[foaf-dev] Deadline Extended, Scripting for the Semantic Web (SFSW) at ESWC 2008

[Tom Heath]

[apologies if you see this message more than once]

Hi all,

Due to numerous requests the deadline for submissions to the Scripting
for the Semantic Web workshop at ESWC2008 has been extended by one
week, to Friday 14th March 2008 (11:59pm Hawaii time). This deadline
extension applies to full papers, short papers and Scripting Challenge
entries. The Scripting Challenge is sponsored this year by Talis, and
carries a prize of an iPod Touch or 250 euros cash.

 More details are available at the workshop web site:

 Cheers,

 Tom.

 > Hi all,

 > just a quick reminder that the submission deadline for the
 > ESWC 2008 Scripting for the Semantic Web (SFSW) workshop is
 > approaching quickly, but there is still enough time to
 > prepare submissions.
 >
 > SFSW submission deadline: March 7, 2008
 >
 > The workshop seeks high-quality submissions on all aspects of
 > using scripting languages within Semantic Web applications
 > ranging from populating the Semantic Web with data from
 > existing systems to applications that do surprising things
 > with data from the Semantic Web.
 >
 > The special focus of this years workshop is the creation of
 > Semantic Web data through social interactions, as well as
 > applications that integrate socially-created data across
 > communities. Therefore, we especially encourage work on
 > providing Semantic Web access to socially-created content
 > bases, as well as approaches that facilitate data integration
 > across different content bases using Semantic Web technologies.
 >
 > I'm sure will have a great workshop and I'm looking forward
 > to meeting the whole scripting community in person at ESWC
 > 2008 again :-)

 > CALL FOR PAPERS
 > -------------------------------------------------------
 >
 > 4th Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web
 > http://www.semanticscripting.org/SFSW2008/
 >
 > co-located with
 > 5th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2008) June 1, 2008,
 > Tenerife, Spain
 >
 > -------------------------------------------------------
 >
 > OBJECTIVES
 > ----------
 >
 > The workshop aims to bring together developers who are
 > building applications and infrastructure for the Semantic Web
 > using scripting languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Ruby,
 > Python, Perl, JSP and ActionScript. These languages are the
 > tools of a generation of Web programmers who use them to
 > quickly create server and client-side web applications. Many
 > deployed Semantic Web applications from the FOAF, RSS/ATOM,
 > blog and wiki communities, as well as many innovative mashups
 > from the Web 2.0 and Open Data movements are using scripting
 > languages, and it is likely that the process of RDF-izing
 > existing Web applications and database-backed Web sites will
 > continue to rely heavily on scripting languages.
 >
 > This year's fourth workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web
 > aims to continue the tradition of successful ESWC scripting
 > workshops. Last years Scripting for the Semantic Web workshop
 > in Innsbruck, Austria
 > (http://www.semanticscripting.org/SFSW2007/) focused on the
 > role of scripting languages in populating the Web with Linked
 > Data, as well as showcasing innovative scripting applications
 > that consume Linked Data from the Web.
 >
 > The special focus of this years workshop is the creation of
 > Semantic Web data through social interactions, as well as
 > applications that integrate socially-created data across
 > communities. Therefore, we especially encourage work on
 > providing Semantic Web access to socially-created content
 > bases, as well as approaches that facilitate data integration
 > across different content bases using Semantic Web technologies.
 >
 > The workshop will include a scripting challenge which will
 > award an industry sponsored prize to the most innovative
 > scripting application.

 > TOPICS OF INTEREST
 > ------------------
 >
 > Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 >
 > Infrastructure
 > - Semantic Web frameworks and APIs for scripting languages
 > - RDF repositories and query languages implemented using scripting
 > languages
 > - Reasoning engines implemented using scripting languages
 > - Semantic Web publishing and data syndication frameworks
 > - Approaches to providing Linked Data views on socially-created
 > content bases
 > - Approaches to crawling Web data and querying distributed
 > data on the
 > Web
 >
 > Applications
 > - Semantic Web applications using scripting languages
 > - Approaches to using Semantic Web technologies for integrating data
 > across socially-created content bases and user communities
 > - Mashups that combine Linked Data from the Web with data
 > from Web 2.0
 > data sources such as Google, Yahoo, flickr, Amazon or eBay
 > - Wikis, weblogs, data syndication and content management
 > applications
 > using RDF
 > - Scripting applications for visualizing Web data
 > - Semantic Web Mining and Social Network Analysis
 > - Approaches to RDF-izing existing web-content, such as RDFa,
 > microformats, GRDDL
 > - Mashups that demonstrate the novel capabilities of Semantic Web
 > technologies
 >
 > Conceptual
 > - Rapid development techniques for the Semantic Web
 > - Employment of scripting language characteristics for Semantic Web
 > development
 > - Scalability and benchmarks of Semantic Web scripting applications
 >
 >
 > SCRIPTING CHALLENGE
 > -------------------
 >
 > The workshop includes a scripting challenge which will award an
 > industry sponsored prize to the most innovative small scripting
 > application or mashup. The application must be implemented using a
 > scripting language and Semantic Web technologies. It should access,
 > visualize or combine data from heterogeneous sources in a novel way.
 > Authors of Scripting Challenge submissions are not required to attend
 > the workshop personally. Please contact Gunnar Grimnes
 > (gunnar.grimnes
 > {at} dfki.de) for further information about the Scripting Challenge.
