CALL FOR PAPERS
There has been an exponential growth and availability of data, both structured and unstructured. Massive amounts of data are available to be harvested for competitive business advantage, government policies, and new insights into a broad array of applications (including healthcare, biomedicine, energy, smart cities, genomics, transportation, etc.). Yet, most of this data is inaccessible to users, as we need technology and tools to find, transform, analyze, and visualize data in order to make it consumable for decision-making. Meaningful data integration in a schema-less, and complex Big Data world of databases on the web is a big open challenge. Semantic computing is being used in the area of data integration. The Linked Open Data (LOD) community effort is an initiative that has led to huge data space in the form of triples. Linked data is the method of connecting and publishing related structured data on the web. LOD can be used in a number of interesting and useful Web and mobile applications. The focus of this workshop is on recent advances in Semantic computing approaches for data integration and quality.
