From: http://csws2013.apexlab.org/ 7th China Semantic Web Symposium 2nd Web Science Conference (CSWS 2013) Call for research papers With only a few years, the rapid developing Web has led to revolutionary changes in the whole human society. The Semantic Web is the next generation of the Web. It provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. Semantic Web technologies facilitate building a large-scale Web of machine-readable and machine-understandable knowledge, and thus facilitate data reuse and integration so that the new generation of the Web can provide better applications and services. Nowadays, many scholars and experts are devoting them to the work of applying the Semantic Web theories into specific practice, while in turn improving the Semantic Web standards and technologies according to the demand in practice. Web Science involves full scope of Web-related researches and applications, and it integrates the Web-related interdisciplinary researches into a new field of scientific research. This joint conference aims to promote expansions from the Semantic Web to Web Science, and then to discuss the core technologies of Next Generation Web, such as the Web and swarm intelligence, a new generation of semantic search, semantic and Web security and so on. Scope and Interests The theme of CSWS 2013 is Linked Data Knowledge Graph . CSWS 2013 invites submissions of original work. The topics of the symposium include, but are not limited to: Languages, tools, and methodologies for ontology engineering Ontology extraction/induction from data and the Web Ontology engineering (including ontology matching, merging, evolution, versioning, ect.) Ontology/knowledge patterns Semantic search Ontology management and maintenance Ontology and data quality and evaluation Ontologies for semantic technologies network analysis of the Web and human communities on the Web Detailed studies of micro-level processes and interactions on the Web Collective intelligence and social computing The architecture and philosophy of the Web The intersection of design and human interaction on the Web Economics and social innovation on the Web Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons Personal data, trust, and privacy Social media mining and searching Studies of Linked Data, the Cloud, and digital eco-systems.

First Call for Papers 2nd Workshop on the Multilingual Semantic Web co-located with the 10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2011) in Bonn, Germany http://msw2.deri.ie Given the substantial growth of Web users that create and update knowledge all over the world in languages other than English, multilingualism has become an issue of major interest for the Semantic Web community. This process has been accelerated due to initiatives such as the Linked Data project, which encourages not only governments and public institutes to make their data available to the public, but also private organizations in domains such as medicine, geography, music etc. These actors often publish their data sources in their respective languages, and as such, in order to make this information interoperable and accessible to members of other linguistic communities, multilingual knowledge representation, access and translation are an impending need. Given the success of the first edition of this workshop, which was co-located with the 19th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2010), we were encouraged to organize the second version of this series. In this second edition we will have a special focus on: • representation of multilingual information and language resources in Semantic Web and Linked Data formats • cross-lingual discovery and representation of mappings between multilingual Linked Data vocabularies and datasets • cross-lingual querying of knowledge repositories and Linked Data • machine translation and localization strategies for the Semantic Web Further topics of interest include: • standards and best practices for representing multilingual data on the Web • transformation of (multilingual) resources to Semantic Web and Linked Data representations • architectures and infrastructure for a truly multilingual Semantic Web • models for multilingualism in knowledge representation, in particular OWL and RDF(S) • localization of ontologies to multiple languages, incl. label translation, multilingual terms • lexicon models for ontologies • automatic integration of (multilingual) lexicons with ontologies • multilingual and cross-lingual ontology-based information extraction and ontology population • multilingual aspects of semantic search of knowledge repositories • multilingual aspects of ontology verbalization • ontology learning across languages Important Dates August 15th - submission deadline September 5th - notification September 10th - camera-ready deadline October 23th or 24th - workshop Submission will be through the Easy Chair system: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=msw2 . We will accept long papers of at most 12 pages (LNCS), short papers describing preliminary results (max. 6 pages) as well as position papers describing work in progress or planned work (max. 6 pages).

'ontology' has a very different sense in philosophy and in information science. Representation of conceptual domains. This is the information science use, and is due to Tom Gruber, who was generally influenced by Husserlian formal ontology. In analytic philosophy, an ontology is determined by an *interpretation* , which is - loosely speaking - a function that projects an element of a language onto an element of the world, however widely-set or limited the world might be. In more formal semantics, an interpretation determines a model by assigning values to the variables of a theory; if the theory is of first or higher order, then its domain will be those individuals over which the quantifiers range and the properties and relations which obtain between and among them. So, in analytic metaphysics , an ontology is usually determined by an interpretation of a first-order theory; and a first-order theory is (evidently) expressed in first-order logic. This, I think, provides a unified language standard that is sufficient to anyone's requirement ;-) //提供统一的标准符合每个人的需求 Of course, this is entirely irrelevant to your particular practical interrogations . But I surmise that your puzzlement is due to the divergence between: 1.*extensional ontology*, which is the ontology of first-order theories, and is derived from the Frege-Russell school through Carnap, the Polish logicians, and Quine. Such ontologies are concerned with the *extension* of concepts //本体外延 2. *formal ontology*, which is derived from Brentano and Husserl; Barry Smith is a typical theorist in this field and any top-level ontology (BFO, DOLCE, GFO...) gives an example. Such ontologies are concerned with *concepts* and the relations between concepts //形式化的本体，关注概念和概念与概念间的关系 3. *applied ontologies*, which derive from formal ontologies through Tom Gruber s use of the term, are representations of a certain domain of knowledge. Vanrullen and Hirst (forthcoming) will show that ontology is, in fact, a misnomer here: as such ontologies concern concepts and the representation of knowledge, they range over *semantic * and *epistemic * domains, rather than *ontic* domains in sense (1) above; they would perhaps be better described as applied epistemologies . //应用本体，对某领域知识的表述， Applied ontologies in sense (3) range over domain-specific concepts and the relations obtaining between such concepts: thus, the objects of such ontologies are not regions of the world, but concepts. The ontologies I describe (in sense (1)) range over the *extensions* of concepts - that is, things in the world that supposedly correspond to, exemplify, or satisfy concepts. As far as social systems are concerned: // 关注社会系统 Generally, the relation between a concept and the range or sequence of things in the world that might satisfy that concept is a matter of *determination* - of how well the concept picks out one specific thing or class of things in the world. Where an applied ontology models a well-defined taxonomy (as in ontologies applied to biological sciences) or a domain having a prescribed or semi-formalised language (as in air traffic control), the concepts which figure in the ontology have a clear, well-defined extension. Practical tools based on such ontologies (decision-making tools, diagnostic tools) function efficiently because theres not much room for concept-based indetermination. However, when the ontology ranges over concepts with a less well-defined extension (as in most social interactions), the content of the concepts is not fixed and objectively-determinable in every situation, but is normative and context-sensitive. In everyday interaction, the precise sense of a concept depends on a context-sensitive and speaker-sensitive *interpretation* - and here, theres a strong risk of underdetermination of any concept with respect to the range of things and situations in the world to which it might apply. Such indetermination can touch terms with an apparently technical definition and here we can take the different understandings of the term ontology as an example. It follows that indetermination is common where terms have social and cultural connotations that will be understood differently by different actors (this is a common problem in employer-employee relations, where notions of the nature and finalities of collective action can be understood very differently by operational agents, management, and direction); such distinctions are often determined by the sociolect of the interlocutors. The possibilities of indetermination are already large in exchanges between sociolects in one language and within a common general culture; theyre evidently far greater in exchanges between interlocutors having different native languages and no shared general culture. All this being the case (and this rejoins Gustavos interrogations), any tools which might apply to social situations (sociometric tools, tools for managing and planning the disposition of human resources, tools for skills management, training tools etc.) need to integrate norm-based rather than rule-based conceptual domains (domains in which a term takes a range of possible values or sets of values that are further determined by context, rather than domains in which a concept takes one, fixed value or set of values). A particular problem in the use of such devices as is to decision or consulting is that the user (and, for that matter, the technician) can confuse concepts with the putative extension of concepts for example, that he or she can take for granted not only that everyone knows what a family is, but also that everyone knows that a family is a system. The first is perhaps pragmatically the case for all competent speakers of English, but the second depends on the speaker having a reasonably sophisticated understanding of what a system is... that is, on the speaker possessing a theory of systems系统理论. Indeed, this is precisely the weakness of most systems thinking systems theory originated with biologists, and biological entities (living organisms, organs, cells...) are probably the most self-evident class of systems in the natural world. 系统理论起源生物学，生物实体 However, while it might be evident to a biologist that something is a system, this is a product of the biologists particular epistemic context it doesnt follow that it is *universally* evident that that thing is a system. The biological systems theorist is confusing混淆 a concept organism, organ with the extension of that concept: a liver is a system *with respect to a system of theories* - but with respect to the man on the Clapham omnibus, its a piece of offal that hes going to fry with onions for his tea.

今天实在没力气继续昨天的内容了，就介绍我们最近的一篇文章吧。 九月二十六日收到出版的通知，今天链出来供大家批评。相关信息如下： 1）出版信息： The Distinctive Lexicon and Consensual Conception of e-Government: an Exploratory Perspective in International Review of Administrative Sciences Volume 76 Issue 3, September 2010； 2）摘要：Presently, the field of e-Government still lacks a coherent identity. For its future development, it would be useful to identify a distinctive lexicon and widely shared conception to help scholars understand its essence. In this study, exploratory work was conducted using a large-scale survey of e-Government articles from 1993 to 2008. A total of 752 abstracts from the worlds leading databases (i.e. Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science (CPCI-S)) were retrieved, and 528 were analyzed using Computer-Aided Text Analysis (CATA) software. Based on the content analysis, a widely shared conception of the field held by its members was determined and a methodology to obtain a consensual definition of an academic field was designed. 3）实践意义：By determining and presenting a widely shared conception of e-Government, this study aims to provide scholars, particularly the young, with a deeper understanding of the scope and meaning of the field. This consensual conception may serve either as a screen or as a magnet for future practitioners and academics. The methodology may be applied to several academic fields, including administration science, library science, management science, computer science, and others. 4）考虑到版权问题，这里给出全文链接： http://ras.sagepub.com/content/76/3/577 欢迎同行批评指正！

http://code.google.com/p/semanticvectors/ The Semantic Vectors Package Apache Lucene . The package was created as part of a project by the University of Pittsburgh Office of Technology Management, and is now used by several other institutions and companies as well. Semantic Vector indexes, created by applying a Random Projection algorithm to term-document matrices created using The package creates a WordSpace model, of the kind developed by Stanford University's Infomap Project and other researchers during the 1990s and early 2000s. Such models are designed to represent words and documents in terms of underlying concepts, and as such can be used for many semantic (concept-aware) matching tasks such as automatic thesaurus generation, knowledge representation, and concept matching. The Semantic Vectors package uses a Random Projection algorithm, a form of automatic semantic analysis, similar to Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and its variants like Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA). However, unlike other methods, Random Projection does not rely on the use of computationally intensive matrix decomposition algorithms like Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). This makes Random Projection a much more scalable technique in practice. Our application of Random Projection for Natural Language Processing (NLP) is descended from Pentti Kanerva's work on Sparse Distributed Memory, which in semantic analysis and text mining, this method has also been called Random Indexing. A growing number of researchers have applied Random Projection to NLP tasks, demonstrating: Semantic performance comparable with other forms of Latent Semantic Analysis. Significant computational performance advantages in creating and maintaining models. Documentation http://semanticvectors.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/index.html .

From: http://msw.deri.ie/ Although knowledge processing on the Semantic Web is inherently language-independent, human interaction with semantically structured and linked data will remain inherently language-based as this will be done preferably by use of text or speech input in many different languages. Semantic Web development will therefore be increasingly concerned with knowledge access to and generation in/from multiple languages, i.e., in: multilingual querying of knowledge repositories and linked data multilingual knowledge and result presentation in semantic search multilingual verbalization of ontology structure in ontology engineering ontology-based information extraction from multilingual text and semi-structured data ontology learning from multilingual text and semi-structured data Multilinguality is therefore an emerging challenge to Semantic Web development and to its global acceptance across language communities around the world. The workshop will therefore be concerned with discussion of new infrastructures, architectures, algorithms etc. that will enable easy adaptation of Semantic Web applications to multiple languages, addressing issues in representation, extraction, integration, presentation etc. Expected Topics models for the integration of linguistic information with ontologies architectures and infrastructure for a truly multilingual Semantic Web models for multilinguality in knowledge representation, in particular OWL and RDF(S) localization of ontologies to multiple languages, incl. label translation, multilingual terms adaptation of (multilingual) lexicons to ontologies automatic integration of (multilingual) lexicons with ontologies multilingual cross-lingual ontology-based information extraction ontology population multilingual aspects of semantic search querying of knowledge repositories multilinguality and linked data (generation, querying, visualization presentation) multilingual aspects of ontology verbalization ontology learning across languages Important Dates Submission Deadline: February 21st, 2010 Notification: March 19th, 2010 Camera-ready Deadline: April 1st, 2010 Workshop: April 26th or 27th, 2010 Organizing Committee Paul Buitelaar Unit for Natural Language Processing , DERI - National University of Ireland, Galway http://www.paulbuitelaar.net/ Philipp Cimiano Semantic Computing Group, Cognitive Interaction Technology Excellence Cluster (CITEC) Bielefeld University, Germany http://www.cimiano.de Elena Montiel-Ponsoda Ontology Engineering Group, Departamento de Inteligencia Artificial Universidad Politcnica de Madrid, Espaa emontiel(at)delicias.dia.fi.upm.es Program Committee Guadalupe Aguado de Cea , Universidad Politcnica de Madrid - Artificial Intelligence Department, Spain Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles , IRIT, Toulouse - Knowledge Engineering, Cognition and Cooperation, France Timothy Baldwin , Univ. of Melbourne - Language Technology Group, Australia Roberto Basili , Universita Tor Vergata, Rome - Artificial Intelligence group, Italy Chris Bizer , Freie Universitt Berlin - Web-based Systems Group, Germany Francis Bond , NICT - Language Infrastructure Group, Japan Christopher Brewster , Aston University - Operations and Information Management Group, UK Dan Brickley , Vrije Universiteit FOAF project, the Netherlands Nicoletta Calzolari , ILC-CNR - Computational Linguistics Institute, Italy Manuel Tomas Carrasco Benitez , European Commission, Luxembourg Key-Sun Choi , KAIST - Semantic Web Research Center, South-Korea Thierry Declerck , DFKI - Language Technology Lab, Germany Aldo Gangemi , ISTC-CNR - Semantic Technology Laboratory, Italy Asuncion Gmez Prez , Universidad Politcnica de Madrid - Artificial Intelligence Department, Spain Gregory Grefenstette , Exalead, France Siegfried Handschuh , DERI, Nat.
