** apologies if you get multiple copies of this message ** The deadline for full paper, short paper, and Scripting Challenge submissions to the 3rd Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web is approaching (30th March). Submissions can be made via the conference submission system linked from <http://semanticscripting.org/SFSW2007/> Update: Danny Ayers will give an invited talk at SFSW07 about "Two Webs!" ------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------- 3rd Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web http://www.semanticscripting.org/SFSW2007/ co-located with 4th European Semantic Web Conference June 6 or 7 2007, Innsbruck, Austria ------------------------------------------------------- Scripting languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, JSP and ActionScript are playing a central role in current development towards flexible, lightweight web applications following the AJAX and REST design paradigms. These languages are the tools of a generation of web programmers who use them to quickly create server and client-side web applications. Many deployed Semantic Web applications from the FOAF, RSS/ATOM, blog and wiki communities, as well as many innovative mashups from the Web 2.0 and Open Data movements are using scripting languages and it is likely that the process of RDF-izing existing database-backed websites, wikis, weblogs and CMS will largely rely on scripting languages. The workshop aims to bring together developers of the RDF base infrastructure for scripting languages with practitioners building applications using these languages. Last years Scripting for the Semantic Web workshop in Budva, Montenegro focused on giving an overview about the support for Semantic Web technologies within scripting languages. The special focus of this year's workshop is the role of scripting languages in the process of populating the Web with linked RDF data as well as to showcase innovative scripting applications that consume RDF data from the Web. The second focus of the workshop is to show how Web 2.0 applications and mashups can benefit from Semantic Web technologies. The workshop will include a scripting challenge (conducted for the 2nd time) which will award a prize to the most innovative scripting application. INVITED TALK Danny Ayers will give an invited talk at SFSW07 about "Two Webs!" TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Infrastructure * Semantic Web frameworks and APIs for scripting languages * RDF repositories and query languages implemented using scripting language= s * Reasoning engines implemented using scripting languages * Semantic Web publishing and data syndication frameworks * Approaches to crawling Web data and querying distributed data on the Web Applications * Semantic Web applications using scripting languages * Approaches to RDF-izing existing applications, such as RDFa and GRDDL * Mashups that provide RDF views on Web 2.0 data sources such as Google, Yahoo, Amazon or eBay * Wikis, weblogs and data syndication systems using RDF * Approaches (e.g. RDFa, microformats, GRDDL) to RDF-izing existing applica= tions * Scripting applications for visualizing Web data. * Semantic Web Mining and Social Network Analysis * Mashups that demonstrate the novel capabilities of Semantic Web technolog= ies Conceptual * Rapid development techniques for the Semantic Web * Employment of scripting language characteristics for Semantic Web develop= ment * Scalability and benchmarks of Semantic Web scripting applications Scripting Challenge The workshop includes a scripting challenge which will award a prize (an Apple iPod Video or alternatively Euro 200 cash) to the most innovative small scripting application or mashup. The application must be implemented using a scripting language and Semantic Web technologies. It should access, visualize or combine information from different sources in new unforeseen ways. Authors of Scripting Challenge submissions are not required to attend the workshop personally.
