        Sundial Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA

        http://ic.arc.nasa.gov/projects/scisw2003/cfp.htm

        A workshop in conjunction with The Second International
                Semantic Web Conference

        Submission of papers: July 18, 2003

        Submission of camera-ready version: September 19, 2003
        Workshop: October 20, 2003

This one-day workshop aims at exploring the Semantic-Web requirements
for scientific communities. The particular focus is on methods for 
search and retrieval of scientific data that match the needs of domain 
scientists. In most scientific disciplines today, such as earth sciences, 
bio-informatics, environmental science, physical sciences, medical 
informatics and others, scientists access a number of online sources 
that provide information and services in that domain. Currently 
available methods and capabilities for searching, locating, retrieving, 
querying, and integrating scientific data from multiple online sources 
are inadequate for scientists who still use collections of stand-alone
