Semantic annotations refer to the metadata markup of times, locations, countries, events, other named entities, as well as relations such as semantic roles and co-reference links. Hence, one goal is to integrate the findings and tools from computational linguistics and the corpus annotation sciences with the community from information retrieval working on metadata tagging and semantic annotation. The main focus of the workshop will be on sharing information, techniques, annotation environments, and discussion of interoperable formats and standardization of content markup. Call for Papers: Deadline extended to June 17, 2011. This one-day workshop complements the main conference themes by focusing on natural language processing, semantic annotation, metadata specifications, and applications in data mining, information retrieval, question answering systems, and other language based applied systems. Topics will include: - Methodological aspects of semantic annotation - Experiments in or with semantic annotation - Semantic annotation and semantic interpretation - Semantic annotation, ontologies, and inferencing - The semantics of semantic annotations - Issues in semantic annotation for question answering - Semantic annotation tools and environments - Annotation in the service of data mining - Temporal entities and relations - Spatial entities and relations - Event and process annotation - Semantic roles and predicate-argument structures - Discourse relations Regular papers should be no longer than eight (8) pages, short papers should be no longer than four (4) pages. Submission details and style files can be found at http://www.ieee-icsc.org/ Important Dates: June 17th, 2011: Regular & Short Paper Submission (Extended deadline) June 23th, 2011: Notification Date July 15th, 2011: Camera-Ready & Registration Organizing Committee: James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University (Workshop Co-Chair, Contact), jamespcs.brandeis.edu Kiyong Lee, Korea University (Workshop Co-Chair) Harry Bunt, Tilburg University (Workshop Co-Chair) Laurent Romary, INRIA (Workshop Co-Chair) Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 03-Jun-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
