Linked Data is now recognized as one of the prominent ways for publishing data on the web. Even though Linked Data Technology is the results of the long-term development in Semantic Web Community, it is not easy to deploy it to the real problems and often needs to be adapted for different domains. Applying ontology to augment publishing and analyzing semantic data is one of the most important research areas. Ontology and ontology-based application can enhance modeling and processing of the semantic data, especially the data in specific domains, in terms of data integration, interoperability, reusability and intelligence.
In this workshop, we want to share the experience and solutions to apply ontologies to enhance semantic data management, focusing on Linked Data publishing and consumption in specific domains. We welcome not only Semantic Web researchers but also knowledge engineers, and domain experts, who developed and applied ontologies and ontology-based applications for enhancing semantic data publishing and analysis for specific domains.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
There are emerging demands on integrating various techniques, tools, and platforms to enhance and accommodate social intelligence to solve various social issues, such as increasing/decreasing of populations, which often requires consensus building among people having conflicting preferences. Although huge efforts have been done on AI-based heuristic approaches to solve various kind of social problems, better utilization of reasoning techniques is the key to make reasonable and agreeable decisions and actions to solve such issues since it has an ability to better explain what and why of those decisions are made as well as managing the processes of them. The organizers also believe that, providing well-designed platforms and tools to construct such applications will be crucial.
This Workshop welcomes researchers as well as practitioners from the fields of AI-based applications and platforms as well as related fields in AI, agents, and semantic technologies (e.g., mechanism design, social choice, and other agent-based technologies such as automated negotiation among intelligent software, applications to robotics and human-robot interactions, reasoning on logics and ontological descriptions, intelligent access to open data, and other related fields). This workshop aims to promote state-of-the-art techniques and platforms to the attendees and give them a good opportunity to emerge future collaborations.
Potential topics of interests are following:
Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions must be no longer than 12 pages. All submissions must be submitted via the EasyChair system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2018).
All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceeding thumb-drive (but not included in the Springer post-proceedings). After the conference, the papers will be proposed for publishing at CEUR Workshop Proceedings.
