ACL 2004 WORKSHOP
RDF/RDFS and OWL in Language Technology: 4th Workshop on NLP and XML
(NLPXML-2004)
25 July 2004, Barcelona
In conjunction with the 42nd annual meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (http://www.acl2004.org)
Workshop home page:
http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~gwilcock/NLPXML-2004/
Overview
While XML is fully accepted within the NLP community as the main
standard for data representation, especially for purposes of
interchange and software interoperability, the use of Semantic Web
technologies--including RDF (Resource Definition Framework),
RDFS (RDF Schema), and OWL (Ontology Web Language)--for NLP
applications remains relatively limited. However, the combination
of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL provides an overall architecture for NLP
resources of all kinds whose implications are still being worked
out within the NLP community.
The goal of this workshop is two-fold: (1) to provide a forum for
presentation and discussion of practical applications of RDF, RDFS
and OWL in language technology (including resource and software
development, applications, tools, etc.); and (2) to clarify the
respective roles of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL in NLP applications and
resources, in relation to the growth of the Semantic Web.
NLPXML-2004 is intended not only for those already using
Semantic Web technologies, but also members of the NLP community
who seek a fuller understanding of the motivations and implications
of XML/RDF/RDFS/OWL, the Semantic Web, and related standards for
the field. Therefore, we plan to include at least one invited
presentation that covers in some depth the Semantic Web
technologies and attempts to identify the interactions among
various activities (resource creation and annotation, application
development, etc.) as well as the potential interactions between
the various Semantic Web layers in relation to language technology.
This workshop will be the fourth in a series, following on from the
first NLPXML Workshop held at NLPRS 2001 in Tokyo, the second
at COLING 2002 in Taipei, and the third at EACL 2003 in Budapest.
