COLING 2000 Workshop on Semantic Annotation and Intelligent Content
Centre Universitaire, Luxembourg, 5/6 August, 2000
Topic and Motivation
SEMANTIC ANNOTATION is augmentation of data to facilitate automatic
recognition of the underlying semantic structure. A common practice in
this respect is labeling of documents with thesaurus classes for the
sake of document classification and management. In the medical domain,
for instance, there is a long-standing tradition in terminology
maintenance and annotation/classification of documents using standard
coding systems such as ICD, MeSH and the MLS metathesaurus. Semantic
annotation in a broader sense also addresses document structure (title,
section, paragraph, etc.), linguistic structure (dependency,
coordination, thematic role, coreference, etc.), and so forth. In NLP,
semantic annotation has been used in connection with machine-learning
software trainable on annotated corpora for parsing, word-sense
disambiguation, coreference resolution, summarization, information
extraction, and other tasks. A still unexplored but important potential
of semantic annotation is that it can provide a common I/O format
through which to integrate various component technologies in NLP and AI
such as speech recognition, parsing, generation, inference, and so on.
INTELLIGENT CONTENT is semantically structured data that is used for a
wide range of content-oriented applications such as classification,
retrieval, extraction, translation, presentation, and
question-answering, as the organization of such data provides machines
with accurate semantic input to those technologies. Semantically
annotated resources as described above are typical examples of
intelligent content, whereas another major class includes electronic
dictionaries and interlingual or knowledge-representation data. Some
ongoing projects along these lines are GDA (Global Document Annotation),
UNL (Universal Networking Language) and SHOE (Simple HTML Ontology
Extension), all of which aim at motivating people to semantically
organize electronic documents in machine-understandable formats, and at
developing and spreading content-oriented application technologies aware
of such formats. Along similar lines, MPEG-7 is a framework for
semantically annotating audiovisual data for the sake of content-based
retrieval and browsing, among others. Incorporation of linguistic
annotation into MPEG-7 is in the agenda, because linguistic descriptions
already constitute a main part of existing metadata.
In short, semantic annotation is a central, basic technology for
intelligent content, which in turn is a key notion in systematically
coordinating various applications of semantic annotation. In the hope of
fueling some of the developments mentioned above and thus promoting the
linkage between basic researches and practical applications, the
workshop invites researchers and practitioners from such fields as
computational linguistics, document processing, terminology, information
science, and multimedia content, among others, to discuss various
aspects of semantic annotation and intelligent content in an
interdisciplinary way. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
authoring/annotation tools
integrated software architecture based on semantic
annotation
language-based multimedia annotation
standardization and interoperability
semantic annotation, intelligent content and:
document classification
information extraction
information retrieval (interactive, pinpoint,
content-based, etc.)
intelligent/interactive manual
knowledge circulation and management
knowledge mining
machine translation
presentation (interactive, multimodal/multimedia,
etc.)
question answering
summarization (multimedia, multidocument, itemized,
graphical, etc.)
Please note: Submissions on syntactic annotation (tools, methods,
standards, etc.) should not be submitted to this workshop, but rather to
the COLING Workshop on Linguistically Interpreted Corpora.

26 - 27 July 2000
Jakarta, Indonesia
###
Persons wishing to present a paper at the symposium are
invited to submit a one-page abstract, by regular mail,
email, or fax, to David Gil, at any of the following
addresses:
Department of Linguistics,
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology,
Inselstrasse 22, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany
email: gil at eva.mpg.de
fax: 49-341-9952119
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 15 April 2000
###
Papers to be presented at the symposium should be concerned
with the Malay / Indonesian language in any of its varieties.
In addition to the standardized versions of Bahasa Melayu
and Bahasa Indonesia, papers are particularly welcome dealing
with non-canonical varieties such as Betawi Malay,
Jakarta Indonesian, Peranakan Malay, Bazaar Malay,
and regional dialects of Malay and Indonesian.
Papers may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may
represent variegated approaches and diverse theoretical
persuasions. Presentations at the symposium will be delivered
in English.
