CALL FOR PAPERS ================ International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Legal Documents (AI4LEGAL2020) In the context of the International Semantic Web Conference 2020 (ISWC 2020) Virtual Event November 2 or 3, 2020 http://ai.di.uoa.gr/#iswc20-workshop Legislation applies to every aspect of people’s living and evolves continuously building a huge network of interlinked legal documents. Therefore, it is important for a government to offer services that make legislation easily accessible to the citizens aiming at informing them, enabling them to defend their rights, or to use legislation as part of their job. It is equally important to have law professionals (lawyers, judges, etc.) access legislation in ways that allow them to do their job easily (e.g., they might need to be able to see the evolution of a law over time). Finally, in the age of the Web, it is important to enable software developers to develop applications for citizens and law professionals easily, by connecting the available laws with other kinds of government or private sector information. Towards this direction, there are already many countries in Europe and elsewhere that have computerized the legislative process by developing platforms for archiving legislation documents and offering on-line access to them using standards such as Akoma Ntoso (aka LegalDocML) which is an OASIS standard, the European standard CEN-MetaLex, the European Legislation Identifier, the European Case Law Identifier etc. There also private companies (e.g., ROSS Intelligence, LexisNexis, RAVEL, LexMachina etc.) that specialize on providing digital services for law, case law, compliance, contracts, etc. The vision of the AI4LEGAL2020 international workshop is to bring together Artificial Intelligence researchers and practitioners to work on the problem of digitization of legislation and legal documents in today’s interconnected world. Topics of Interest =================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Natural language processing techniques for legal documents -Legal knowledge graphs -Knowledge representation and reasoning techniques for legal documents -Explainable AI for legal documents -Linked data for legal documents -Machine learning techniques for legal documents -Scalable deep learning techniques for legal text analytics -Question answering for legal documents -Chatbots for legal documents -Language resources for digital legal document research and development -National or international initiatives and digital platforms for legislation -Multilingualism -Specific application areas (legislation, judicial decisions, case law, compliance, contracts) Submissions =========== Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of long or short papers. Long papers should be at most 16 pages including references. Short papers should be of at most 8 pages including references. All contributions should be prepared in PDF format and should be submitted through the workshop submission site. -All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ai4legal2020 -All submissions must be in English. -Submissions must be in PDF formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

CfP Deadline Extension : WOP2020@ISWC2020 Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns
by Lu Zhou 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

The deadline for the paper submission is now extended to September 2. The easychair submission link is <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2020#>. Authors of select papers will be also invited to contribute extended versions to a new book to be published by IOS Press. Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (11th edition) – WOP2020 will take place at the 19th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC2020, in Athens, Greece in November 2020 <https://iswc2020.semanticweb.org/>. WOP2020 will be **virtual**. Workshop Website: <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2020> Submission deadline (papers and patterns): June 26, 2020 September 2, 2020 4th Call for Papers: Deadline Extension --- We invite submissions to the 11th Workshop on Ontology Design and Patterns (WOP2020) to be held in conjunction with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) that will take place in Athens from Nov. 2 to 6, 2020. WOP2020 is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations, a poster session, and an interactive breakout discussion session. The workshop aims to discuss issues of quality in ontology design. In particular, it focuses on the role and use of ontology design patterns (ODPs) for data and knowledge engineering in the Semantic Web, as related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. The increased attention to ODPs in recent years through their interaction with emerging trends of Semantic Web such as knowledge graphs can be attributed to their benefit for knowledge engineers and Semantic Web developers. Such benefits come in the form of a direct link to requirements, reuse, guidance, and better communication. The workshop’s aim is to: 1) provide an arena for discussing patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, and 2) broaden the pattern community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. Topics --- We particularly welcome contributions on topics concerning the development of high-quality ontologies in general (with or without the help of ODPs) as well as studies and applications of ODPs for knowledge graph construction and maintenance. In addition, as usual, we also welcome pattern descriptions of all sorts, including patterns geared towards applications in specific domains such as geosciences, biomedical science, digital humanities, or e-commerce. The main topics of interest are: 1) Use of ontology design patterns for any kind of knowledge engineering, including – Pattern-based ontology design, conceptual modeling or knowledge engineering broadly – Use in knowledge graphs or linked data settings (including pattern-driven linking or data publishing) – Pattern-based information extraction, ontology learning, and relation to NLP – Use in streaming, ingesting or evolving knowledge – Use of patterns for ontology evaluation, quality assurance, ontology selection, integration or alignment – Pattern-based development of semantic applications – Reasoning with patterns (including automated reasoning, verification, or contextual reasoning) 2) Methods and tools for developing high-quality ontologies (with or without the help of patterns), including – Ontology engineering by domain experts – Quality attributes or metrics in ontologies and ontology engineering – Quality assurance approaches for ontology engineering 3) Development or analysis of ontology design patterns, including – Pattern extraction – Analyses of ontology design patterns or their uses – Antipatterns and their relations to ODPs 4) Development and use of patterns in specific domains, including – Date lakes, business intelligence, or Big Data integration – Geosciences, life sciences, engineering, digital humanities, cultural preservation – IoT, smart homes & cities, smart agriculture – Semantic technology including social networks, semantic wikis or blogs Submissions --- We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop, in one of three categories given below. All submissions are requested through EasyChair. 1) Research papers (maximum 15 pages LNCS style) presenting mature work and established results. 2) Short papers (maximum 5 pages LNCS style) presenting proposed research directions, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions. 3) Ontology Design Patterns (5-12 pages LNCS style) should solve a particular modeling problem, of relevance either to the broader ontology engineering community or to some specific knowledge domain, in a novel and reusable manner. Note that accepted pattern submissions are presented through a poster session. These must additionally be submitted through the ontologydesignpatterns.org community portal, as described on that page. Submissions should be made via <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2020#>. Detailed instructions can be found at the submission page <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2020/Submission>. Important Dates --- Papers submissions: June 26, 2020 September 2, 2020 Papers notifications: August 3, 2020 September 30, 2020 Camera-ready submissions: September 2, 2020 TBD Workshop will be held on November 2 or 3, 2020 Proceedings --- Accepted research papers and pattern descriptions will be published online as CEUR-Workshop Proceedings.

AI4LEGAL2020 - CFP
by Eleni Tsalapati 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

CALL FOR PAPERS ================ International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Legal Documents (AI4LEGAL2020) In the context of the International Semantic Web Conference 2020 (ISWC 2020) Virtual Event November 2 or 3, 2020 http://ai.di.uoa.gr/#iswc20-workshop Legislation applies to every aspect of people’s living and evolves continuously building a huge network of interlinked legal documents. Therefore, it is important for a government to offer services that make legislation easily accessible to the citizens aiming at informing them, enabling them to defend their rights, or to use legislation as part of their job. It is equally important to have law professionals (lawyers, judges, etc.) access legislation in ways that allow them to do their job easily (e.g., they might need to be able to see the evolution of a law over time). Finally, in the age of the Web, it is important to enable software developers to develop applications for citizens and law professionals easily, by connecting the available laws with other kinds of government or private sector information. Towards this direction, there are already many countries in Europe and elsewhere that have computerized the legislative process by developing platforms for archiving legislation documents and offering on-line access to them using standards such as Akoma Ntoso (aka LegalDocML) which is an OASIS standard, the European standard CEN-MetaLex, the European Legislation Identifier, the European Case Law Identifier etc. There also private companies (e.g., ROSS Intelligence, LexisNexis, RAVEL, LexMachina etc.) that specialize on providing digital services for law, case law, compliance, contracts, etc. The vision of the AI4LEGAL international workshop is to bring together Artificial Intelligence researchers and practitioners to work on the problem of digitization of legislation and legal documents in today’s interconnected world. Topics of Interest =================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Natural language processing techniques for legal documents -Legal knowledge graphs -Knowledge representation and reasoning techniques for legal documents -Explainable AI for legal documents -Linked data for legal documents -Machine learning techniques for legal documents -Scalable deep learning techniques for legal text analytics -Question answering for legal documents -Chatbots for legal documents -Language resources for digital legal document research and development -National or international initiatives and digital platforms for legislation -Multilingualism -Specific application areas (legislation, judicial decisions, case law, compliance, contracts) Submissions =========== Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of long or short papers. Long papers should be at most 16 pages including references. Short papers should be of at most 8 pages including references. All contributions should be prepared in PDF format and should be submitted through the workshop submission site. -All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ai4legal2020 -All submissions must be in English. -Submissions must be in PDF formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

CfP Deadline Extension : WOP2020@ISWC2020 Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns
by Lu Zhou 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

The deadline for the paper submission is now extended to August 17. The WOP website is currently experiencing technical difficulties. But we are working on it. If the website is inaccessible, and you would like to submit the paper, here is the submission link of easychair: <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2020#> Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (11th edition) – WOP2020 will take place at the 19th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC2020, in Athens, Greece in November 2020 <https://iswc2020.semanticweb.org/>. WOP2020 will be **virtual**. Workshop Website: <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2020> Submission deadline (papers and patterns): June 26, 2020 August 17, 2020 4th Call for Papers: Deadline Extension --- We invite submissions to the 11th Workshop on Ontology Design and Patterns (WOP2020) to be held in conjunction with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) that will take place in Athens from Nov. 2 to 6, 2020. WOP2020 is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations, a poster session, and an interactive breakout discussion session. The workshop aims to discuss issues of quality in ontology design. In particular, it focuses on the role and use of ontology design patterns (ODPs) for data and knowledge engineering in the Semantic Web, as related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org initiative. The increased attention to ODPs in recent years through their interaction with emerging trends of Semantic Web such as knowledge graphs can be attributed to their benefit for knowledge engineers and Semantic Web developers. Such benefits come in the form of a direct link to requirements, reuse, guidance, and better communication. The workshop’s aim is to: 1) provide an arena for discussing patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, and 2) broaden the pattern community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. Topics --- We particularly welcome contributions on topics concerning the development of high-quality ontologies in general (with or without the help of ODPs) as well as studies and applications of ODPs for knowledge graph construction and maintenance. In addition, as usual, we also welcome pattern descriptions of all sorts, including patterns geared towards applications in specific domains such as geosciences, biomedical science, digital humanities, or e-commerce. The main topics of interest are: 1) Use of ontology design patterns for any kind of knowledge engineering, including – Pattern-based ontology design, conceptual modeling or knowledge engineering broadly – Use in knowledge graphs or linked data settings (including pattern-driven linking or data publishing) – Pattern-based information extraction, ontology learning, and relation to NLP – Use in streaming, ingesting or evolving knowledge – Use of patterns for ontology evaluation, quality assurance, ontology selection, integration or alignment – Pattern-based development of semantic applications – Reasoning with patterns (including automated reasoning, verification, or contextual reasoning) 2) Methods and tools for developing high-quality ontologies (with or without the help of patterns), including – Ontology engineering by domain experts – Quality attributes or metrics in ontologies and ontology engineering – Quality assurance approaches for ontology engineering 3) Development or analysis of ontology design patterns, including – Pattern extraction – Analyses of ontology design patterns or their uses – Antipatterns and their relations to ODPs 4) Development and use of patterns in specific domains, including – Date lakes, business intelligence, or Big Data integration – Geosciences, life sciences, engineering, digital humanities, cultural preservation – IoT, smart homes & cities, smart agriculture – Semantic technology including social networks, semantic wikis or blogs Submissions --- We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop, in one of three categories given below. All submissions are requested through EasyChair. 1) Research papers (maximum 15 pages LNCS style) presenting mature work and established results. 2) Short papers (maximum 5 pages LNCS style) presenting proposed research directions, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions. 3) Ontology Design Patterns (5-12 pages LNCS style) should solve a particular modeling problem, of relevance either to the broader ontology engineering community or to some specific knowledge domain, in a novel and reusable manner. Note that accepted pattern submissions are presented through a poster session. These must additionally be submitted through the ontologydesignpatterns.org community portal, as described on that page. Submissions should be made via <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2020#>. Detailed instructions can be found at the submission page <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2020/Submission>. Important Dates --- Papers submissions: June 26, 2020 August 17, 2020 Papers notifications: August 3, 2020 September 11, 2020 Camera-ready submissions: September 2, 2020 September 21, 2020 Workshop will be held on November 2 or 3, 2020 Proceedings --- Accepted research papers and pattern descriptions will be published online as CEUR-Workshop Proceedings.
