Meeting Description:

Tilburg University in the Netherlands will host the 6th International
Workshop on Computational Semantics on 12-14 January 2005. The aim of
the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in any aspect
of the computation, annotation, and representation of meaning in
natural language, in multimedia objects, or in multimodal
messages. The workshop will be preceded by the 4th meeting of the
ACl-SIGSEM Working Group on the Representation of Multimodal Semantic
Information on 10-11 January 2005. This meeting will be open to IWCS-6
participants.

The Sixth International Workshop on Computational Semantics (IWCS-6)
will be held on January 12-14, 2005 at Tilburg University in Tilburg,
The Netherlands.

Invited speakers at IWCS-6 will be: Dafydd Giboon (U. Bielefeld),

Immediately preceding IWCS-6, on 10-11 January 2005 the ACL SIGSEM
Working Group on the Representation of Multimodal Semantic Information
will have a joint meeting with the newly formed Thematic Domain Group
om Multimodal Content of the International Standards organisation ISO
(Technical Committee 37, Subcommittee 4 on standards in language
resources). In this meeting members of the ISO Thematic Domain Group
will present initial efforts aimed at identifying interoperable
concepts for semantic representation and annotation in 6 subdomains:
- discourse relations
- dialogue acts
- semantic roles
- basic formal semantic relations
- temporal objects and relations
- referential entities and links.
This joint SIGSEM/ISO meeting will be open to SIGSEM members and to
IWCS-6 participants.
