Submission deadline is ** 26 February 2017 **


OBJECTIVES
The increase of Web capabilities leads to a deep qualitative 
change in the nature of cooperative activities. Nowadays, many 
activities are dynamic and take place in real time. Web 
practitioners, and applications, exploit, in rapidly varying 
ways, the richness of the Web to support users’ multifaceted 
activities. This causes dynamic changes in content, context, 
methods, meaning, and relationships to other pieces of knowledge, 
which affect the security and reliability of collaborations. 
The track theme explores how to share knowledge, views, facts, 
and opinions in a highly dynamic and secure Web-based environment. 
Coordinated, trusted, and secure sharing of information is an 
urgent topic in the Web research agenda. This creates the need 
for methods and tools to structure information sharing under 
correct conditions, such as preserving privacy and ensuring that 
distributed data and processes are consistently maintained in 
an evolving environment. Studies on knowledge engineering and 
artificial intelligence have proposed various Knowledge Organization 
Systems (KOS) (e.g. thesauri, ontologies, taxonomies, etc.), which 
play a crucial role in information recovery, disambiguation and 
identification on the Web. Reasoning techniques can also be applied, 
leading to a better decision or an awareness of events. W2T wants to 
explore the state-of-the-art on these topics, accommodating users’ 
practical experiences as well as trends and research topics, paving 
the way for future collaborative approaches to knowledge engineering.

Best papers from Web2Touch were published at International 
Journal of Web Portals 2011 and 2013, Concurrency and 
Computation 2013, Collaborative Enterprise 2013, and 
Future Generation Computer Systems 2016.

TOPICS COVERED
Web2Touch concerns improvements that can be produced through 
a better organization of knowledge, including alternatives to 
represent dynamic changes in shared information. Web2Touch is 
also about practical semantic collaboration experiences in a 
wide range of well-established and emerging interdisciplinary 
applications, including web science, eHealth, smart cities, 
smart companies, green IT, entertainment, eLearning and education. 
Contributions addressing one or more of the following topics 
are expected:
+ Ontologies
   - Ontology tools and ontology engineering
   - Ontology and knowledge reuse and integration
+ Semantic sharing and collaborative knowledge management
   - Data that is heterogeneous with respect to structure, 
     semantic richness, quality, dynamism, etc, including 
     big web data, linked open data, crowdsourced data, 
     social data, knowledge networks data
   - Crowdsourcing techniques for semantic collaboration
   - Use of semantics in mobile web, wearable computing, 
     and cross-device content management and delivery
   - Semantic annotations
   - Semantic-based Decision Support
   - Interoperability between semantic web services
   - Semantifying collaborative Web sources
   - Semantic technologies for Information Extraction
   - Collaborative knowledge validation, evolution and alignment
   - Collaborative knowledge management enabling context 
     exploitation and content personalization
+ Experiences in semantic web support for collaborative work and  business
   - Collaborative semantic web in interdisciplinary applications 
     such as web science, eHealth, eLearning, education, entertainment, 
     Internet of Things, smart homes, smart companies and smart cities.
