Wikipedia,
The following is a "call for papers" for a conference to be held in
Irvine, California, this fall. Wikipedia might fit as a topic for a
paper. Any takers? Can a paper be coauthored as a wiki page? :-)
Paper Submission Deadline: May 31, 2002

=============================
International Conference on
Ontology's, DataBases, and Applications of
Semantics for Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE)
October 29 - November 1, Irvine, California
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/odbase/2002
Proceedings to be published by IEEE Press
A key challenge in making the Internet and the Web a more friendly and
productive place is to fill more meaning to the vast and continuously
growing amount of data on the Net. This is a vision that is shared
both by the Worl Wide Web community, incarnated by the notion of the
ôSemantic Webö coined by Tim Berners Lee, and researchers from a
number of areas including data and knowledge engineering, databases,
intelligent agent systems, information retrieval, information sciences
and linguistics. The claim is that the emergence of meaning that is
associated with data and documents found on the Internet will boost
diverse applications such as e-commerce, enterprise and information
integration, knowledge engineering, geographic information systems,
digital libraries, ubiquitous computing, and intelligent information
access. Data semantics and ontologies for large-scale information
systems have become an important topic in research communities across
several displines, research funding agencies, as well as various
industries.
The international conference on Ontology's, DataBases, and
Applications of Semantics intends to create a forum to exchange views,
ideas and experiences on ontologies and data semantics from different
disciplines. A goal of the ODBASE conference is to bring researchers
from databases, Semantic Web, and knowledge management together to
discuss specific problems and promising approaches to providing more
meaning for the growing amount of data on the Internet and in
ubiquitous computing. A unique character of the ODBASE conferences is
its specialization on data semantic issues for very large ontology and
Internet systems, and its strong emphasis on interdisciplinarity and
practical applicability of systems, tools and methods for supporting
semantics in large-scale information systems. The program committee of
ODBASE 2002 consists of leading experts from diverse discplines
including formal ontology, databases, geographic information systems,
library science, logic, and knowledge management. We have special
interest in papers that bridge traditionally separated areas such as
databases, intelligent systems, and knowledge engineering, and papers
that address issues of scalability in data semantics on the Internet
and ubiquitous computing systems.
ODBASE'02 is part of the Federated Symposium Event that is organized
within the global theme "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems
and Ubiquitous Computing 2002". This federated event co-locates three
related and complementary successful conferences in the areas of
Intelligent Networked Information Systems, covering key issues in Data
and Web Semantics (ODBASE'02), Distributed Objects, Infrastructure and
Enabling Technology and Internet Computing (DOA'02), and Workflow,
Cooperation, and Interoperability (CoopIS'02), as required for the
deployment of Internet- and Intranet-based systems in organizations
and for e-business. More details about this federated event can be
found at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf.
Areas of interest of ODBASE'02 include but are not limited to:
* Representation and Storage:
Information, Data and Knowledge Modeling
Ontology Languages
Hypertext and Hypermedia
Semi-Structured Data
Multimedia Data and Metadata
Semantics of E-Services

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission Deadline: May 31, 2002
Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2002
Final Version Due: August 20, 2002
Conference: October 30 - November 1, 2002
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Papers
that bridge two or more areas should be marked as BRIDGE papers. They
will be reviewed jointly by the appropriate PC sub-areas. All
submissions must be in English. Research submissions must not exceed
8,000 words. Submissions can either be in Postscript, MS Word, or Pdf
format and should be done through the following URL
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/submit.html
The final proceedings will be published by IEEE Press. Failure to
commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a
paper from the proceedings.
