Despite recent advances in document corpus visualization research, there is still a lack of principled approaches which enable the users to personalize the exploratory analysis process. In this paper, we present IVEA (Information Visualization for Exploratory Document Collection Analysis), an innovative visualization tool which employs the PIMO (Personal Information Model) ontology to provide the knowledge workers with an interactive interface allowing them to browse for information in a personalized manner. Not only does the tool allow the users to integrate their personal knowledge into the exploration and analysis of a document collection, it also enables them to incrementally enrich their PIMO ontologies with new entities matching their evolving interests in the process, benefiting the users not only in their future experience with IVEA but also with other PIMO-based applications. The usability of the tool was preliminarily evaluated and the results were sufficiently encouraging to make it worthwhile to conduct a larger-scale usability study.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/27e0e8278793cb68e516ee4a564445bd9/siggisiggi2008-06-14T20:31:00+02:00mypub smilegroup conference 2008 semanticauthoring <span style="color:#555555;">Tudor <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Groza">Groza</a> and Siegfried <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Handschuh">Handschuh</a> and Knud <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Möller">M&#246;ller</a> and Stefan <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Decker">Decker</a> </span><em>Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference, </em><em>Berlin, Heidelberg, </em><em>Springer Verlag, </em><em>June2008. </em>Sat Jun 14 20:31:00 CEST 2008Berlin, HeidelbergProceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web ConferenceJuneLNCSKonneX-SALT: First Steps towards a Semantic Claim Federation Infrastructure2008mypub smilegroup conference 2008 semanticauthoring Dissemination, an important phase of scientific research, can be seen as a communication process between scientists. They expose and support their findings, while discussing claims stated in related scientific publications. However, due to the increasing number of publications, finding a starting point for such a discussion represents a real challenge. At same time, browsing can also be difficult since the communication spans across multiple publications on the open web. In this paper we propose a semantic claim federation infrastructure, named KonneX-SALT, as a solution for both issues mentioned above: (i) finding claims in scientific publications, and (ii) building the argumentation discourse network (ADN) for each claim and providing support for browsing it (in our case, by making use of transclusion). In addition, we join the web of "linked open data", by linking the metadata managed by KonneX-SALT with some of the known repositories of scientific publications.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/20702addea22ce6b1b90eccffef1b9397/siggisiggi2008-06-14T20:22:04+02:00semanticdesktop conference 2008 smilegroup <span style="color:#555555;">Simon <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Scerri">Scerri</a> and Siegfried <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Handschuh">Handschuh</a> and Stefan <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Decker">Decker</a> </span><em>Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference, </em><em>Berlin, Heidelberg, </em><em>Springer Verlag, </em><em>June2008. </em>Sat Jun 14 20:22:04 CEST 2008Berlin, HeidelbergProceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web ConferenceJuneLNCSSemantic Email as a communication medium for the Social Semantic Desktop2008semanticdesktop conference 2008 smilegroup In this paper, we introduce a formal email workflow model based on traditional email, which enables the user to define and execute ad-hoc workflows in an intuitive way. This model paves the way for semantic annotation of implicit, well-defined workflows, thus making them explicit and exposing the missing information in a machine processable way. Grounding this work within the Social Semantic Desktop [1] via appropriate ontologies means that this information can be exploited for the benefit of the user. This will have a direct impact on their personal information management - given email is not just a major channel of data exchange between desktops, but it also serves as a virtual working environment where people collaborate. Thus the presented workflow model will have a concrete manifestation in the creation, organization and exchange of semantic desktop data.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/211ce0807744b4a7c5de9d126ce18a082/terracesterraces2008-06-14T14:39:09+02:00scot tagging conference ontologies sioc folksonomies me stateoftheart moat <span style="color:#555555;">Hak Lae <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kim">Kim</a> and Alexandre <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Passant">Passant</a> and John <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Breslin">Breslin</a> and Simon <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Scerri">Scerri</a> and Stefan <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Decker">Decker</a> </span><em>Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing, </em><em>082008. </em>Sat Jun 14 14:39:09 CEST 2008Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing08Review and Alignmnet of Tag Ontologies for Semantically-Linked Data in Collaborative Tagging Spaces2008scot tagging conference ontologies sioc folksonomies me stateoftheart moat http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/230b77bff2a3ac95e11c7c8c3bbe91077/anastlucanastluc2008-06-10T10:55:22+02:00conference ontologies data semanticweb Ontologies linking <span style="color:#555555;">Diego <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Calvanese">Calvanese</a> </span>(<em>2001</em>)Tue Jun 10 10:55:22 CEST 2008Linking Data to Ontologies2001conference ontologies data semanticweb Ontologies linking May08http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/26b48c789c14446bde7b7094181698173/acfacf2008-06-01T16:51:41+02:00magazine advertising FIPP Chinese_media conference <span style="color:#555555;">Mauro <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Marescialli">Marescialli</a> </span><em>danwei.org</em><em>June 12, 2007 2:45 PM20070612. </em>Sun Jun 01 16:51:41 CEST 2008danwei.orgJune 12, 2007 2:45 PMFIPPA look at the status of magazine publishing in China20070612magazine advertising FIPP Chinese_media conference Last May China hosted the 36th FIPP World Magazine Conference in Beijing.

On the agenda are deeper cooperation, closer dialogue, and how to present China to the world. Guan Xin has this story. Delegates from more than 41 Chinese-language TV media outlets from 22 countries and regions around the world have participated in the conference. They discussed how to improve their work and better introduce China to the world, especially with the advent of the Beijing Olympics. Delegates agreed to cooperate more to increase their global influence. They suggested establishing a regular dialogue mechanism to facilitate that cooperation. Huang Jieping, Board Chairman, World Today TV Corp., said, "The Beijing Olympics is the best opportunity. When the whole world has its eyes on China, we can take advantage of the opportunity to introduce the real China." Over the past two years, overseas Chinese-language TV media have broadcast more than 3-thousand news and feature programs on the lives of overseas Chinese people. They have also taken an active part in reporting the important events in China today. The 3-day conference concludes on Friday. http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2b681dfd2ce1c25a09eb6cda48be12eef/aschmidtaschmidt2008-05-13T10:21:59+02:00lip context lang:en ipe conference fzi ontology aps <span style="color:#555555;">Andreas <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Schmidt">Schmidt</a> </span><em>International Conference on Ontologies, Databases and Applications of SEmantics (ODBASE 2006), On the Move Federated Conferences (OTM 2006), Montpellier, </em><em>volume4275ofLecture Notes in Computer Science, </em><em>page995-1011. </em><em>Springer, </em>(<em>2006</em>)Tue May 13 10:21:59 CEST 2008International Conference on Ontologies, Databases and Applications of SEmantics (ODBASE 2006), On the Move Federated Conferences (OTM 2006), Montpellier995-1011Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceOntology-Based User Context Management: The Challenges of Imperfection and Dynamics42752006lip context lang:en ipe conference fzi ontology aps http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/28602ee1e1d1d870d9135938a8841b7b2/aschmidtaschmidt2008-04-25T14:23:48+02:00fzi dyslexia ontology ipe agentdysl elearning conference adaptive lang:en aps <span style="color:#555555;">Paraskevi <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Tzouveli">Tzouveli</a> and Andreas <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Schmidt">Schmidt</a> and Michael <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Schneider">Schneider</a> and Antonis <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Symvonis">Symvonis</a> and Stefanos <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kollias">Kollias</a> </span><em>IEEE Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT 08), </em>(<em>2008</em>)Fri Apr 25 14:23:48 CEST 2008IEEE Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT 08)Adaptive Reading Assistance for the Inclusion of Learners with Dyslexia2008fzi dyslexia ontology ipe agentdysl elearning conference adaptive lang:en aps Dyslexia is a major barrier to success in education and later on the job as reading skills are fundamental for personal competence development. Children with dyslexia have special learning needs (e.g., more teacher support), which currently only specialized institutions can provide. However, this takes children out of their peer group and causes social problems. On the other side, there is general-purpose reading support software, which is not geared towards children with dyslexia as they lack personalization. AGENT-DYSL brings together speech and image recognition as well as semantic technologies to build a truly adaptive reading support system for children with dyslexia.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/258e7df8f8dfc868ff5f75080fd993a38/aschmidtaschmidt2008-04-25T12:38:00+02:00conference ontology_maturing lang:en fzi competence folksonomy aps ipe competence_management <span style="color:#555555;">Simone <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Braun">Braun</a> and Andreas <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Schmidt">Schmidt</a> </span><em>8th International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems (COOP '08), Carry-le-Rouet, France, May 20-23, 2008, </em>(<em>2008</em>)Fri Apr 25 12:38:00 CEST 20088th International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems (COOP '08), Carry-le-Rouet, France, May 20-23, 2008People Tagging & Ontology Maturing: Towards Collaborative Competence Management2008conference ontology_maturing lang:en fzi competence folksonomy aps ipe competence_management Competence Management approaches, aiming at making transparent individual competencies and their relationship to organizational goals, suggest promising instruments for more effective resource allocation, knowledge management, learning support, and human resource development in general. However, especially on the level of individual employees, such approaches have so far not been able to show sustainable success on a larger scale. Piloting applications like expert finders have often failed in the long run because of incomplete and outdated data, apart from social and organizational barriers. This affects both competency profiles of the individual employee and non-adequate and often also outdated competency catalogs used as a vocabulary for the profiles. To overcome these problems, we propose a collaborative competence management approach. In this approach, we combine Web 2.0-style bottom-up processes with organizational top-down processes: Web 2.0 oriented bottom-up processes allow every employee to participate and contribute with low usage barriers; i.e. by tagging colleagues; the organizational processes take up and guide these bottom-up developments towards organizational goals. Key idea is that we cannot do competence management completely without an agreed vocabulary (or ontology), i.e. the competency catalog, but we have to make the process of evolving this catalog more collaborative and embedded into its actual usage (e.g., while tagging other employees). Likewise, we do not conceive competency profiles as self-descriptions, but rather as results of collective judgments of others. We approached this problem as a collaborative ontology construction problem of which the conceptual foundation is the Ontology Maturing Process Model. In order to realize the Ontology Maturing Process Model for competence management, we have built the AJAX-based semantic social bookmarking application SOBOLEO that offers task-embedded competence ontology development and an easy-to-use interface.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2e1e686f83804ce39325b1fb2dc9684a4/acfacf2008-03-30T06:05:13+02:00conference public_relations PR <span style="color:#555555;">Marcia Watson <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/DiStaso">DiStaso</a> (eds.). </span><em>Miami, </em><em>Institute for PR, </em><em>Institute for Public Relations, </em><em>March2006. </em>Sun Mar 30 06:05:13 CEST 2008MiamiMarchRoles and scopes of public relations2006conference public_relations PR
