Dear colleagues,

Let me draw your attention to the workshop on Surfacing the Deep and the Social Web (SDSW) at the renowned International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC), that will take place in October 2014, in Riva del Guarda, Trentino, Italy - see http://iswc2014.semanticweb.org

Important Dates
- Paper submissions until: July 7, 2014
- Author notifications: July 30, 2014
- Camera-ready proceedings: August 20, 2014


The simplicity with which users can publish content nowadays has made the Web the world's largest database. Keyword-based search has become the de-facto standard for information discovery in this ocean of data, mainly due to its simplicity that makes it attractive to technically novice users. To answer keyword queries, existing search engines rely on effective indexes of the content that allow them to return the documents that best match the user's search criteria. This generally leaves out the structure of the data, its semantic dimension, as well as the social aspects to which it may relate. We believe that, in order to exploit the full potential of the Web, structured and rich data will have to receive the same search and retrieve capabilities as the text data from Web documents. However, due to their highly structured nature, the rich semantics, and the data structures by which they are typically managed, a great deal of issues needs to be studied. As the problem is in general of a multifaceted nature, it requires synergies from many different disciplines.

Broad areas of interest for papers submitted to he workshop include, but are not limited to:
	- Semantic web, semantic similarity, semantic data management, semantic disambiguation, semantic indexing;
	- Social Web and social media;
	- Interface design, user interaction, natural language processing;
	- Data cleansing, data fusion, data quality, data integration, probabilistic data matching;
	- Benchmarking, ranking;
	- Artificial intelligence, machine learning;
	- Metadata management, schema matching;
	- Deep Web, provenance, information retrieval, database summarization
	- Context-aware web applications;
	- Knowledge / ontology self-management and evolution;
	- Semantic Web and emotional intelligence;
	- Enabling everything-as-a-user.

More information can be found at the workshop website at http://sdsw-at-iswc2014.ipn.pt (or at http://www.keystone-cost.eu/sdsw2014/ )

This workshop will also be a good opportunity to engage in fruitful networking with members of the COST Action KEYSTONE (http://www.keystone-cost.eu), which is dedicated to launching and establishing a cooperative network of researchers, practitioners, and application domain specialists working in fields related to semantic data management, the Semantic Web, information retrieval, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing, that coordinates collaboration among them to enable research activity and technology transfer in the area of keyword-based search over structured data sources.
You can also join the COST KEYSTONE network if you feel your research interests are aligned.

Looking forward to receiving your paper submissions.
