SWAIE 2013 - International Workshop on Semantic Web and Information Extraction (SWAIE 2013)

We welcome high-quality papers about current trends in the areas listed in the following, non-exhaustive list of topics. We will seek application-oriented, as well as more theoretical papers and position papers. Each submission should explicitly address one or more of the three main topics. In addition to presenting specific results, the paper should discuss the more general implications for the topics and/or subtopics that it addresses. Where feasible, contributions should include a system demonstration that illustrates the key ideas of the work and encourages interactive discussion at the workshop. There will also be an opportunity to present late-breaking work or novel ideas as a 2-minute lightning talk during the afternoon; these topics may be the stimulus for further debate during the open discussion period.
1. Semantic Web-driven Information Extraction
? Integrating ontologies/Linked Open Data with Language Resources
? Enriching Information Extraction systems with Semantic Web data/technologies
? Complex Semantic Web-driven Information Extraction tasks e.g., relation extraction, event extraction
? Methods and metrics for evaluation of semantic annotations with respect to ontologies
? Incorporating semantics into Machine Learning approaches
? Recognition and representation of temporal information and dynamics
? Data aggregation, consolidation and enrichment
2. Information Extraction for the Semantic Web
? Extraction from unstructured versus semi-structured textual sources
? Dealing with the imperfections of Information Extraction techniques in the Semantic Web setting and their impact
? Multi-source or multilingual Information Extraction for ontology population
? Information extraction subtasks (e.g., terminology extraction, relation extraction, coreference resolution) for the Semantic Web
? Methods and metrics for evaluation of Information Extraction for the Semantic Web
3. Applications and Architecture
? Ontology-based Information Extraction for specific domains and applications, e.g. business analytics, healthcare and biomedicine, cultural heritage etc.
? Information Extraction for social media mining
? Scalability of tools and resources
? Platforms and architectures for automatic and semi-automatic semantic annotation
? Tools and methodologies for building and managing complex processing workflows
