10th International Workshop on KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION MEETS DATABASES (KRDB-2003)
*** DEADLINE EXTENSION ***
http://lat.inf.tu-dresden.de/KRDB-2003/
Hamburg (Germany), September 15-18, 2003
With a focus on: Knowledge Representation and Databases for the Semantic Web
In conjunction with: KI 2003 (26th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The paper submission deadline for KRDB-2003 has been extended to
*** July, 16 ***
and other important dates have also been changed; please see the "Important Dates" section below.
----------- Call for papers
The 10th International KRDB Workshop continues the tradition of annual international workshops devoted to facilitate cross-fertilization between the fields of knowledge representation (KR) and databases (DB), started in 1994. KRDB-2003 will be held in Hamburg (Germany), September 2003, as a workshop of the 26th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI-2003), see http://www.ki2003.de/.
KRDB is a forum for exchanging ideas between DB and KR researchers. Equally important is the KRDB tradition of stimulating the discussion between researchers and practitioners. As every year, KRDB 2003 focusses on a selected topic.
----------- Topic
Databases have always been a very important issue for the World Wide Web, and, conversely, the WWW has stimulated interesting research on databases, for example in the area of semi-structured data. Due to the recent and immense interest in the semantic web initiative, knowledge representation has also gained a considerable amount of attention by the WWW community, and the pollinating impact of this fact on research in knowledge representation is already clearly visible. For these reasons, the focus of KRDB-2003 is on
Knowledge Representation and Databases for the World-Wide Web.
For the workshop, we thus solicit contributions that address the interplay between knowledge representation and databases, particularly in contexts related to the World-Wide Web. Specific issues we would like to discuss are:
* Languages and techniques required to support a semantic web * Construction and maintenance of large ontologies for use in the WWW * Web service modeling and declarative web service retrieval * Context adaption, user models, and adaptive web systems * Query languages for the Web and semi-structured data * Data modeling and typing for XML and semi-structured data
We also solicit submissions that concern the relationship of knowledge representation and databases, but do not fall inside this year's selected topic.
----------- Invited Speakers
* An invited talk will be given by Diego Calvanese, University of Rome "La Sapienza".
----------- Program Committee
* Alex Borgida (Rutgers University, New Jersey) * Stefan Conrad (University of Duesseldorf, Germany) * Enrico Franconi (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy) * Nicola Henze (University of Hannover, Germany) * Bertin Klein (DFKI, Kaiserslautern, Germany) * Ralf Kuesters (Stanford University, USA) * Gerhard Lakemeyer (RWTH Aachen, Germany) * Massimo Marchiori (University of Venice, Italy) * David Toman (University of Waterloo, Canada) * Gottfried Vossen (University of Muenster, Germany)
