Workshop Outline

The "Semantic Web", a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, is used to
denote the next evolution step of the Web. Associating meaning with
content or establishing a layer of machine understandable data would
allow automated agents, sophisticated search engines and interoperable
services, will enable higher degree of automation and more intelligent
applications. The ultimate goal of the Semantic Web is to allow
machines the sharing and exploitation of knowledge in the Web way,
i.e. without central authority, with few basic rules, in a scalable,
adaptable, extensible manner. With RDF as the basic platform for the
Semantic Web, a multitude of tools, methods and systems have just
appeared on the horizon. The goal of the workshop is to share
experiences about these systems, exchange ideas about improvements of
existing tools and creation of new systems, principles and
applications. Also an important goal is to develop a cooperation model
among Semantic Web developers, and to develop a common vision about
the future developments.

Relevant workshop topics include (non-exhaustive list):
   · Language and Representation issues
   · Semantic Web infrastructure and architectures
   · Metadata and conceptual models for annotating content, resources,
and portals
   · Automatic annotation/tagging/metadata creation and recommendation
   · Tools, systems and methodologies for Semantic Web
   · Application of  semantic web technology
   · Migrating information to semantic formats & Information Filtering
   · Trust in the Semantic Web
   · Query languages for the Semantic Web
   · Information correlation, integration, mediation and brokering on
       the Web
   · Resource discovery
   · Distributed inference services
   · Semantic Web mining

Important Dates

 Deadline for paper submission 1 Jan 2001
 Notification of acceptance    1 Feb 2001
 Deadline final contributions  1 Apr 2001

 All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

2001 Texas Linguistic Society Conference
The Role of Agreement in Natural Language
March 2-4, 2001
University of Texas at Austin

TLS 2001 Call for Papers

The role of agreement in natural language is an issue of current interest
and debate in many subfields of linguistics including morphology, syntax,
semantics, and language acquisition, and poses a number of empirical and
theoretical problems for all frameworks of linguistic theory.  The aim of
this conference will be to share research findings and proposals on the
role of agreement in relation to a number of current issues in these areas
and interface issues between these areas including the role of agreement in
morphology and the lexicon, the problem of "dis-agreement" effects, the
role of agreement in the theory of clause structure and Universal Grammar,
the role of agreement in semantic interpretation, and the role of agreement
in language acquisition in relation to these areas.

We invite abstracts on original, unpublished work in any of these areas as
they relate to the role of agreement in natural language.

Invited Keynote Speakers

Hilda Koopman, UCLA
	The Locality of Agreement
Margeret Speas, UMASS
	Functional Categories and the Syntax-Pragmatics Interface
Sandy Chung, UC-Santa Cruz
	The Two Faces of Agreement

Abstracts

Please submit ten copies of a one-page, 500-word, anonymous abstract for a
twenty minute paper (optionally, one additional page for data and/or
references may be appended), along with a 3" by 5" card with:

1)  your name,
2)  your affiliation,
3)  your address, phone number, and e-mail address,
4)  the title of the paper, and
5)  an indication of which subfield of linguistics best describes the topic
(e.g., Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Language Acquisition, etc.)

Abstract Submissions

By regular mail
Please send abstracts to:
TLS 2001 Abstract Committee
501 Calhoun
The University of Texas at Austin

 By e-mail

E-mail abstracts will also be accepted. They must be submitted as
attachments to an e-mail message. They may not be contained with the body
of a message. The body of the message should include all information listed
