Workshop on

Knowledge Markup and Semantic Annotation October 25-26, 2003 at Sanibel, Florida, USA http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/semannot2003

Workshop at the Second International Conference for Knowledge Capture http://sern.ucalgary.ca/ksi/K-CAP/K-CAP2003/ K-CAP'2003 is held in conjunction with the 2nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2003)

--- Call for Papers ---

Capturing knowledge by using markup techniques and by supporting semantic annotations is a major technique for creating metadata. It is beneficial in a wide range of content-oriented intelligent applications. One important application, for instance, is the Semantic Web. Here, knowledge markup is a major challenge, i.e. the problem is the providing of knowledge structures for existing syntactic or multimedia resources. The workshops intend to bring together researchers and practitioners from such communities as W3C, MPEG-7, AI, Natural Language technologies and KR to discuss various aspects of knowledge markup and semantic annotation.

Submission Papers: Practitioners and researchers interested in participating should submit either a full paper (less than 6000 words) or a position paper (less than 1500 words) addressing relevant issues. Submit before July 21, 2003 in electronic form (pdf) to: handschuh@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de.

Topics of Interest includes, but are not limited to:

* authoring/annotation tools * web page annotation * collaborative, shared annotation * knowledge markup in the Semantic Web * ontology-based markup * using semantic annotations to define knowledge tools for supporting knowledge markup * integrated software architecture based on semantic annotation * multimedia annotation (e.g. by using MPEG-7) * image/picture annotation * linguistic aspects of semantic annotation * capturing knowledge through Information Extraction and NLP * text mining for creating knowledge markup * evaluation of manual annotation * Usage of Annotations, e.g. learning resource metadata

Although not required for the initial submission, we recommend to follow the format guidlines of K-Cap 2001 http://sern.ucalgary.ca/ksi/K-CAP/K-CAP2001/CFP.html#submission-guidelines, as this will be the required format for accepted papers.
