Date: 05-Mar-2012 From: Manuel Silva <mdasilvaiscap.ipp.pt> Subject: Workshop on Challenges to Knowledge Representation in Multilingual Contexts E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Workshop on Challenges to Knowledge Representation in Multilingual Contexts Date: 19-Jun-2012 - 19-Jun-2012 Location: Madrid, Spain Contact Person: Rute Costa Meeting Email: < click here to access email > Web Site: http://www.oeg-upm.net/tke2012/ Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Semantics; Translation Call Deadline: 13-Apr-2012 Meeting Description: To meet the increasing demands of the complex inter-organizational processes and the demand for continuous innovation and internationalization, it is evident that new forms of organisation are being adopted, fostering more intensive collaboration processes and sharing of resources, in what can be called collaborative networks (Camarinha-Matos, 2006:03). Information and knowledge are crucial resources in collaborative networks, being their management fundamental processes to optimize. Knowledge organisation and collaboration systems are thus important instruments for the success of collaborative networks of organisations having been researched in the last decade in the areas of computer science, information science, management sciences, terminology and linguistics. Nevertheless, research in this area didn't give much attention to multilingual contexts of collaboration, which pose specific and challenging problems. It is then clear that access to and representation of knowledge will happen more and more on a multilingual setting which implies the overcoming of difficulties inherent to the presence of multiple languages, through the use of processes like localization of ontologies. Although localization, like other processes that involve multilingualism, is a rather well-developed practice and its methodologies and tools fruitfully employed by the language industry in the development and adaptation of multilingual content, it has not yet been sufficiently explored as an element of support to the development of knowledge representations - in particular ontologies - expressed in more than one language. Multilingual knowledge representation is then an open research area calling for cross-contributions from knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences. This workshop intends to join researchers interested in multilingual knowledge representation, in a multidisciplinary environment to debate the possibilities of cross-fertilization between knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences applied to contexts where multilingualism continuously creates new and demanding challenges to current knowledge representation methods and techniques. For further information, contact: Rute Costa Email: rute.costafcsh.unl.pt Call for Papers: Papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics: Collaborative processes in multilingual terminology work Multilingual ontology development and maintenance Interfaces between multilingual terminology work and ontology development Multilingual collaborative conceptualization processes and representation of knowledge Multilingual knowledge organisation systems and collaboration Cross-lingual knowledge access Localization strategies for knowledge representation Localization of ontologies to multiple languages Multilingual and cross-lingual information extraction and ontology population Representation of multilingual information and language resources in the Semantic Web Theoretical models in multilingual terminology work Submissions: We invite you to submit papers reporting on completed activity including concrete evaluation results (no more than 8 pages, oral presentation). Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Papers should be submitted to: rute.costafcsh.unl.pt. Important Dates: Deadline for submission: April 13, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 11, 2012 Camera-ready papers: May 25, 2012 Workshop (co-located with TKE 2012): June 19, 2011 This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donation/ The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor. Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program. Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST! Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
