  2. Conference Profile • Chairs: Y. Sure (AIFB Karlsruhe, DE), J. Domingue (KMI, Open Univ., UK) • About 300 registered participants (2 from CZ) • 181 papers submitted, 48(26%) accepted • Poster and demo session • 3 invited talks: Frank van Harmelen, Ed Hovy, Anthony Jameson • 8 workshops, 7 tutorials • Industrial Forum

  3. Invited talk: Frank van Harmelen • Title: Where does it break? or: Why the Semantic Web is not just "research as usual" • Examples of traditional assumption of Computer Science that no longer hold • Traditional complexity measures • Tasks that are hard in theory may be easy in practice • Knowledge has to be considered in context • Logics and statistics no longer separate

  4. Invited talk: Ed Hovy • Title: Toward large-scale shallow semantics for higher-quality NLP • There is a lot of research on semantics in NLP, though more shallow than in KR • Statistical NLP can go far, but some KR semantics might help improve results • Gorbachev not spouse of Reagan • ML researchers working on tagged NLP corpora should understand the nature of NLP used

  5. Invited talk: Anthony Jameson • Title: Usability and the Semantic Web • Users want to have a (vague) idea of what is going on • Mental model vs. design model • Predict what the system will do • Help understand unexpected behaviour • Instant gratification • Mangrove: display the uses of user’s annotation in different services

  6. Sections of papers • ‘Traditional’ • Ontology Engineering, Learning, Evaluation, Alignment • Semantic Annotation • Searching and Querying • Reasoning, Rules • Semantic Web Services • Semantic Web Mining and Personalisation • New • Semantic Wiki and Blogging • Trust and Policies

  7. Some sessions/presentations I • Ontology Engineering • Conversion from web directories (Zakharyeu) and thesauri (van Assem) • Methodology for distributed ontology creation (Pinto) • Ontology Evaluation • Various quality metrics (Gangemi)

  8. Some sessions/presentations II • Ontology Alignment • Guessing semantics of directory paths (Serafini, Bouquet..) • Extrinsic dissimilarity based on vector model (Hess) • Heterogeneous mappings, e.g. concept-property (Ghidini) • Combination of different types of classifiers (Straccia, Troncy)

  9. ESWC 2007 • Organised by DERI Innsbruck • 3-6 June 2007 • General Chair: Enrico Franconi (Univ. Bolzano, IT)
