WORKSHOP

RDF/RDFS and OWL in Language Technology: 4th Workshop on NLP and XML
(NLPXML-2004)

25 July 2004, Barcelona

In conjunction with the 42nd annual meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (http://www.acl2004.org)

Workshop home page:
    http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~gwilcock/NLPXML-2004/


Overview

While XML is fully accepted within the NLP community as the main
standard for data representation, especially for purposes of
interchange and software interoperability, the use of Semantic Web
technologies--including RDF (Resource Definition Framework), RDFS (RDF
Schema), and OWL (Ontology Web Language)--for NLP applications remains
relatively limited. However, the combination of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL
provides an overall architecture for NLP resources of all kinds whose
implications are still being worked out within the NLP community.

The goal of this workshop is two-fold: (1) to provide a forum for
presentation and discussion of practical applications of RDF, RDFS and
OWL in language technology (including resource and software
development, applications, tools, etc.); and (2) to clarify the
respective roles of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL in NLP applications and
resources, in relation to the growth of the Semantic Web.

NLPXML-2004 is intended not only for those already using Semantic Web
technologies, but also members of the NLP community who seek a fuller
understanding of the motivations and implications of XML/RDF/RDFS/OWL,
the Semantic Web, and related standards for the field. Therefore, we
plan to include at least one invited presentation that covers in some
depth the Semantic Web technologies and attempts to identify the
interactions among various activities (resource creation and
annotation, application development, etc.) as well as the potential
interactions between the various Semantic Web layers in relation to
language technology.

This workshop will be the fourth in a series, following on from the
first NLPXML Workshop held at NLPRS 2001 in Tokyo, the second at
COLING 2002 in Taipei, and the third at EACL 2003 in Budapest.


Topics

We invite submissions on (but not necessarily limited to) the
following topics:

* Concrete examples of RDF/RDFS/OWL use for NLP resources and
   applications
* RDF/RDFS/OWL-aware NLP tools
* RDF/RDFS/OWL-based definition of data models and data categories
   for NLP
* RDF/RDFS/OWL-based standards for NLP and language resources
* Use and comparison of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL for linguistic
   annotation, including overall data architecture, implications for
   editorial practices, linkage mechanisms and issues for NLP data,
   etc.
* Use and comparison of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL in Semantic Web
   question answering and document generation applications
* Other topics in NLP and XML, not necessarily using Semantic Web
   technologies, for example VoiceXML and voice dialogue,
   XML-based standards (XML Schema, XSLT, XLink, etc.) for NLP
   applications.


Submission Procedure

Authors should submit full papers of maximum 8 pages, including
references and figures, following the main conference style files at
