The European Semantic Technologies Conference (ESTC) is the
leading European forum to bring together those who use Semantic Technologies in
their business, those who implement Semantic Solutions and those who build
semantically-enabled products.
With semantic technology becoming
increasingly mature and commercially deployed, the need for a European
industrial event (to complement existing academic events) is evident.
For
the first ESTC, we are seeking contributions of:
• Businesses and public
organizations describing their practical experience (case studies) in using
Semantic Technologies (the problem, the solution, initial expectations, the
project, results, cost/benefit)
• Vendor reports on semantically-enabled
products and solutions
• Analyst reports on the current market situation for
Semantic Technologies
In particular, we invite the submission of case
studies, reports and practical experience papers in the following subject
areas:
• Experience of Business Deployments of Semantic Web
technologies
- value proposition and business case,
- return
on investment,
- ease of adoption of technologies,
- gaining
end-user acceptance,
- problems encountered in deploying semantic
technology,
- limits (and limitations) of semantic technology
today,
- dos and don’ts of applying semantic technology,
-
recognising the need – when to apply semantic technology,
-
integration with legacy systems, and so on;
• Semantic Technology market
in Europe and globally;
• Semantic Technology for Data and Information
Integration;
• Business Rules and Vocabularies;
• Management of content
and unstructured data in legacy systems;
• Semantic Technology for Knowledge
Management;
• Business Process Management;
• Ontology Engineering:
knowledge acquisition, ontology creation and management (e.g. evolution,
evaluation);
• Semantic Web for e-Business, e-Health, e-Government,
Multimedia, Bio-Pharmacy;
• Semantic Interoperability in Data and Services
for the Enterprise;
• Semantic Web Services Tools and Applications;
•
Semantic Mining for Business Intelligence;
• Semantic Searching, Querying,
Navigation and Browsing;
• Semantic Annotation of Data, Resources and
Services.
Contributions will be reviewed by the organization committee
with advice from the ESTC Program Advisory Board.
