=====================================

Ontologies and Information Extraction

International Workshop held as part of the
EUROLAN'03 Summer School
July 28 - August 8, 2003
Bucarest, Romania

New extended dead-line: 5th May 2003

Call for Papers
Information Extraction systems were designed to filter, to select and to
classify the increasing amount of information available nowadays, mainly on
the Web. Most of them were based on shallow natural language processing
techniques, but semantics was not really used, due to the unavailability of
generic ontologies.

During last years, some generic ontologies become available and a lot of
research projets tried to take into account semantic aspects to obtain more
precise results for IE systems.
Meanwhile, important efforts concentrate on developping tools for semi-
automatic building of domain-specific ontologies, based on IE and text-
mining techniques.

This workshop will provide a forum for discussion between leading names in
the field and researchers involved in the development of ontology-based IE
systems or semi-automatic tools for building ontologies. We would like to
invite researchers, master and Ph.D. students to submit their original and
unpublished work to the workshop. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to:

-       semantic annotation;

-       content-based indexing and retrieval;

-       robust analysis of language data;

-       text mining;

-       platforms for semi-automatic ontology extraction;

-       formalisms for ontology representations.


Submission Requirements
Authors are invited to submit a 4-6 pages extended abstract in electronic
form (postscript or PDF) by 05th May 2003. Authors of accepted papers
should submit the final version in electronic format not later than 15th of

The documents must be in either postscript or pdf format (PDF is
encouraged, but postscript documents are acceptable as well). If you have
problems delivering your paper in one of these formats, please contact the
