SCOPE
The Semantic Web is a key initiative being promoted by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as the next generation of the current
web. The objective of this workshop is to discuss commercial
applications that make immediate advances and to gain insight
into the evolution of semantic web technology. Early commercial
applications that make use of machine-understandable metadata
range from information retrieval to Web-enabling of old-tech IBM
3270 sessions. Current developments include metadata-based
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) systems, data modeling
solutions, and wireless applications.
Machine-understandable metadata is emerging as a new foundation
for component-based approaches to application development. Within
the context of reusable distributed components, Web services
represent the latest architectural advancement. RDF Servers enable
these two concepts to be synthesized providing powerful new
mechanisms for quickly modeling, creating and deploying complex
applications that readily adapt to real world needs. At the same
time, we welcome submissions that describe applications which are
trying to achieve the above goal through the use of other
specifications such as WSDL, UDDI, SOAP, ebXML, XML, possibly in
conjunction with transformation languages such as XSLT, RuleML, etc.
We invite submissions that discuss real applications (piloted,
deployed, robust prototypes) attacking real world problems in the
Semantic Web arena today instead of the future. This potentially
means very pragmatic decisions (e.g., executable agents that run in
the context of graph-based application models) caused by the
limitations of today's technology (e.g., are there robust/scalable
RDF parsers, stores, and inference engines?). Submissions that also
address issues related to the business aspects, e.g., is there a
market ?, is there a sustainable value proposition ?, what is the
business model, etc., will receive special consideration.
TOPICS
- Applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed) based on the RDF Model
and Semantics
- Semantic Web applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed) based on
XML and various variants
- Web Services based applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed)
based on WSDL, SOAP, UDDI, ebXML and other related standards
- Enterprise Application and Data Integration, and the Semantic Web
- E-Commerce and the Semantic Web
- Implementations of Semantic Web applications on component models
such as J2EE and .NET
- Model driven approaches for Semantic Web Applications
- Architectures for Semantic Web Applications (distributed objects,
agents)
- Scalability, Extensibility and Robustness of Semantic Web
Applications
- Information accuracy of Semantic Web Applications (e.g., precision,
recall, classification accuracy)
- Tools for creating Semantic Web components (ontologies, mappings, etc.)
- Tools for creating Web Services
- Return on Investment for Semantic Web Applications
- Sustainable Business Models for Semantic Web Applications
- Integrated Application Development environments for the Semantic Web
...and other aspects of realizing the vision of the Semantic Web!
