  • Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2010)

   30 May - 03 June
   Heraklion, Greece

Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2010)


Mashups

A mashup is a lightweight (web) application that offers new functionality by combining, aggregating and transforming data and services available on the web. For example the prototypical mashup iMusicMash brings together data on artists from Yahoo Search, Eventful, Twitter and Wikipedia for a music reference that can be accessed from iPhones and Android phones.

Some Semantic Web Tools

OpenCalais — LinkedOpenData — OpenCyc — Ontos API Beta

Outcome of the 2009 Challenge

2009 awards went to
  • Weimar AISearch Firefox Plugin
  • IBIS (Intelligent Band Information Service), Cottbus
  • EpiSpider (world-wide overview of infective diseases), CDC, Atlanta
  • JOBAD Interactive Mathematical Documents, Bremen

AI Mashup Challenge – Topics Of Interest

The AI mashup challenge accepts mashups that use AI technology, including but not restricted to machine learning and data mining, machine vision, natural language processing, reasoning, ontologies and the semantic web. Imagine for example:
  • Information extraction or automatic text summarization to create a task-oriented overview mashup for mobile devices.
  • Semantic Web technology and data sources adapting to user and task-specific configurations.
  • Semantic background knowledge (such as ontologies, WordNet or Cyc) to improve search and content combination.
  • Machine translation for mashups that cross language borders.
  • Machine vision technology for novel ways of aggregating images, for instance mixing real and virtual environments.
  • Intelligent agents taking over simple household planning tasks.
  • Text-to-speech technology creating a voice mashup with intelligent and emotional intonation.
  • The display of Pub Med articles on a map based on geographic entity detection referring to diseases or health centers.
For more ideas see the previous AI mashup challenge and its participants.

Submission and deadline

The challenge tries to mediate between a grassroot bar-camp style and standard conference organization. This means for submitters:
  • You announce your mashup as soon as you are ready, simply sending an email to the organizers (address below); the deadline is April 1, 2010.
  • At a subpage of the mashup website provided by the organizers, you explain your work and refer to its URL.
  • Your mashup stays at your URL and under your control. You can go on improving it.
  • At review time (1st April 2010), the reviewers select the most interesting mashups for presentation during ESWC 2010.
  • Be prepared to a give a 15 minutes talk / demo during the mashup session of the conference.
  • After that, the conference participants will vote on all presented mashups.
  • Awards will be handed over, and everybody will congratulate the winners!

I simply enter comment 0 to start the line. Of course, the comments are made for all mashup friends. Cheers Brigitte
