chair(s): Paul Groth,Marieke Van Erp,Jun Zhao,Tomi Kauppinen,Jacco van Ossenbruggen,Carsten Keßler,Yolanda Gil,Line Pouchard,Carole A. Goble
Abstract: This workshop aims to discuss and present results of new ways of applying Semantic Web technologies to the publishing, sharing and interlinking of scientific data and methods, and to the reasoning over such resources to discover interesting new links to validate, reuse and reproduce scientific research. The theme of this year’s workshop is “Supporting Reproducibility, Scientific Investigations and Experiments”. We will focus on scientific investigations and experiments that use Linked Data and semantic technologies to represent their data and methods and enable their knowledge discovery, reuse and validation.

09:00 - 17:30 Workshop: 8th International Workshop on Ontology Matching
chair(s): Pavel Shvaiko,Ming Mao,Kavitha Srinivas,Jérôme Euzenat,Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz
Abstract: Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes the ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate.

09:00 - 17:30 Workshop: Crowdsourcing the Semantic Web
chair(s): Natalya Noy,Maribel Acosta,Lora Aroyo,Jens Lehmann,Elena Simperl,Abraham Bernstein
Abstract: This interactive workshop takes stock of the emergent work and chart the research agenda with interactive sessions to brainstorm ideas and potential applications of collective intelligence to solving AI hard semantic web problems. The Global Brain Semantic Web—a Semantic Web interleaving a large number of human and machine computation—has great potential to overcome some of the issues of the current Semantic Web. In particular, semantic technologies have been deployed in the context of a wide range of information management tasks in scenarios that are increasingly significant in both technical (data size, variety and complexity of data sources) and economical terms (industries addressed and their market volume). For many of these tasks, machine-driven algorithmic techniques aiming at full automation do not reach a level of accuracy that many production environments require. Enhancing automatic techniques with human computation capabilities is becoming a viable solution in many cases. We believe that there is huge potential at the intersection of these disciplines - large scale, knowledge-driven, information management and crowdsourcing - to solve technically challenging problems purposefully and in a cost effective manner.

09:00 - 17:30 Workshop: Linked Data for Information Extraction
chair(s): Ziqi Zhang,Heiko Paulheim,Claudia D'Amato,Anna Lisa Gentile
Abstract: This workshop focuses on the exploitation of Linked Data for Web Scale Information Extraction (IE), which concerns extracting structured knowledge from unstructured/semi-structured documents on the Web. One of the major bottlenecks for the current state of the art in IE is the availability of learning materials (e.g., seed data, training corpora), which, typically are manually created and are expensive to build and maintain. Linked Data (LD) defines best practices for exposing, sharing, and connecting data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic Web using uniform means such as URIs and RDF. It has so far been created a gigantic knowledge source of Linked Open Data (LOD), which constitutes a mine of learning materials for IE. However, the massive quantity requires efficient learning algorithms and the unguaranteed quality of data requires robust methods to handle redundancy and noise.LD4IE intends to gather researchers and practitioners to address multiple challenges arising from the usage of LD as learning material for IE tasks, focusing on (i) modelling user defined extraction tasks using LD; (ii) gathering learning materials from LD assuring quality (training data selection, cleaning, feature selection etc.); (iii) robust learning algorithms for handling LD; (iv) publishing IE results to the LOD cloud.

09:00 - 17:30 Tutorial 1: Relational Database to RDF (RDB2RDF) (Tutorial Track)
Abstract: In one study it was reported that there is 500 times as much data in the hidden or deep web, then there is in crawlable, indexable web pages. Most of this data is stored in relational databases. Hence, the Semantic Web’s promise of Web-scale data integration will only live up to its true promise with the inclusion of legacy relational database management systems (RDBMS). Two new, interrelated and complementary W3C standards, “Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF” and “R2RML: RDB to RDF Mapping Language”, are poised to enable this data into the web of Linked Data. This tutorial will introduce, contrast and explain the preferred solution organizations embodies by these two standards. The tutorial will also include a hands-on session.

09:00 - 17:30 Tutorial 2: Stream Reasoning for Linked Data (Tutorial Track)
Abstract: The tutorial provides a comprehensive view of the Stream Reasoning research area. It consists of two parts. The first one is focused on RDF and SPARQL extensions for stream processing. It will begin with an introduction to RDF Stream processing models, and two concrete approaches that implement these models, namely C-SPARQL Engine and SPARQLStream, including hands on sessions. The second part of the tutorial explores Stream Reasoning approaches: approximate stream reasoning techniques for OWL2-DL, incremental materialization for RDF Streams (IMaRS), and an overview of EP-SPARQL and Sparkwave. Also the second part includes hands-on sessions.

chair(s): Thorsten Liebig,Achille Fokoue
Abstract: This workshop provides a forum for discussing scalability issues for the Semantic Web, with the focus on the development and deployment of knowledge base systems for processing Semantic Web data. We expect that scalability issues are going to challenge the Semantic Web for a long time and significant effort is needed in order to tackle them. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to share their recent ideas and advances towards building scalable knowledge base systems for the Semantic Web.

chair(s): Yves Raimond,Mark B. Sandler,David De Roure
Abstract: This workshop provides a forum to explore and promote the applications of Semantic Web Technologies in the domain of music and time-based media. Emerging activities in research, development and production, driven by projects in both academia and industry, are already spanning many aspects of the creation, management, discovery, delivery and analysis of musical and media content. This workshop brings together this community to share information and practice, and especially to articulate the research agenda in Semantic Music and Media, e.g. "end-to-end semantics" through the lifecycle of digital media. This workshop aims at facilitating innovation and helping to achieve the full potential of Semantic Web in this domain, as well as informing Semantic Web research and its application to this area.

chair(s): Trevor Martin,Nicola Fanizzi,Thomas Lukasiewicz,Claudia D'Amato,Paulo Costa,Fernando Bobillo,Kathryn Laskey,Mike Pool,Rommel Carvalho,Kenneth J. Laskey,Matthias Nickles
Abstract: This Workshop is an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization between the uncertainty reasoning community and the Semantic Web community. Effective methods for reasoning under uncertainty are vital for realizing many aspects of the Semantic Web vision, but the ability of current-generation web technology to handle uncertainty remains extremely limited. Thus, there is a continuing demand for uncertainty reasoning technology among Semantic Web researchers and developers, and the URSW workshop creates a unique opening to bring together two communities with a clear commonality of interest but limited history of interaction. By capitalizing on this opportunity, URSW could spark dramatic progress toward realizing the Semantic Web vision.

13:45 - 17:30 Tutorial 4: Modelling Ontologies Visually (Tutorial Track)
Abstract: Ontology engineering has acknowledged benefits yet the notations with which one can create such models can require considerable technical expertise. There has been interest in the development of visual (i.e. diagrammatic) notations that are more readily accessible to those without substantial mathematical training. This tutorial will demonstrate a formal visual logic, called concept diagrams, suitable for ontology engineering. The notation has been designed with regard to cognitive theories combined with an emphasis on being sufficiently expressive to model rich domains. The tutorial introduces concept diagrams and attendees will gain knowledge of how to apply concept diagrams for ontology engineering.

09:00 - 17:45 Workshop: 4th International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data
chair(s): Takahide Matsutsuka,Olaf Hartig,Juan F. Sequeda,Aidan Hogan
Abstract: The quantity of published Linked Data continues to increase. However, applications that exploit Linked Data are not yet widespread. Reasons may include a lack of suitable solutions for a number of open problems. The diversity and dynamics of LOD sources have brought new challenges in seamless data integration, dynamic discovery, provenance tracking, and quality assessment at the Web scale. Addressing these issues requires joint community efforts from both LOD provision and consumption perspectives, including the development and investigation of concepts that can lead towards the realisation of a sustainable Linked Data ecosystem. The objective of this workshop is to provide a focused venue for academic and industrial discussions on concepts, algorithms, infrastructure and tools (including systematic analysis and rigorous evaluation) that help to exploit Linked Data (and not just to produce it).

09:00 - 17:30 Workshop: 1st International Workshop on Semantic Statistics
chair(s): Richard Cyganiak,Raphael Troncy,Franck Cotton,Armin Haller,Alistair Hamilton
Abstract: The goal of this workshop is to explore and strengthen the relationship between the Semantic Web and statistical communities, to provide better access to the data held by statistical offices. It will focus on ways in which statisticians can use Semantic Web technologies and standards in order to formalize, publish, document and link their data and metadata. The workshop will also cover the question of how to apply statistical methods or treatments to linked data, and how to develop new methods and tools for this purpose. Except for visualisation techniques and tools, this question is relatively unexplored, but the subject will obviously grow in importance in the near future.

09:00 - 17:30 Workshop: DBpedia & NLP 2013
chair(s): Sebastian Hellmann,Pablo Mendes,Dimitris Kontokostas,Caroline Barrière,Agata Filipowska
Abstract: Recently, the DBpedia community has experienced an immense increase in activity and we believe, that the time has come to explore the connection between DBpedia & Natural Language Processing (NLP) in a yet unpreceded depth. The goal of this workshop can be summarized by this (pseudo-) formula: DBpedia & NLP ≡ DBpedia4NLP ⨅ NLP4DBpedia. DBpedia has a long-standing tradition to provide useful data as well as a commitment to reliable Semantic Web technologies and living best practices. With the rise of WikiData, DBpedia is step-by-step relieved from the tedious extraction of data from Wikipedia’s infoboxes and can shift its focus on new challenges such as extracting information from the unstructured article text as well as becoming a testing ground for multilingual NLP methods.

09:00 - 17:30 Workshop: Society, Privacy and the Semantic Web - Policy and Technology
chair(s): Stefan Decker,Sabrina Kirrane,James Hendler
Abstract: We (the Semantic Web community) are responsible for the conception of technologies that enable large scale integration and mining of personal and public information in all domains of society. This brings unprecedented advantages, assists humans, organisations and systems with problem solving, enables innovation and increases productivity. It makes everything more transparent. However this transparency comes at a price: the loss of our privacy. There has been growing awareness within the community of the need to address privacy and security concerns. To date the focus has been on researching specific privacy and security models and frameworks, for example for access control, obfuscation, anonymization, aggregation, licensing, etc. However we are “putting the cart before the horse”, we need to identify clear privacy and security requirements before proposing technical solutions. With this workshop we aim at the following goals: First, raise awareness that the technologies the community are working on have global societal consequences. Vice versa, our research can be guided by determining a road map for desirable privacy goals. We aim to determine first steps towards identifying desirable goals. Second, raise awareness of interconnections between the different communities that are involved in Web privacy and security ­ e.g., policy makers, users, social sciences and computer scientists and provide a platform for interconnection and communication. Third, determine the next steps that need to be conducted in order to broaden the level of engagement between the relevant parties.

Abstract: Microtask crowdsourcing platforms, as one of the most popular instance of social computing technologies, are increasingly used to support massively collaborative projects on semantic content management. In this tutorial we will introduce the most popular approaches to microtask crowdsourcing for Semantic Web problems, as a mean to realize hybrid human-machine content management architectures. We will explain the core notions and technologies, including Amazon Mechanical Turk, CrowdFlower and specifically purposed tools building upon the functionality of these platforms. We will address questions related to quality assurance, resource management, and workflow design, and discuss a series of technical and socio-economical challenges and open issues related to the application of microtask crowdsourcing in given Semantic Web scenarios.

09:00 - 12:45 Workshop: 6th International Workshop on Semantic Sensor Networks
chair(s): Payam Barnaghi,Oscar Corcho,Manfred Hauswirth,Kerry Taylor,Cory Henson,Amit Sheth
Abstract: It is estimated that today there are 4 billion mobile devices that can act as sensors, including active and passive RFID tags. This is complemented by an even larger number of fixed sensors recording observations of a wide variety of modalities. Geographically distributed sensor nodes are capable of forming ad hoc networking topologies, with nodes expected to be dynamically inserted and removed from a network. The sensors are increasingly being connected with Web infrastructure, and the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standard developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium is widely being adopted in industry, government and academia alike. While such frameworks provide some interoperability, semantics is increasingly seen as key enabler for integration of sensor data and broader Web information systems. Analytical and reasoning capabilities afforded by Semantic Web standards and technologies are considered important for developing advanced applications that go from capturing observations to recognition of events and ultimately developing comprehensive situational awareness. Defense, transportation, global enterprise, and natural resource management industries are leading the rapid emergence of applications in commercial, civic, and scientific operations that involve sensors, web, services and semantics. Semantic technologies are often proposed as important components of complex, cross-jurisdictional, heterogeneous, dynamic information systems. The needs and opportunities arising from the rapidly growing capabilities of networked sensing devices are a challenging case.

09:00 - 12:45 Workshop: workshop on Semantic Web Enterprise Adoption and Best Practice
chair(s): Sam Coppens,Miel Vander Sande,Marco Neumann,Magnus Knuth,Karl Hammar,Dominique Ritze
Abstract: Over the years, Semantic Web based systems, applications, and tools have shown significant improvement. Their development and deployment shows the steady maturing of semantic technologies and demonstrates their value in solving current and emerging problems. Examples include enabling generic clients, facilitating autonomous agents and large scale distributed data integration. Despite the encouraging figures, the number of enterprises working on and with these technologies is dwarfed by the large number who have not yet adopted semantic technologies. Current adoption is mainly restricted to methodologies provided by the research community. Although Semantic Web acts as candidate technology to the industry, it does not win through in current enterprise challenges like data fusion, data integration or natural language processing (e.g. IBM Watson). To better understand the market dynamics uptake needs to be addressed and if possible quantified.

09:00 - 12:45 Tutorial 6: The Mobile Semantic Web (Tutorial Track)
Abstract: The combination of the versatility of smart devices and the capabilities of semantic technologies forms a great foundation for a mobile Semantic Web that will contribute to further realizing the true potential of both disciplines. Motivated by a service discovery and matchmaking example, this tutorial provides an overview of background knowledge in ontology languages and basic reasoning problems, and how they are applicable in the mobile environment. It then presents challenges and state-of-the-art development on mobile ontology reasoning, focusing on the reasoning and optimization techniques developed in the mTableaux framework. Finally, the tutorial closes with an outlook of important research problems.

Abstract: The concept of Linked Open Data (LOD) shows great potential to overcome existing problems in discovery, integration, and reuse of data. More and more applications are emerging that make use of LOD. Building such applications is supported by a large number of tools that have been developed in the Semantic Web community. The goal of this tutorial is to provide novices with a practical introduction into building LOD applications. Participants will learn how to build a simple LOD application by following hands-on instructions. Using publicly available tools and practical use cases, we show how to go from structured data.

13:45 - 17:55 Workshop: 2nd International Workshop on Ordering and Reasoning
chair(s): Stefan Schlobach,Markus Krötzsch,Irene Celino,Emanuele Della Valle
Abstract: More and more applications require real-time processing of massive, dynamically generated, ordered data; where order is often an essential factor reflecting recency, proximity or relevance. Stream and rank-aware data management techniques are progressively providing reactive and reliable query answering over such massive datasets, allowing integration of highly dynamic sources. Key to their success is the use of streaming algorithms that harness the natural or enforceable orders in the data. The expressive power of Semantic technologies is needed in those applications, but Semantic Technologies risk being unable to address the needs of those applications, because they do not consider ordering as an essential property. Ranking results is often seen as an “added task”, performed after inference, without affecting the inference process, which is order-agnostic. However, we perceive a trend towards order-aware semantic technologies: both researchers and practitioners understand that order matters in reasoning over massive and highly dynamic data. The idea of Stream Reasoning is gaining considerable momentum. Some top-k query answering techniques for Linked Data appeared. Several works are considering SPARQL query answering on RDF annotated with labels partially ordered. The Description Logic community is investigating top-k ontological query answering. This workshop aims at bringing together this growing and very active community interested in integrating ordering with reasoning by using methods inspired by stream and rank-aware data management. We see this workshop as a first step to stimulate and guide a paradigm shift in semantic technologies.

13:45 - 17:30 Workshop: Semantic Machine Learning and Linked Open Data Application
chair(s): Ritaban Dutta,Greg Timms,Ahsan Morshed
Abstract: Historical and spatial big data from the environmental and agricultural domains already exist in the modern technology-driven world. Government agencies, utilities and research bodies already have large amounts of data, but their value is not being fully realised because they are not integrated and consequently big knowledge is difficult to access. Semantic web, semantic machine learning and linked open data technology may help to build an "outer knowledge layer" so that this information could be accessed by domain people and the broader community. It can also be used to answer complex dynamic queries at run time from the system point of view.

Abstract: This tutorial analyses open challenges for Web-scale Information Extraction (IE) and introduces the usage of Linked Data (LD) for the task. Linked Data has grown to a gigantic knowledge base, which, as of 2013, comprised 31 billion triples in 295 datasets (http://lod-cloud.net/state/). Such resources can become invaluable resources to train Web-scale IE and natural language tasks because they are very large scale and covering multiple domains. This tutorial will show how to exploit LD for IE and will explore IE techniques able to scale at web level. We will particularly focus on the tasks of Wrapper Induction and Table Interpretation.

Abstract: A significant fraction of the pages on the web are generated from structured databases. A longstanding goal of the semantic web initiative is to get webmasters to make this structured data directly available on the web. The path towards this objective has been rocky at best. While there have been some notable wins (such as RSS and FOAF), many of the other initiatives have seen little industry adoption. Learning from these earlier attempts has guided the development of schema.org, which appears to have altered the trajectory. Two years after its launch over 4 million Internet domains are are using schema.org markup. In this talk, we recount the history behind the early efforts and try to understand why some of them succeeded while others failed. We will then give an update on Schema.org, its goals, accomplishments and where it is headed. We will also discuss some of the interesting research problems being addressed in the context of this effort.

09:15 - 10:15 InvitedTalk: Progress in Open-World, Integrative, Transparent, Collaborative Science Data Platforms
chair(s): Pascal Hitzler
Abstract: As collaborative, or network science spreads into more science, engineering and medical fields, both the participants and their funders have expressed a very strong desire for highly functional data and information capabilities that are a) easy to use, b) integrated in a variety of ways, c) leverage prior investments and keep pace with rapid technical change, and d) are not expensive or time-consuming to build or maintain. In response, and based on our accumulated experience over the last decade and a maturing of several key semantic web approaches, we have adapted, extended, and integrated several open source applications and frameworks that handle major portions of functionality for these platforms. At minimum, these functions include: an object-type repository, collaboration tools, an ability to identify and manage all key entities in the platform, and an integrated portal to manage diverse content and applications, with varied access levels and privacy options. At the same time, there is increasing attention to how researchers present and explain results based on interpretation of increasingly diverse and heterogeneous data and information sources. With the renewed emphasis on good data practices, informatics practitioners have responded to this challenge with maturing informatics-based approaches. These approaches include, but are not limited to, use case development; information modeling and architectures; elaborating vocabularies; mediating interfaces to data and related services on the Web; and traceable provenance. The current era of data-intensive research presents numerous challenges to both individuals and research teams. In environmental science especially, sub-fields that were data-poor are becoming data-rich (volume, type and mode), while some that were largely model/ simulation driven are now dramatically shifting to data-driven or least to data-model assimilation approaches. These paradigm shifts make it very hard for researchers used to one mode to shift to another, let alone produce products of their work that are usable or understandable by non-specialists. However, it is exactly at these frontiers where much of the exciting environmental science needs to be performed and appreciated. XVIII Research networks (even small ones) need to deal with people, and many intellectual artifacts produced or consumed in research, organizational and/our outreach activities, as well as the relations among them. Increasingly these networks are modeled as knowledge networks, i.e. graphs with named and typed relations among the 'nodes'. Some important nodes are: people, organizations, datasets, events, presentations, publications, videos, meetings, reports, groups, and more. In this heterogeneous ecosystem, it is important to use a set of common informatics approaches to co-design and co-evolve the needed science data platforms based on what real people want to use them for. We present our methods and results for information modeling, adapting, integrating and evolving a networked data science and information architecture based on several open source technologies (e.g. Drupal, VIVO, the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network; CKAN, and the Global Handle System; GHS) and many semantic technologies. We discuss the results in the context of the Deep Carbon Virtual Observatory and the Global Change Information System, and conclude with musings on how the smart mediation among the components is modeled and managed, and its general applicability and ecacy.

chair(s): Kerry Taylor
Abstract: This keynote will describe a number of projects being undertaken at the University of Queensland eResearch Lab that are pushing Semantic Web technologies to their limit to help solve grand challenges in the environmental, cultural and medical domains. In each of these use cases, we are integrating multi-modal data streams across space, time, disciplines, formats and agencies to infer and expose new knowledge through rich multi-layered and interactive visualizations. We are developing hypothesis-based query interfaces that provide evidence to validate or refute hypotheses and decision support services that recommend the optimum actions given current or predicted scenarios. We are using ontologies to influence and adapt government policies by linking policy-driven implementations, investments and management actions to real world indicators. Through evaluation of the methods and assessment of the achievements associated with the OzTrack, eReef, Skeletome and Twentieth Century in Paint projects, I will highlight those Semantic Web technologies that have worked for us and our user communities, those that haven't and those that need improvement. Finally, I will discuss what I believe will be the major outstanding research challenges facing Semantic Big Data in the next 5 years and those research areas with the greatest potential for impact.

09:00 - 10:30 Session: SMAM 2013 Session 1
1. Introduction,
2. Deep-linking into Media Assets at the Fragment Level: Specification, Model and Applications, Raphael Troncy InvitedTalk
Abstract: Semantic descriptions of non-textual media available on the Web can facilitate retrieval, re-use and presentation of media assets. Semantic Web languages can represent controlled vocabularies and shared annotations of media content on the Web. By identifying concepts to consider, Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) are the building blocks of the Semantic Web. Often, particular regions of an image or particular sequences of an audio or a video resource need to be localized and uniquely identified in order to be used as subject or object resource in an RDF annotation. In this talk, we will first present the Media Fragment URI specification, a recent W3C recommendation that enables to uniquely identifying sub-parts of media assets in the same way that the fragment identifier in the URI can refer to part of an HTML or XML document. We will then describe models and ontologies that we will illustrate with several real world applications using semantic annotations attached to media fragments in the music and the TV domains. Those applications are developed in the context of the European projects LinkedTV and MediaMixer and the French project WAVE.

Abstract: Despite being borne over the web, conventional digital library software architectures---from which many of our leading Music Digital Libraries (MDLs) are formed---result in digital resources that are, surprisingly, disconnected from other on-line sources of information. Leveraging from (and also contributing too!) the ever growing body of music linked data, in this talk I will demonstrate a new form of music digital library that encompasses management, discovery, delivery and analysis of the musical content it contains. In doing so, the developed software architecture alters the boundaries to what is conventionally thought of as a digital library---challenging core assumptions made in digital library software design.

1. Results may vary: reproducibility, open science and all that jazz, Carole A. Goble InvitedTalk
Abstract: How could we evaluate research and researchers? Reproducibility underpins the scientific method: at least in principle if not practice. The willing exchange of results and the transparent conduct of research can only be expected up to a point in a competitive environment. Contributions to science are acknowledged, but not if the credit is for data curation or software. From a bioinformatics view point, how far could our results be reproducible before the pain is just too high? Is open science a dangerous, utopian vision or a legitimate, feasible expectation? How do we move bioinformatics from one where results are post-hoc “made reproducible”, to pre-hoc “born reproducible”? And why, in our computational information age, do we communicate results through fragmented, fixed documents rather than cohesive, versioned releases? In this talk, which I gave as a keynote at the 2013 joint conference Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology / European Conference on Computational Biology, I will explore these questions drawing on 20 years of experience in both the development of technical infrastructure for Life Science and the social infrastructure in which Life Science operates.

1. Big Data meets Big Social: Social Machines and the Semantic Web, David De Roure InvitedTalk
Abstract: We are seeing increasing scale of human participation in the digital world, from citizens and scholars alike. At the same time we see increasing computational power and storage: more devices, more processors, more cores (indeed Moore’s Law). An interesting space, generating considerable activity, is where large numbers of people meet large numbers of machines – where new forms of data are produced and also where the new analytics occur, from computational algorithms to citizen science. Underpinning this space is the notion of Social Machines, defined by Tim Berners-Lee as processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration. The theory and practice of Social Machines are now attracting study, and this talk will discuss this opportunity for Semantic Web approaches to underpin the design and construction of future Social Machines against a backdrop of increasing scale and increasing automation.

Workshop: DBpedia & NLP 2013

09:00 - 10:30 Session: Dbpedia & NLP 2013 Session 1
1. Welcome,
2. NERD: an open source platform for extracting and disambiguating named entities in very diverse documents, Raphael Troncy InvitedTalk
Abstract: Named entity recognition and disambiguation are of primary importance for extracting information and for populating knowledge bases. Detecting and classifying named entities has traditionally been taken on by the natural language processing community, whilst linking of entities to external knowledge bases such as DBpedia has been tackled by the Semantic Web community. In this talk, we will first describe NERD, an open source platform for extracting and disambiguating named entities in textual documents. We will report some joy and disillusions when benchmarking NERD on standard corpora such as CoNLL, ETAPE, MSM or TAC KBP that consist of very diverse textual documents ranging from microposts, newswire articles or transcripts of TV shows. We will finally present some applications in which named entities are pivotal for structuring and enriching multimedia content.

1. Learning about Activities from Spatio Temporal Data, Anthony Cohn InvitedTalk
Abstract: Spatio-temporal data is becoming increasing ubiquitous (from video, mobile sensors...). This talk addresses the question of how to understand such data in terms of activities which are taking place between the agents/objects involved which may involve temporally and/or spatially overlapping activites. Of particular interest are unsupervised technqniques so that the kinds of events and interactions can be mined with little or no supervision. I will present techniques for learning the spatio-temporal structure of tasks and events from video or other sensor data and show how this can be characterised using qualitative spatio-temporal descriptions to produce a high level symbolic description of the activities present.
