[esip-semanticweb] CFP: Diversity++ workshop @ ISWC2015

[Marshall X Ma]

Diversity++ workshop co-located with the 14th International Semantic Web
Conference, ISWC 2015 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA 

 

Workshop website: http://dase.cs.wright.edu/activities/diversity2015

 

Submission deadline: July 1, 2015

 

Objectives

-----------

 

Semantic Web technologies are used in many diverse domains. Mainstream
applications of Semantic Technologies now include Bioinformatics and
healthcare with Smart cities an up and coming domain. Domains such as
oceanography, astronomy, finance, and law utilize Semantic Technologies, but
are generally under-represented in the broader Semantic Web community. This
workshop aims at bridging this gap and leading to more widespread adoption
of Semantic Web principles.

 

 

 

Topics of Interest

--------------------

 

The primary aim of the workshop is to discuss non-regular, underrepresented
and diverse topics related to the Semantic Web domain including
work-in-progress, feasible ideas, failures and lessons learned. This covers
a broad spectrum of topics across multiple disciplines. Some examples
include, but are definitely not limited to the following.

 

1) Inter-disciplinary research (combination of Semantic Web technologies and
other Science) in unconventional domains.

               a) Experimental, non-traditional application of mathematics,
machine learning, or information retrieval in Semantic Web context.

               b) Semantic Web applications in non-regular fields such as
astronomy, geosciences, music, law, finance etc.

               

2) Development of vocabulary and models in the context of Semantic Web for
unconventional domains.

               a) Quantitative measurements and statistical analysis of
Semantic Web systems and models including Markov Chain models, UML etc.

               b) Integration of probabilistic and ontological models for
knowledge discovery

               

3) Position papers and research agendas for the injection of Semantic Web
technologies in other domains (e.g. soft sciences and the liberal arts)
