Hashtag for I-SEMANTICS 2013: #isem2013Scope

I-SEMANTICS 2013 (www.i-semantics.at) is the 9th International
Conference on Semantic
Systems.

The conference brings together both researchers and practitioners in the
areas of Semantic Technologies, Linked Data and the Semantic Web in
order to showcase cutting edge research, demonstrators and applications
for the Corporate and Social Semantic Web.
I-SEMANTICS 2013 will also hold the “I-CHALLENGE”, which brings to you
the 6th Linked Data Cup (formerly Triplification Challenge), the Best
Paper Award and the Best Poster Award.
In order to foster synergies among the research fields of knowledge
discovery, social computing, and semantic technologies I-SEMANTICS
Conference will be held together with the I-KNOW Conference, the 13th
International Conference on Knowledge Technologies (www.iknow.at).

--- Topics ---
As a conference aiming to bring together science and industry,
I-SEMANTICS encourages scientific research and application-oriented
contributions in the field of Semantic Technologies,
Semantic Web and Linked Data. The topics of interest for this year’s
conference include but are not limited to:

The Web of Data
- Large scale triplification and processing of data
- Vocabularies, taxonomies and schemas for the web of data
- Querying, searching and browsing over the web of data
- Data integration and interlinking for the web of data
- Location-based services and mobile semantic applications
- User interaction and innovative visualizations for the web of data
- Reasoning over the web of data
- (Mashup) applications utilizing (large scale) linked data resources
- Recommender systems making use of the web of data
- Integrating microposts into the web of data
- Linked enterprise data and (open) linked government data
- Linked sensor data and machine-to-machine communication

Quality of Semantic Data on the Web
- Provenance information for the web of data
- Large scale ontology inspection, maintenance and repair
- Co-reference detection and dataset reconciliation
- Quality analysis and metrics for the web of data
- Trust, privacy and security in semantic web applications

Corporate Semantic Web - Corporate thesauri, business vocabularies,
ontologies and rules
- Semantic business, e-commerce and m-commerce systems
- Semantic procurement for enterprises and governments
- Semantics, pragmatics and semiotics in organizations
- Enterprise trust and reputation management
- Organisational issues in the deployment and application of semantic
technologies

Social Semantic Web
- Enriching social web data and information with semantics and linked data
- Semantically-enabled social platforms and applications
- Users as virtual and physical sensors and devices for a ubiquitous
social semantic web
- Semantic based personalization, as e.g. for recommendations, social
navigation,

Collaborative search, social filtering, etc
- Reality augmented by the social semantic web
- Querying, mining and analysis of social semantic web data and dynamics
- Representing and reasoning with uncertainty, provenance, trust in
social web data
- Ethical issues related to the use of user generated content & linked data

Semantic Content Engineering
- Collaborative ontology engineering
- Ontology modularity, alignment and merging
- Ontology design patterns and life cycle management
- Ontology learning and knowledge acquisition
- Semantic annotation and tagging
- Making sense of microposts
- Semantic content management systems

Semantic Multimedia
- Semantic-driven multimedia applications
- Multimedia ontologies and infrastructures
- Content-based semantic multimedia analysis and data mining
- Semantic-driven multimedia indexing and retrieval
- Named entity recognition and disambiguation in multimedia documents
- Human-computer interfaces and visualization for multimedia data access

Studies, Metrics & Benchmarks
- Case studies of and benchmarks in semantic systems usage
- Evaluation perspectives, methods and semantic web research methodologies
- Technology assessment and acceptance/reactance research
- Usability and user interaction with semantic technologies
- Case studies with clear lessons learned or evaluations

Data Ecosystems & Markets
- Economic foundations of data assets, markets and data crowd sourcing -
Business and governance models for data commerce
- Production principles and measures of data creation, curation and
utilization
- Business models and economic impacts of Linked (Enterprise) Data
and/or large scale semantic systems
- Case studies for sector-specific data strategies

--- I-SEMANTICS Submission Information ---
All accepted full papers and short papers of I-SEMANTICS 2013 will be
published in the digital
library of the ACM ICP Series under the ISBN-No.: 978-1-4503-1972-0.
Please note: Poster and Demo papers are planned to be published at
CEUR-WS again.


Research/Application Papers

Research papers report on novel research and/or applications relevant to
the topics of the conference. Submissions must be original and must not
have been submitted for publication elsewhere. The number of pages of
research papers is limited to 8 pages for full papers and 4 pages for
short papers including references and an optional appendix.
Full and short papers should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must be
submitted via the online submission system available at the conference
website as PDF documents (other formats will not be accepted). For the
camera-ready version, we will also need the source files (Latex, Word
Perfect, Word).

--- Important Dates (Research & Application & Challenge Papers) ---
- Abstract Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013
- Paper Submission Deadline: April 1, 2013
- Notification of Acceptance: May 3, 2013
- Camera-Ready Paper: June 10, 2013


Posters & Demos Track

The Posters & Demonstrations Track and the PhD Track offer an
opportunity to present latebreaking research results, smaller
contributions, and innovative work in progress.
The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages
presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented
work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of
the presenters, while offering conference participants an effective way
to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to
network with other researchers. Poster and demo submissions should
consist of a paper of 3-4 pages that describes the work and its
contribution to the field. Submissions to this track must be in the
Springer LNCS format
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors), i.e. please do NOT
use the ACM template here.

--- Important Dates (Posters & Demo Papers Track) ---
- Submission Deadline: May 10, 2013

--- I-CHALLENGE ---
For the second time in 2013 we will bring to you the I-CHALLENGE,
consisting of the Best Research/Application Paper Award, the Best Poster
Award and the Linked Data Cup.
While the best paper will be selected by the program committee, the Best
Poster will be voted by the conference audience via online voting. More
