The Third International Workshop on Semantic Web Information Management will be held from 12 to 16 June 2011 in Athens, Greece.
As the internet grows, it is becoming increasingly complex for humans to efficiently find and exploit the information. To help this situation, the idea of having a description of data organised in such a way as to be used by machines for automation, integration and reuse across various applications, has been promoted by a number of research fields.
The event will review the most recent data-centered solutions for the ‘semantic web’. The semantic web is a ‘web of data’ that enables machines to understand the semantics, or meaning, of information on the world wide web. This means extending the network of hyperlinked, human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other.
The conference programme will particularly focus on the synergies between the logical basis of the semantic web and the logical foundations of conceptual modeling. Current research and projects in the field will also be a focal point of discussions.
