Call for Papers
--------------------
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion of trends, research issues and practical experiences on the role of CBR in reasoning with web-related experiential content. For this purpose, the workshop is not intended to have a mini-conference format of paper presentations, but a structure of activities that helps debate and interaction in order to elucidate the main bottlenecks and challenges as well as the more promising research lines for applying CBR on web-related experiential content. Therefore, the workshop will consist of panels and presentations of complete research, ongoing research and position papers.
Topics will include, but not be limited to, the following:
• How to express experiences
• How to analyze and use people’s web content
• How to develop and use folksonomies
• How to integrate ontologies and domain knowledge
• How to capture and exploit user interaction for web search and browsing
• How to express a user’s needs for other people’s experiences
• How to capture and exploit the experiential content in social software technologies
Submissions which are responses to the WebCBR Challenge (http://www.comp.dit.ie/aigroup/?page_id=549) are very welcome.
