Diversity 2015 - International Workshop on Diversity++

Semantic Web is becoming pervasive in new, unconventional application domains such as oceanography, astronomy, music, bioinformatics, healthcare etc. Interestingly, besides the Semantic Web theory and best practices, new and sometimes different trends can be found in the usage of Semantic Web principles and tools in these domains such as the adoption of specific patterns while exploiting Semantic technologies, the usage of additional conceptual modeling such as UML and Markov Chains. This workshop intends to offer a forum of discussion, for researchers and practitioners, concerning the exploitation of Semantic Web principles and tools in these new and unconventional domains. It aims at reaching a twofold objective: broadening the view and experience in the adoption of the Semantic Web principles and practice in different domains; offering the Semantic Web view, from people inside the community, to researchers and practitioners coming from different domains and interested in exploiting Semantic Web principles and practices.
