Dear Colleague,
we would like to remind you of the following call for papers:
Conference: MKWI 2010 (Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik, Multi-Conference on Information Systems) Track: Conceptual Analysis and Ontological Modelling in Information Systems
The full CfP can be found at http://www.mkwi2010.de/en/107827.html, information about the conference at http://www.mkwi2010.de/en/104832.html and about the city at http://www.goettingen.de/index.php?lang=en. The following is a short extract from the call and describes some subjects of interest. Please feel free to suggest other topics related to the track.

This track reviews the state-of-the-art theories and applications of conceptual analysis in the context of information Science. The importance of understanding the content rather than manipulating and managing the documents is increasing as the amount of data is not longer manageable by humans, especially considering influences by language, culture and required expert knowledge. Three scenarios with importance for Information Science are - * plagiarism, * text mining, and * machine translation evaluation; whereas all have in common that most implementations are still based on explicit word group comparison. That is, for plagiarism, n-tuplets of words are searched in data-bases to find similarities, not handling translations, synonyms or rewriting of ideas. Conceptual Rubrics is an emerging topic that moves us beyond �string of text� comparisons. Conceptual analysis uses the concepts and compares these as well as its order/structure to find similarities in between documents, search requests or translated documents, whereas similarity is not given by grammar or vocabulary but understanding in a socio-cultural context. For plagiarism and machine translation evaluation, aligned terminologies databases can be used to match concepts in different languages and therefore settle these technologies on an international market.
Key Dates Papers Due: September 20, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: November 2, 2009 Final Papers Due: November 20, 2009 Conference: February 23-25, 2010 For more information on this call, please contact one of the track-coordinators (see below for email-address)
