OVERVIEW
========
IESD・3 will continue to provide a forum to discuss approaches for
exploring semantic data following stimulating IESD 2012 workshop at
EKAW 2012. Semantic data is available widely and semantic data
exploration is becoming a key activity in a range of application
domains, such as government organisations, education, life science,
cultural heritage, and media. Several novel interfaces and interaction
means for exploration of semantic data are being proposed, for example
semantic data browsers, ontology/content visualisation environments
and semantic wikis. Although on the rise, the current solutions are
still maturing and need to take into account human factors to make
exploration intuitive or employ necessary computational models to aid
the intuitiveness and improve the effectiveness of exploration tasks.
Lessons also can be learned from the commonalities and differences in
exploration requirements between different domains. Hence, greater
benefits can be achieved by bringing together expertise from different
communities, including HCI, Semantic Web, and personalisation with the
potential application domain demands.

Time is ripe to bring together the different disciplines related to
semantic data exploration (semantic technologies, intelligent user
interfaces, adaptation and personalisation, visualisation) and form
an international community to identify the major challenges and
research directions. The workshop is intended to make the first step
in shaping such community and providing a forum that focuses on
semantic data exploration and enables:

- sharing techniques and experience
- identifying potential domains and application areas
- designing and reflecting on evaluation studies
- identifying future research directions

IESD・3 will bring together different disciplines related to semantic
data exploration and form an international community to identify the
major challenges and research directions.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================
IESD'13 aims to create a forum for academic and industrial researchers
and practitioners to discuss methods and techniques for intelligent
exploration of semantic data from three angles:

- Computational models:
methods and techniques for analysing semantic data to discover
connections (e.g. relatedness, similarity, complementarity,
contradictions, and causality), entity and ontology summarisation
methods, graph exploration, visualisation and navigation,
user/context modelling, adaptation and personalisation, feedback
and prompts.

- Human factors:
key human factors that impact the exploration of large interconnected
complex data; effective interaction environments to help users in
discovering connections and making sense of large volumes of
structured and unstructured heterogeneous data (including large
ontologies, Linked Data, semantically augmented corpus,
semantic-enriched social data); comparison of different approaches to
help users in a manner that does not overwhelm or confuse, intuitive
ways to empower lay users of knowledge enriched technologies to
explore semantic data.

- Domains and applications:
information needs which require exploration of semantic data; domains
where semantic data is available and required for the practice
(e.g. medical, media, social web, public administration, education,
environmental/sustainability science); requirements gathering and
evaluation studies; lessons learnt.

PAPER SUBMISSION
================
We welcome the following types of contributions.

* Short (up to 6 pages) and full (up to 12 pages) research papers will be
reviewed by at least two independent referees.
* Demo papers (system demonstrations) and position statements should not
exceed 3 pages.

A more detailed Call for Papers and submission instructions can be found at
the IESD'13 website: http://imash.leeds.ac.uk/event/2013/submission.html

IESD CHALLENGE
==============
We have continued the IESD challenge following from the strong participation
we received for the first version of the workshop. The Challenge is designed
to attract participations from the Semantic Web community particularly
focusing on semantic data exploration.
The Challenge will be open to everyone from industry and academia.
