Call for papers:
The next generation of the Web will be the semantic Web where semantic
contents of the Web resources will be interpretable not only by human but also
by machine. One
popular approach for Semantic Web consists of describing this semantic
contents through metadata.
Knowledge Management (KM) is one of the key progress factors in
organizations. It involves explicit and persistent representation of
knowledge of (geographically) dispersed
groups of people in the organization, so as to improve the activities of
the organization.
When the organization knowledge is distributed among several experts and
documents, the Internet or an Intranet inside the organization and Web
technologies can be a
privileged means for acquisition, modelling, management of this
distributed knowledge.
One promising approach relies on the analogy between the resources
constituting a corporate memory and the resources accessible through the Web.
A corporate memory can
thus be materialised in a "corporate semantic Web" made up of
documents, ontologies and semantic annotations on these documents by using the
conceptual vocabulary of
ontologies.
The objective of the workshop is to enable fruitful discussions between
"Semantic Web" and "Knowledge Management" communities, about possible
approaches of knowledge
management based on such corporate semantic Webs.
Long papers or position papers are welcome in any area concerning
knowledge management through corporate semantic Webs.
We specially expect papers discussing about the following issues:
Role of enterprise models in corporate semantic Webs ?
What kind of ontologies can be useful for such corporate semantic
Webs?
How to build such ontologies ?
Techniques for (semi-)automatic building of such ontologies or
annotations from the corporate information sources (such as textual or
multimedia documents or
databases)?
Possible role of indexing techniques and of thesaurus in a
corporate semantic Web approach?
Ontology representation languages for a corporate semantic Web?
How to tackle multiple viewpoints in a corporate semantic Web?
Interoperability between ontologies or integration of multiple
ontologies,
Cooperative building, adaptation and evolution of a corporate
semantic Web?
Query languages for a corporate semantic Web,
(Intelligent) Information retrieval from a corporate semantic Web
?
Agent-based approaches for building and management of a corporate
semantic Web and for information retrieval from a corporate semantic Web ?
Users interfaces for building and using a corporate semantic Web?
Features specific to corporate semantic Web w.r.t. open Semantic
Web ?
Concrete applications of corporate semantic Webs ?
Techniques for optimising metadata storage and query processing
for a corporate semantic Web?
Management of multilinguism in a corporate semantic Web.
