Second Call for Papers

Applications of GermaNet II

(Follow-up of the GLDV GermaNet Workshop
''Applications of the German wordnet in Theory and Practice'',
October 2003)

Workshop of the GLDV AK Lexikographie held in conjunction with the Biennial
Conference of the Society of Linguistics 2005

Title of the talk: t.b.a.

After the success of the first GermaNet Workshop which took place in October
2003 at Tübingen, the GLDV Conference provides an ideal opportunity to bring
together wordnet researchers, developers and users for a 2nd GermaNet Workshop.

The building of wordnets and their application in natural language processing
scenarios still plays an important role in Computational Linguistics (LREC 2004,
ACL 2004, etc.).

This workshop aims at exchanging results and experiences as well as discussing
desiderata and perspectives related to GermaNet resp. other wordnets.

We are looking forward to receiving papers and presentations on the following
topics (contributions focussing on other wordnet-related issues are also welcome):

* GermaNet and other wordnets applied to natural language processing for e.g.
Information Retrieval and Document Classification

* terminological extensions and applications of wordnets (inclusion of
domain-specific vocabularies, term extraction, etc.)

* ontological extensions of wordnets (machine learning techniques for the
acquisiton of semantic relations, merging wordnets with upper ontologies, etc.)

Extended abstracts should be submitted in plain text format or pdf.
They should contain up to 500 words, not including the bibliography.

Important Dates

Submissions of extended abstracts:
02.11.2004

Notification of acceptance:
15.12.2004

Final versions, for inclusion in the proceedings, due:
15.01.2005

Conference:
30.3.- 01.04.2005

Participants of the workshop should register for the GLDV Conference.

Requests and abstract submissions should be directed to the Workshop
