Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 12-May-2017 

Meeting Description:

This multidisciplinary workshop will explore current developments in research
into the description of location using human (natural) language, with a
particular view to considering directions and priorities for future research. 
The workshop will include both peer-reviewed presentations and group
discussions.


Call for Papers:

We invite papers that describe current research or are position papers
proposing future research directions and ideas, between 4 and 8 pages in
length including references.  Submitted papers will be peer reviewed by
members of the program committee and a volume of workshop proceedings will be
published in Springer or CEUR workshop proceedings. 

The scope:

- Approaches to automated extraction and understanding of natural language
descriptions of location in textual sources
- Approaches to automated generation of natural language location descriptions
from other data structures and formats
- Both verbal and written geospatial natural language
- Work on natural language related to both static and dynamic (movement)
location
- Work that aims to understand/explore/investigate the use of natural language
descriptions of location
- Future priorities in geospatial natural language research
- Geospatial natural language and ontologies
- Contextual factors in the use and interpretation of geospatial natural
language
- Real world applications that motivate the use of geospatial natural language
- Geospatial natural language querying
- Recent/current technological developments and their links to geospatial
natural language (e.g. social media, crowdsourcing)
- Links between language and spatial cognition and behaviour
- Robotics and geospatial natural language
- Connections between geospatial natural language and other areas of research
(e.g. qualitative spatial reasoning, semantics).

Submissions are due by 12 May.
