BigScholar 2014 - The First WWW Workshop on Big Scholarly Data: Towards the Web of Scholars

The BigScholar 2014 workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on Big Scholarly Data to discuss what are emerging research issues and how to explore the Web of Scholars. Several core challenges, such as the tools and methods for analyzing and mining scholarly data will be the main center of discussions at the workshop. The goal is to contribute to the birth of a community having a shared interest around the Web of Scholars and exploring it using data mining, recommender systems, social network analysis and other appropriate technologies.
The workshop will be a half-day workshop. The format of the workshop will include one invited talk (keynote), research and position paper presentations and one discussion panel. The workshop will be held on April 8, 2014 in Seoul, Korea, in conjunction with the 23rd International World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2014).
