====================================

 

Description

 

The goal of the FIRST workshop is to demonstrate the early adoption of
semantic technologies by enterprises, and to promote further technology
transfer from Semantic Web research to industry. 

It will bring industry and research together to present and discuss the pros
and cons of applying semantic technologies in business processes, not only
to identify how industrial requirements can be met, but also important
issues of technology maturity, accessibility, integration into existing
enterprise IT structures and maintenance throughout the entire ontology and
metadata lifecycle. 

 

Call for Submissions

 

We seek concrete reports of technology transfer to industry of Semantic Web
technologies. In particular, we invite industry representatives to report on
first experiences from the application and use of semantic technology within
business processes. 

The workshop provides an opportunity to inform the research community of
industrial requirements and gain feedback from technology developers. 

Workshop submissions will be electronic and should follow the ISWC
guidelines (PDF, formatting according to Springer guidelines, no more than
14 pages). Submissions can be made at
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ISWC2007. 

Papers will be published in an accompanying online proceedings as well as
hardcopy which will be available to all workshop attendees.
