WORKSHOP

 OntoLex 2008 - The role of ontolex resources in building the infrastructure
of

  Web  3.0: vision and practice

 31 May 2008

 Palais des Congrès Mansour Eddahbi

 Marrakech (Morocco) 

In Association with

6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE RESOURCES AND EVALUATION

LREC2008  <http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/>
http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/

Main conference 28-29-30 May 2008

The integration of ontologies and lexical resources can be seen as a new
route across which hybrid agents negotiate contents and exchange linguistic
and ontological aspects of knowledge in shared environments. In this
workshop we aim at investigating the role of ontolex resources across
developing ideas and practice of Web 3.0, the connection of Web 2.0 (the
‘social web’) with the Semantic Web infrastructure of ontology-based
standards and technologies. 

The workshop will address the following specific topics of interest:

• Integrating multimedia into ontolex resources

• Cooperative construction of ontolex resources

• Linguistic interfaces for Semantic Web applications

• Exploiting ontolex resources in social networking 

• Web-Corpus linguistics for OntoLex Resource building

As well as the following general topics: 

• Ontology-driven meta-models for multilingual lexica

• Evaluation of ontolex resources in NLP tasks

• Evaluation of ontologies for building ontolex resources

• Ontology-driven annotation of corpora for ontology learning

• Design principles for the integrated representation of lexical and
ontological knowledge

• Open-source platforms for ontolex resources

Reasons of interest

The workshop is addressed to researchers and practitioners from a variety of
backgrounds – Semantic Web, AI, Machine Learning, NLP, Information Retrieval
– that are concerned with the representation and use of lexical knowledge in
semantic annotation, ontology-based approaches to information extraction,
ontology learning, ontology matching, etc. Originating in 2000 from a
visionary initiative of Kiryakov and Simov, and “historically” hosted by
LREC (2002-2004-2006), OntoLex has recently turned into a yearly workshop
(IJCNLP 2005, ISWC 2007) for a growing interdisciplinary community of
lexicographers, ontologists and computational linguists who recognize it de
facto as their common ‘meeting room’. This year’s edition aims at raising
the issue of ontolex resources in Web 3.0 to foster the discussion about
next-generation ontolex tools, on the basis of state-of-the-art technologies
and ongoing projects within the LREC community.
