Meeting Description:

ISA-14 is the fourteenth edition of a series of joint workshops of the ACL
Special Interest Group in Semantics (SIGSEM) and the International
Organisation for Standardisation ISO. The first workshop in this series took
part in conjunction with the IWCS 2003 conference in Tilburg (Netherlands);
the latest editions were held as part of the LREC conference in Portoroz
(Slovenia), 2016 (ISA-12) and the IWCS conference 2017 in Montpellier
(France), September 2017 (ISA-13). 

ISA-workshops bring together experts in the annotation of semantic information
as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, video, images, and in
communicative behaviour where multiple modalities are combined. Examples of
semantic annotation include the markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts,
discourse relations, semantic roles, coreference, and named entities, for
which the ISO organisation pursues the establishment and exploitation of
standardised annotation methods and representation schemes in order to support
the creation of interoperable semantic resources.


Call for Papers:

Topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:

- Methodological aspects of semantic annotation
- Integration of semantic annotation and other linguistic annotations
- Considerations for merging annotations of distinct phenomena
- Use of multiple levels of annotation
- Semantic annotation, interpretation, and inferencing
- Levels of granularity in annotation schemes
- Use of context in semantic annotation procedures
- Uncertainty and ambiguity in semantic annotations
- Semantic annotation and ontologies
- Comparison of semantic annotation schemes
- Evaluation metrics and strategies for semantic annotation
- Evaluation of semantic annotations 
- Experiments in semantic annotation
- Applications of semantic annotation
- Best practices for semantic annotation procedures
- Application and evaluation of standards for semantic annotation
- Language- or application-specific aspects of semantic annotation 
- Issues in the annotation of specific domains of semantic information, such
as:
+ Events, states, processes, circumstances, facts
+ Relations in discourse and dialogue
+ Time and space
+ Modality,  polarity and factuality
+ Quantification and modification
+ Coreference relations
+ Semantic roles and predicate-argument structures
+ Reference and named entities
+ Attribution, attitudes, and sentiment

Three types of submission are invited:

- Research papers, describing original research in the area of semantic
annotation; these can be either long (6-8 pages not including references) or
short (3-4 pages, not including references)
- Project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects involving
semantic annotation (2-4 pages including references)
- Demonstration notes, accompanying demonstration of software tools to support
manual semantic annotation, or systems for automatic semantic annotation (2-4
pages including references)
