CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence meets the Web of Data
(AImWD-2013)
co-located with the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC-2013)
( http://sites.google.com/site/aimwd13/ )


----------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Linked Data initiative aims at improving data publication on the Web,
thereby creating a "Web of Data": an interconnected, distributed, global
data space. The Web of Data enables people to share structured data on the
Web as easily as they can currently share documents on the Web of Documents
(WWW). The availability of this global data space creates new opportunities
for the exploitation of Artificial Intelligence techniques in relation with
knowledge representation, information extraction, data mining, information
integration, and intelligent agents. Two approaches can emerge: (i) using
AI techniques to address the problems the Web of Data faces or, (ii) using
the design principles of the Web of Data to improve knowledge
representation, publications and reasoning within AI techniques.
The workshop is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate
the Semantic Web and AI disciplines like natural language processing, AI
and law, game theory, cognitive science, and digital societies. This
workshop aims at bringing them together, and we invite papers from all the
above disciplines, in particular those that cross the traditional
disciplinary boundaries. With this workshop, our goal is to contribute to
the birth of a community having a shared interest around publishing data on
the Web, exploring and reasoning over it using AI technologies - or the
inverse, improving AI technologies by the adoption of techniques and tools
proposed within Web of Data research.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS

We solicit original and high quality submissions addressing all aspects of
these fields. The topics
of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
