The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals
who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and
encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information
managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from
organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the
largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts
and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of
semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies,
methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The
SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities
in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical
documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search,
document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary
management.
The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280
attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a
long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world.
There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case
prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss
semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information
managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist
departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic
software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with
experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value
to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage
of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a
long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make
SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe.
SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot
topics:
* Data Quality Management
* Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics)
* Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org
* Corporate Knowledge Graphs
* Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies

Posters & Demos Track
The Posters & Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in progress,
late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller contributions
in all fields related to the broadly understood Semantic Web. These
include submissions on innovative applications with impact on end users
such as demos of solutions that users may test or that are yet in the
conceptual phase, but are worth discussing, and also applications or
pieces of code that may attract developers and potential research or
business partners. This also concerns new data sets made publicly available.
The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages
participants to present innovations to the research community, business
users and find new partners or clients and engage in discussions about
the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the
future work of the presenters, while offering conference participants an
effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends
and to network with other researchers.
Poster and demo submissions should consist of a paper of 1-4 pages that
describe the work, its contribution to the field or novelty aspects.
Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for
publication elsewhere. All submissions should follow the ACM ICPS
guidelines for formatting. The layout templates can be found here:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The best
posters (5-6 papers) will be published in the digital library of the ACM
ICP Series. The other papers will be published in the
http://ceur-ws.org/. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2016research). Papers
must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format.
Other formats will not be accepted. For the camera-ready version, the
source files (Latex, Word) will also be needed.
Submissions will be reviewed by experienced and knowledgeable
researchers and practitioners; each submission will receive a detailed
feedback. For demos, it would be beneficial to include also links
enabling the reviewers testing the application or reviewing the component.

Introduction
What kind of smart applications can we build, if we were able to
integrate all available knowledge, data and language resources in a
meaningful way? In order to realize the dream of artificial
intelligence, it is necessary to focus on knowledge engineering to build
information machines that enable humans to perform more efficiently in
their tasks. To achieve this goal, we believe the following two
prerequisites must be met:
* Knowledge and data must be rendered in a discoverable way and then
transformed, linked, enriched and integrated homogeneously in a huge
semantic knowledge graph
* Language technologies must first be leveraged in order to understand,
categorize and structure available textual content in all its forms.
Then, language technology must assist in building adequate interfaces
that allow humans to interact effectively with data and information via
discovery, querying and reorganization.
Research in this workshop focuses on contextualising data and ontologies
as well as capturing deep linguistic knowledge to improve machine
understanding.
Purpose and scope
Some international initiatives such as the LIDER European project
(www.lider-project.eu ) and the W3C OntoLex, BPMLOD, and LD4LT community
groups, as well as the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) Working Group
for Open Data in Linguistics (OWLG), have promoted an ecosystem of
linguistic linked open data (LLOD)
One of the main motivations of this workshop is to move the LLOD cloud
to its next phase in which innovative applications will be developed
overcoming the language barriers on the Web.
The KÉKI workshop is targeted at anyone interested in Semantic Web,
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing technologies and we are
especially welcoming submissions focussing on either domain topics or
technological topics or both.
Domain Topics
* Data related to Linguistics and NLP:
* language resource such as, but not limited to: corpora, treebanks,
dictionaries and lexicographical resources
* Linguistic and NLP Ontologies
* proposals for novel models or extension of existing models such as
lemon, NIF, POWLA, MARL, NERD
* Linguistic linked open data
* metadata, license issues, indexes, collections, repositories,
workflows that deal with Linguistic LOD as a whole
* Web services and tools ingesting or producing linguistic linked data
and annotations
Technological Topics
* Knowledge Integration
* Vocabularies and Models for integrating resources (and Ontology
Engineering)
* Dataset metrics and quality assessment
* Query federation and question answering
* Metadata for linked data knowledge
* Discoverability of data
* Knowledge Extraction
* NLP techniques for knowledge extraction and machine reading
* Information extraction and ontology learning
* Pattern recognition and extraction for IE
* Resources and use cases
* Approaches using mappings and their maintenance from structured
sources (RDB, XML, JSON), from semistructured sources (XHTML), from
unstructured sources (Text)
Submission Guidelines
________________
We invite submissions in the form of regular long and short papers.
All workshop papers must represent original and unpublished work that is
not currently under review. Papers will be evaluated according to their
significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and
relevance to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper is
expected to attend the workshop upon acceptance. Submission is
single-blind, i.e. author names are visible, only reviewers stay anonymous.
All papers should follow the LNCS guidelines for formatting and must not

-------- Messaggio inoltrato --------
Oggetto: [Wiki-research-l] Proposal: Building a database of
etymological relationships and an Interactive and Visual Etymology
Dictionary based on Wiktionary
Data: Fri, 22 Apr 2016 16:32:47 +0200
Mittente: Ester Pantaleo
Hello,
I am writing to get some feedback/suggestion on an IGE grant proposal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym…>
I submitted to Wikimedia that might be of interest to the research
community.
I am working on an interactive visualization tool for etymological
relationships and I produced a demo of my interactive visualization
*etytree*:
http://www.epantaleo.com/2015/12/01/etymology-tree/
The aim of the application is to visualize - in one graph - the
etymology of all words deriving from the same ancestor. Users can
expand/collapse the tree to visualize what they are interested in. The
textual part attached to the graph can be easily translated in any
language and the app would become a multilingual resource. My idea is to
use dbnary's extraction-framework (for Wiktionary) and develop a
(possibly) smart pre-processing strategy to translate Wiktionary textual
etymology into a graph database of etymological relationships.
The database of etymological relationships will be available for the
community and can be used as a resource to study the history of
languages, how pronunciation evolved through time, and eventually how
semantics evolved through time.
The link to the grant proposal is
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym…
Feedback from the community is important to receive a grant from the
Wikimedia foundation so please leave a feedback there if you are
interested in the project.
Thanks a lot!

<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/The_visual_editor_at_Wikis…>,
that I wrote to make it easier to try the visual editor at your wiki, now
that it's been made available as a Beta Feature there (featuring the
"single edit tab" system).
Please let your communities know about it!
If you need help with anything, use the venues listed on that page, or
leave a message on the talk page.

As in the previous years, SEMANTiCS’16 proceedings are expected to be
published by ACM ICP.
The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals
who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and
encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information
managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from
organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the
largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts
and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of
semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies,
methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The
SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities
in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical
documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search,
document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary
management.
The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280
attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a
long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world.
There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case
prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss
semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information
managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist
departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic
software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with
experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value
to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage
of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a
long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make
SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe.
