  1. ISWC 2005 4th International Semantic Web Conference Galway, Ireland, Nov.6-10, 2005 http://iswc2005.semanticweb.org

  2. Statistics • About 450 participants (3 from CZ) • 4 invited talks • 54 contributed talks • from 217 submissions, 25% acceptance rate • Industrial track talks • 9 workshops, 4 tutorials • Semantic Web Challenge • 2 large satellite events • RuleML conference • OWL workshop

  3. Main impressions • Move towards end-user web applications • Mostly not-so-sophisticated semantics • fewer ‘hard-stuff’ logics papers • ? Less business-oriented, more ludicrous • applications focusing on entertainment and social life (maybe) more frequent than ‘serious’ business ones • people often mention FOAF, blogs, wikis, folksonomies…

  4. Main topic areas • Ontology mapping • Semantic web services • Social networks • GUI and visualisation • NLP techniques (semantic annotation and OL) • RDF storage and retrieval • (Especially) rule-based inference • Ontology development (esp. patterns) • Uncertainty processing (esp. Bayesian Networks) • Trust and security

  5. Invited Talk 1 • Carole Goble (U. Manchester): Using the Semantic Web for e-Science - Inspiration, Incubation, Irritation • focus on Bioinformatics: different types of voluminous interlinked data, distributed fuzzy communities • e-Science as Semantic Web ‘Nursery’ before it is adopted by business • RDF as interchange format, data integration • Gene Ontology: large, legacy, inexpressive • BioPAX, SciFOAF, myGrid (SWS) • different views of ontological engineering in Comp.Sci. vs. biology communities; need for design patterns etc.

  6. Invited Talk 2 • Alfred Spector (IBM): The Practical Web" - Semantic Acceleration Helping Realize the Semantic Web Vision • UIMA project: integration of different text analytics tools • cooperation with e.g. GATE • relation extraction considered critical • use in DARPA GALE project • seeking for academic contributors…

  7. Invited Talks 3 and 4 • Daniel J. Weitzner (MIT): Semantic Web Public Policy Challenges: Privacy, Provenance, Property and Personhood • Tim Berners-Lee (W3C): Web of Rules: Discussing whether knowledge can be represented in a web-like way using rules, so as to derive serendipitous benefit from the unplanned reuse of such knowledge

  8. Contributed Talks • P. Mika: Ontologies are us… • A. Bernstein et al.: Querying Ontologies… • P. Avesani et al.: A Large Scale Taxonomy Mapping Evaluation • J. Voelker et al.: Automatic Evaluation of Ontologies (AEON) • H. Wang et al.: Debugging Ontologies… • D. Hyunh et al.: Piggy Bank

  9. Contributed Talks • B. Kettler et al.: Template-based Markup… • J. Starz et al: The Concept Object Web… • L. Ding et al.: Finding and Ranking K… • M. O’Connor et al.: …SWRL • M. Ehrig et al.: Bootstrapping Ontology Alignment Methods with APFEL • W. R. von Hage: A Method to Combine Linguistic Ontology-Mapping Techniques

  10. Contributed Talks • G. Stoilos et al.: A String Metric for Ontology Alignment • A. Schutz, P. Buitelaar: RelExt: A Tool for Relation Extraction from Text… • F. Gandon: Graph-based inferences… • A. Gangemi: Ontology Design Patterns… • 2 talks on O.Mapping with uncertainty! • L. Sauerman, S. Schwartz: Gnowsis Adapter Framework

  11. Future Conferences • Next editions • ISWC’06: Athens, Georgia, USA (by LSDIS) • ISWC’07: South Korea (by DERI Korea) • Other conferences(~ same community) • ESWC’06: Budva, Montenegro, June 2006 • EKAW’06: Poděbrady, CZ, October 2006
