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Ph.D. students to submit their original and unpublished work to the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.
