Aims and Scope
=======================
Nowadays, Semantic Web applications have been used in a broad spectrum of
domains such as e-commerce, geography, biology, or the public sector. With
the development of semantic technologies, a huge amount of data is being
published on the Semantic Web. The published data are evolving into the
”Web of Data” that is available on web-scale for retrieval and reuse of
information. Considering the significant growth of data on the Semantic
Web, one of the key challenges is the management of data quality in the
Semantic Web. Moreover, the Semantic Web has brought up new technologies
that may be useful to improve data quality management in information
systems.

Over the last decade, data quality has become a critical factor to the
success of organizations. Numerous business initiatives have been delayed
or even cancelled due to poor data quality. Analogous to data in
information systems, Semantic Web data also suffers from quality problems
such as missing or false RDF data. In order to raise the level of trust in
the Semantic Web data, it is valuable to investigate data quality issues
in the context of the Semantic Web. Semantic technologies may provide new
solution options for data quality management. Therefore we believe that in
addition to applying previous data quality research on Semantic Web, there
are opportunities of finding new data quality models, frameworks,
methodologies, and applications by using semantic technologies.

The aim of this workshop is to bring the Semantic Web and data quality
research communities together and identify new innovative possibilities
for addressing data quality issues with semantic technologies. Moreover,
we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results,
case studies, best practices, evaluation techniques, and implementation
tools that are related to data quality management within Semantic Web.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list:
==================
    Data quality management approaches in Semantic Web
    Ontology-based data quality management
    Quality of Linked Data
    Semantic data integration
    Data cleansing in Semantic Web
    Natural language processing for data quality management
    Provenance-aware data quality
    SPARQL and data quality assessment
    Measuring data quality with semantic technologies
    Improving quality of RDF data
    Data governance for Semantic Web
    Semantic data quality model and application
    Information value in Semantic Web
    Semantic Web applications for data quality management
    Frameworks that assess, analyze, and improve semantic data quality
