Scope of the Workshop
+++++++++++++++++++++
Semantic web environment has been evolving. Especially, collective intelligence is a key issue to
collaboratively share knowledge and even generate new knowledge. Many Web 2.0 platforms (e.g., blogs
and wikis) have been developed to exchange meaningful information and support user-centered tasks on a
variety of domains (e.g., e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government). Local knowledge should be
annotated into a large amount of contents including not only simple documents but also multimedia data.
For example, collaborative tagging (e.g., del.icio.us) can play an important role of knowledge (or
information) sharing between peoples on social networks.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas of knowledge and
intelligence, semantics, and grid computing to share their visions, research achievements and
solutions to real applications, to resolve the challenge issues and to establish worldwide cooperative
research and development.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Semantic Authoring, Annotation and Knowledge Markup (SAAKM 2007)
http://saakm2007.semanticauthoring.org/

co-located with the 4th International Conference on Knowledge Capture
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada October 28-31, 2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Capturing knowledge by using markup techniques and by supporting semantic
annotations is a major technique for creating metadata. It is beneficial
in a wide range of content-oriented intelligent applications.
One important application for instance is the Semantic Web. The research
about the WWW currently strives to augment syntactic information
already present in the Web by semantic metadata in order to achieve a
Semantic Web that human and software agents can understand. Here, one
of the most urgent challenges now is a knowledge-capturing problem,
i.e. how one may turn existing syntactic resources into knowledge
structures. A solution is to markup web documents in order to create
metadata on the web or to author new documents in a way that they
contain markup directly.

Another application is the indexing and searching of multimedia (and
multilingual) data. It is difficult to completely process the content of
multimedia data, even with technologies based on natural language
processing, image processing, machine vision and speech recognition.
Therefore, semantic annotation is one of the promising methodologies
