Workshop Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biodiversity deals with heterogeneous data and concepts generated from a large number of disciplines in order to build a coherent picture of the extent of life on earth. The presence of such a myriad of data resources makes integrative biodiversity research increasingly important,as well as challenging given the variety of ways in which data and information are produced and made available. The Semantic Web approach enhances data discoverability, sharing, interoperability and integration through a formalized conceptual environment providing common formats, standards and terminological resources. This workshop aims to bring together computer scientists and biologists, working on Semantic Web approaches for biodiversity, ecology and related areas such as plant sciences, agronomy, agro-ecology or citizen science related to biodiversity. The goal is to exchange experiences, build a state of the art of realizations and challenges, and reuse and adapt solutions that have been proposed in other domains. The workshop focuses on presenting challenging issues and solutions for the design of high quality biodiversity information systems leveraging Semantic Web techniques. Important Dates --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts deadline: 26 June 2020 Paper deadline: 3 July 2020 Notification of acceptance: 31 July 2020 Camera ready: 17 August 2020 Workshops date: 16 - 19 September 2020 Workshop Topics --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The workshop comprises, but is not strictly limited to, the following topics: Applications of Semantic Web technologies for biodiversity Semantic representation of biodiversity data Ontology (or semantic resource) development for biodiversity Semantic annotation of biodiversity data Semantic approaches for the discovery of biodiversity data Semantic support for scientific workflows Data provenance and reproducibility Data lifecycle management Knowledge extraction and text mining Ontology learning Standards for biodiversity Data Linked Open biodiversity Data Semantic data integration FAIR biodiversity data with semantics Interoperability of biodiversity and earth observation data Enhancement of machine learning approaches with Semantic Web technologies Application domains: Biodiversity and ecology Agronomy, agro-ecology, agro-biodiversity Plant sciences Citizen Science related to biodiversity and related fields Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in English. Submitted papers should not exceed 10/12 pages for regular papers, 6 pages for position papers.
