Application Areas for Semantics Some emerging areas: • Knowledge Provenance • Open Linked Data • Ontologies, their environments, and their “enablement” of applications Other classes cover: Semantic eScience; Xinformatics; Data Science Assorted specific topics • Smart search • Annotation (even simple forms), smart tagging • Explanation, Proof, Trust • Geospatial • Implementing logic (rules), e.g. in workflows • Data integration • Verification • Web services • Web content mining with natural language parsing and query • User interface development (portals) • Semantic desktop • Wikis - OntoWiki, SemanticMediaWiki • Sensor Web • Software engineering

Some Pointers • Journals • Journal of Web Semantics: • Journal of AI Research: • International Journal On Semantic Web and Information Systems: • International Journal of Semantic Computing (IJSC): • International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (IJMSO): • Journal of Data Semantics: • Journal of Semantics:
Preparing to Submit • Go to the web site • Look for important dates (submission, and conference) • Look at the call for papers • Review topics and keywords • Look at the organizers • Look at location – can you go? Do you have visa issues? Do you have funding? Do they offer student support? • Review co-located events • Review past conference listings • Do any of you have material you might be interested in submitting during the course of this class?
Schedule – course web site • Reading assignments • Assignments • Individual • Group • Written assessments – your presentations and any 1-page submission • Presentation assessments • Sign up will be available on the course web site during the week – for the 10min talks next week and for during the term
What is expected • Attend class, complete assignments • Participate • Ask questions – be honest with yourself and others about what you do and do not know • Work individually and when you are stuck, ask for help • Work constructively in group and class sessions
Some project inspirations • Preparing a proposal • NSF Smart Health – http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12512/nsf12512.htm • NSF Expeditions in Computing • http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503169 • Preparing a paper for publication • Look at the conferences and workshops
Some project inspirations • Semantic projects • SemantAQUA - http://tw.rpi.edu/web/project/SemantAQUA • PopSciGrid – http://tw.rpi.edu/web/project/PopSciGrid • Wine Agent - http://tw.rpi.edu/web/project/Wineagent • Last term projects • USGS opportunity • WHOI opportunity
Logistics summary • This weeks assignment: • Research survey of topics, come prepared with a 1-page description of a research topic and be prepared to talk about it for 10 minutes • Initial reading “From the Semantic Web to social machines: A research challenge for AI on the WWW” by Hendler and Berners-Lee.http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs227/Readings/hendler-berners-lee-semantic-web.pdf • Re-read PPSR – Public Participation in Scientific Research http://www.birds.cornell.edu/citscitoolkit/about/defining-citizen-science • Make a connection between your research interest and this paper and PPSR • Write one paragraph on one of the interesting ideas from either social machines or PPSR and why it is interesting to you • Review conference calls for papers • Next class (week 2 – Jan 31, 2012): • 10 minute presentations each on research agendas • Questions?
