DeRiVE 2013 - 3rd International Workshop on Detection, Representation, and Exploitation of Events in the Semantic Web (DeRiVE 2013)

Events are at the heart of many of our daily information sources such as newswire, calendar information, and sensor data. For detecting, representing and exploiting events in these sources, different research communities are each trying to resolve a small part of this puzzle. The goal of this workshop is to bring together different communities working on events in the recent surge of research on the use of events as a key concept for representing knowledge and organising and structuring media on the web. The workshop invites contributions to four central questions, and its goal is to formulate answers to these questions that advance and reflect the current state of understanding. Each submission will be expected to address at least two questions explicitly, if possible including a system demonstration. This year, we have also made available a challenge dataset based on sensor data and we specifically invite contributions that address events in sensor data with the aid of semantic web technologies. The most substantial contributions to the workshop will be presented orally (and if possible with a demo) in sessions organised according to the questions addressed, with time allocated for deep discussion.
