Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Semantic Systems

Abstract

This volume contains the proceedings of the I-SEMANTICS 2011. I-SEMANTICS offers a forum for the exchange of latest scientific results in semantic systems and complements these topics with new research challenges in the area of social software, semantic content engineering, logic programming and Semantic Web technologies. The conference is in its seventh year now and has developed into an internationally visible event. This year's I-SEMANTICS is complemented by the 6th AIS SigPrag International Pragmatic Web Conference Track, which explores the young but flourishing field of computational semiotics and pragmatics on the web. The co-location of the Pragmatic Web Conference fits perfectly into the concept of I-SEMANTICS, i.e. to bridge the gap between various research communities and traditions relevant to semantic systems and bring them closer to each other. The conference attracted leading researchers and practitioners who presented their ideas to more than 400 attendees. These attendees were provided with high-quality contributions reviewed by a program committee featuring renowned international experts on a broad range of knowledge management topics. A total of 20 high quality full papers and 9 short papers were accepted from 62 submissions for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
