3rd Workshop on Managing the Evolution and Preservation of the Data Web(MEPDaW 2017)
28—29 May 2017, Portoroz, Slovenia
Call for Papers:
This workshop aims at addressing the above mentioned challenges and issues by providing a forum for researchers and practitioners who apply linked data technologies to discuss, exchange and disseminate their work. More broadly, this forum will enable communities interested in data, knowledge and ontology dynamics to network and cross-fertilise.
Topics of Interest:
- Management of Data Versioning: Efficient representation and maintenance of data versions, high-level (semantic) change management (change representation, change detection), vertical and horizontal scalable versioning of Knowledge Bases, efficient indexing to resolve time-based queries, languages to query versioned data stores, benchmarking of versioning data stores, efficient versioned data access (retrieval, sharing, distribution, streaming);
- Reasoning of Evolving Knowledge: Evolving patterns extraction, reasoning for trend analysis, reasoning for knowledge shift detection; exploitation of reasoning results to recommendation systems;
The Visualization and Presentation of Evolving Knowledge: Browsing evolving knowledge, Visualizing trends, changes and paradigm shifts, Visual summarization of knowledge sub-domains, User interfaces for evolving knowledge presentation;
- Data Preservation: Digital preservation for linked data, Digital preservation for the Data Web, Dynamics of context or background (tacit) knowledge, design of evolution-aware Linked Data applications (for appraisal, storage management, interlinking, analysis);
- Data Quality and Provenance: Incremental quality assessment for evolving knowledge, Provenance in evolution;
Ontology Evolution and Concept Drift: Representation of evolving ontologies, Maven-like access of different versions of an ontology, concept drift representation, detection and prediction.
