WebS 2012 - 11th International Workshop on Web Semantics and Information Processing

The objective of the international workshop Web Semantics and Information Processing (WebS) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying Semantic Web concepts, applications, and solutions being an international forum for the presentation of both theoretical and applicative results.
This year's WebS builds on this tradition of facilitating cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, experience and potential research directions. WebS 2012 seeks to introduce innovative methods, algorithms, and solutions to challenging problems in Semantic Web and Information Processing research and development initiatives.
Submissions presenting current research work on both theoretical and practical aspects of Semantic Web application experiences in information processing are encouraged. Particularly, we strongly welcome submissions dealing with information extraction and natural language processing.
