SPEO 2016 - International Workshop on Summarizing and Presenting Entities and Ontologies

The Open Data and Semantic Web efforts have been promoting and facilitating the publication and integration of data from diverse sources, giving rise to a large and increasing volume of machine?-readable data available on the Web. Even though such raw data and its ontological schema enable the interoperability among Web applications, problems arise when exposing them to human users as how to present such large?-scale structured data in a user?-friendly manner. To meet this challenge, we invite research contributions on all aspects of ranking, summarization, visualization, and exploration of entities, knowledge graphs, ontologies, and open data with particular focus on their summarization and presentation. We also welcome submissions on novel applications of these techniques. The workshop is expected to be a forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry in the areas of Semantic Web, information retrieval, data engineering, and human?-computer interaction to discuss high?-quality research and emerging applications to exchange ideas and experience, and to identify new opportunities for collaboration.
