TAGS - Micro-Contributions by the Masses - The Future of Tagging and Microblogging
Website:
http://delicias.dia.fi.upm.es/tags2010/Theme and Objectives:
Tagging systems have received a lot of research interest by various disciplines, ranging from computer science to linguistics, sociology, and Semantic Web communities. Despite many significant contributions, however, there is still a limited understanding of key technological, social, and societal aspects of tagging, as well as a lack of a coherent model of the overall processes.
This workshop aims at advancing the state of research on tagging, in particular in the context of microblogging services, semantics, and social computing applications.
A particular emphasis of the workshop is on (1) the future of semantic tagging systems, (2) tagging in stream data and microblogging services (e.g. Twitter), and (3) challenges in evaluating tagging systems.
Submissions:
We invite the submission of research and position papers, demo descriptions,and posters. Relevant topic include but are not limited to:
- Perspectives on the future of tagging systems
- Extensions to the conceptual model of tagging
- Tagging, semantics, and linked data
- Tagging in enterprise environments
- Tagging systems versus controlled vocabularies
- Information retrieval in tagging systems
- Tagging and augmented reality
- Experiences and best practices for tagging
- Social aspects of tagging
- Dynamics and evolution in tagging systems
- Ontology learning from tagging systems
- Reference data and metrics for evaluating semantic tagging systems
- Social Network Analysis based on tagging systems
- Techniques for recommending tags or resources
- Differences between tagging in established Web 2.0 applications and tags in microblogging services or stream data
- Mining user profiles from tagging data
- Tagging people and identities
- Multi-lingual aspects of tagging systems
- User-feedback in tagging systems
Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. All reviews will be single-blind.
Submissions must be uploaded as PDF documents to the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tags2010
Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR WS Proceedings series, usually indexed by DBLP and other databases. All papers must be formatted using the Springer LNCS template, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Full papers should be 10 pages, short and position papers up to 5 pages, and poster and demos descriptions 2 pages in length.
For accepted submissions, at least one author must register for the workshop and the main conference in order for the paper to be included in the proceedings and to be scheduled in the workshop program.
