, related Information Rights, Ethical Problems, and Information
Dependent Technology. It will be supported by the Austrian Computer
Society and will be held in tandem with the IRIS conference
(Internationales Rechtsinformatik Symposion). It will provide strong
emphasis on the social environment in which the intellectual and
information property system, information services, mobile applications,
e-commerce and the electronic civil society evolve.
The concept of an ”Information Society” or "Knowledge Society" is
neither well defined nor are its foundations and implications well
understood. Governments and authorities in many countries and
regions (e.g. the EU) are still discussing options to establish and
regulate at least special aspects of an Information Society. Increasingly
it becomes harder to master future technologies with traditional laws
based on national or regional methods and concepts. We have to
develop new forms of international legal regimes and practices. They
should empower coordinated means to avoid abuse of such new
technologies.. Fairness should be preserved in the emerging non-local
availability of up to now local resources. Open Source and Open
Content are investigated as examples of dynamic innovations of legal
concepts. The conference will discuss which requirements - such as
safety and security of related methods and media - must be fulfilled and
how these requirements may be enforced. Which regulations and
preventive measures should be promoted in the light of conflicting
interests. Regulating the flow of information must guarantee that
clashes between individual rights (e.g. of intellectual/ industrial
property,
privacy and data protection) and collective demands (e.g. for security,
universal access as well as preserving and expanding the heritage of
mankind) are treated and resolved in human ways. Information in the
public domain on the wired or unwired communication channels should
deserve special attention. Commercial interests should be balanced
with moral and civic obligations.

Hello alltogehter,
we all know we have a problem on meta. We have there a lot of
information but it's hard to find tham, if you don't know exactly what
you are looking for. Exspecialy in the research / new idea area it's
hard to find the new things, new projects and so on.
The question is how we can solve that. I think one possible answer is to
build a Reserach Portal on Meta like theme portals in the wikipedia.
What do you think?
And the more importend question who will help with that? I'm not the
best portal builder :-)
