Workshop at the 7th International Conference on Terminology and Knowledge  
Engineering

Topic 
 
The discussions related to, and developments of, Semantic Web technologies  
indicate that there is an increasing interest in semantic description and  
structuring of content. The key applications of the technologies are in 
the areas information retrieval (e.g. Semantic Web), document abstraction, 
topic detection, and automatic classification. 
 
Here, the term semantic indexing should be understood as an attempt to 
offer solutions to all problems related to the semantic description of 
documents, comprising the automatic creation of meta data and semantic 
mark-ups. This requires new approaches to indexing and abstracting that 
can greatly benefit from terminological methods, particularly from the 
area of term extraction.  
The use of existing terminology resources should also be considered. 
 
Therefore, the main focus of the workshop will be to bridge the gap 
between classic information retrieval and terminological methods in order 
to improve semantic indexing. 
We will like to welcome contributions on metadata generation and automatic  
indexing based either on terminological or information retrieval methods 
and techniques. We equally encourage contributions in the areas of 
evaluation and practical applications. 
 
 
 
Areas of interest 
 
We invite submissions of papers and presentations on all kinds of methods 
or applications related to automatic indexing, terminology extraction and  
metadata generation, including the following topics: 
 
* Advanced indexing techniques like LSI (latent semantic indexing),  
hierarchical indexing etc. 
* Methods for metadata generation: term extraction and/or classification  
approaches 
* Ideas on semantic mark-up (and, within that area, possibly on 
information extraction) 
* Practical experiences with systems that incorporate one of these methods 
* Evaluation or comparison of one or more of these methods 
* Any standardization efforts in that area 
 
 
 
Format for abstract submission 
 
Abstracts of papers for oral presentations should consist of 500-700 words 
and be emailed to witschel@informatik.uni-leipzig.de. They will be 
reviewed by the workshop's organizing committee.  
 
Final papers will have to be completely compliant with TKE guidelines with  
respect to both formatting and size (please use TKE's Word template and  
follow any guidelines). See 
http://uk.cbs.dk/konferencer/tke2005/menu/call_for_papers_workshops for 
these guidelines.
