[Nepomuk] CfP: Personal Semantic Data 2010 - Workshop at EKAW 2010

[Stéphane Laurière]

Hi everyone,

Please find below a call for proposal for the 1st workshop on Personal
Semantic Data. Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please consider
to contribute and/or forward to interested colleagues and groups.


                         Call for Papers

           1st Workshop on Personal Semantic Data: PSD 2010

          http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Personal_Semantic_Data

                   co-located with EKAW 2010

              11th - 15th October, Lisbon, Portugal


Personal Semantic Data is scattered over several media, and while
semantic technologies are already successfully deployed on the Web as
well on the desktop, data integration is not always straightforward. The
transition from the desktop to a distributed system for Personal
Information Management (PIM) raises new challenges which need to be
addressed. These challenges overlap areas related to human-computer
interaction, privacy and security, information extraction, retrieval and
matching.

This workshop will bring together academics and industrial practitioners
with the goal of fostering cross-domain collaborations to further
advance the use of technologies from the Semantic Web and the Web of
Data for PIM and to explore and discuss the challenges and approaches
for improving PIM through the use of vast amounts of (semantic)
information available online. At the same time we want to provide a
platform for discussing research topics and challenges related to
personal semantic data.

9 July 2010 - Submission deadline
9 August 2010 - Notification
27 August 2010 - Camera-ready version

desktop and Web

* Managing personal data across heterogeneous social media sites

sources and using heterogeneous interfaces (e.g. mobile devices)
-Modeling of semantic information for personal and social use

* Generation of personal semantic data from novel sources

information
