ISA 2012 - Eighth Joint ISO-ACL/SIGSEM Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation
Topics/Call fo Papers
Eighth Joint ISO-ACL/SIGSEM Workshop on
Interoperable Semantic Annotation ISA-8
Pisa, October 3-5, 2012
"ISA in Pisa"
Purpose
ISA-8 is the eighth edition in a series of joint workshops of the ACL SIGSEM
Working Group "The Representation of Multimodal Semantic Information" (see
http://sigsem.uvt.nl/) and ISO TC 37/SC 4 (Language Resources) WG 2:
Annotation and representation schemes.
These workshops bring together experts in the annotation of semantic
information as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, and in
multiple modalities combined. Examples of semantic annotation include the
markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts, discourse relations, and
semantic roles, for which the International Organisation for Standards ISO
pursues the establishment of annotation standards, in order to support the
creation of interoperable semantic resources.
Topics of the ISA-8 workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:
* methodological aspects of semantic annotation
* experiments in semantic annotation
* semantic annotation and semantic interpretation
* semantic annotation, ontologies, and inferencing
* the semantics of semantic annotations
* applications of semantic annotation
* issues in semantic annotation in specific domains, such as
* time and space
* events, states, processes, facts,...
* semantic roles
* relations in discourse
* domain-independent issues in semantic annotation, such as
negation, modality, quantification, sentiment, and attribution
* integration of annotations across domains
* best practices in semantic annotation
* developments in projects that aim to define semantic annotation standards
Submissions
Four types of submissions are invited:
* research papers, describing original research relating to semantic
annotation;
these can be long (6-8 pages) or short (3-4 pages);
* project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects
involving semantic annotation (2-4 pages);
* demonstration notes, accompanying demonstrations of software tools
for supporting manual semantic annotation or software systems for automatic
semantic annotation (2-4 pages);
* commentaries on ongoing ISO projects concerned with semantic annotation
standards (2 -4 pages).
Submissions should be prepared in Latex using the ACL 2011 format - see
http://www.acl2011.org/authors.html Information about electronic submission
will be provided later.
Important dates
* Submission deadline: 25 August
* Notification of paper acceptance: 4 September
* Camera-ready papers due: 14 September
* ISA-8 Workshop: October 3-5, 2012 (2.5 days)
