SemWiki 2008 – The Wiki Way of Semantics

3rd Semantic Wiki Workshop
co-located with the 5th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC)
Tenerife, Spain, June 02, 2008

Contents

Executive Summary

SemWiki2008, the third workshop on Semantic Wikis, aims at reviewing the progress that has been made in the field of Semantic Wikis since the last workshops in 2006. We are interested in reviewing existing semantic wiki systems against the core wiki principles and thus identifying possibilities to improve them, in applying semantic technologies to existing wiki sites such as Wikipedia in order to make them even more productive for mass collaboration, but also in innovative, entirely new ideas for semantic wikis.

Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected, collaborativeness) technologies. Goals are diverse and include:

  • simple annotations of existing Wiki content;
  • tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures;
  • full-fledged tools for ontology editing where the text is no longer in the focus of the system.

Semantic Wikis contain in an integrated fashion many of the core challenges of the Semantic Web community: authoring, versioning, interlinked data, semantic browsing, semantic annotating, semantic diffs, semantic search and getting overview. In a Semantic Wiki, such methods have to be integrated into a coherent whole, while still remaining lightweight and easy to use. In this workshop, we investigate how these challenges can be tackled in an integrated fashion.

Important Dates (all dates GMT)

  • Paper submission: March 10 (noon), 2008
  • Notification of acceptance: April 6, 2008
  • Camera ready deadline: April 18, 2008
  • Workshop: June 2, 2008

Instructions For Authors

Here we will add Q&A regarding the camera ready versions.

Call for Contributions

We invite submissions as full and short papers, as well as posters/demos. Papers should describe original, unpublished research and must not be under review by another conference, journal, or workshop. Authors of the highest quality contributions will be invited to present their work at the workshop. Since Semantic Wikis are a very practical topic, we are also very interested in poster and demo submissions. Posters and Demos should describe prototypical implementations of systems related to the workshop topics. Highest quality submissions will be presented in a separate poster/demo session.

Contributions should adhere to the following formats:

  • Papers 5-15 pages
  • Posters/Demos 2-5 pages
  • Short/Position Papers (please indicate in the title): 2-5 pages

Papers should be formatted using the standard LNCS format and should include an abstract of no more than 120 words.

Submission system (Easychair) (closed)

Authors will be required to submit their camera ready versions using SALT (semantically annotated LaTeX). It allows authors to annotate their articles directly with semantic markup. This semantic markup will be used to extract and publish metadata of the submissions on the Semantic Web. A specialized LaTeX template will be provided by the workshop organisers that allows to easily add these annotations.

Proceedings

Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference online and in print. Post-proceedings will be published in the CEUR-WS series.
