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.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Broad areas of interest include, but are not limited to:</p><ul style="margin: 0px 0px 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: initial; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Semantic web, semantic similarity, semantic data management, semantic disambiguation, semantic indexing;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Social Web and social media;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Interface design, user interaction, natural language processing;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Data cleansing, data fusion, data quality, data integration, probabilistic data matching;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Benchmarking, ranking;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Artificial intelligence, machine learning;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Metadata management, schema matching;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Deep Web, provenance, information retrieval, database summarization</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Context-aware web applications;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Knowledge / ontology self-management and evolution;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Semantic Web and emotional intelligence;</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 2.571428571rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Enabling everything-as-a-user.</li></ul><ul style="margin: 0px 0px 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: initial; line-height: 24px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" class=""><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Submission Guidelines</strong></p><ul class=""><li class="">Papers should follow the LNCS format and should be no less than 15 pages and no more than 45.
