  • 5th International Workshop on
    Linked Web Data Management


About

One Day of Inspiration!

March 2015, Brussels

The fifth edition of the International Workshop on Linked Web Data Management (LWDM) maintains the same goal of the previous editions, aiming at stimulating participants to discuss about data management issues related to the Linked Data and the relationships with other Semantic Web technologies, and at the same time proposes a glance at new issues.

The Vision

The joint application of Data Management and Semantic Web competencies, through the design of new models, languages and tools, has turned out to be very useful to enable the use of the Web as a huge, interlinked, dynamic repository of linked resources.

Meeting

The LWDM Workshop invites researchers, engineers, service developers to present their research and work in the field of Linked Data. Papers may deal with methods, models, case studies, practical experiences and technologies and also work in progress solutions.

Co-Located Workshop

This year the LWDM workshop will be co-organized with the Fourth International Workshop on Querying Graph Structured Data (GraphQ 2015)

Call for Papers

Submission Instructions

  • Searching and Ranking Linked Data
  • Reasoning paradigms for Linked Data
  • Rule interchange formats and rule markup languages
  • User-friendly interfaces to query and reason on the Web
  • Ranked Keyword search on Semantic Web

Engineering Linked Web Systems

  • Adaptive Web systems and applications
  • Semantic Web Services and Linked Data services

  • Browsing and visualization of Linked Data on the Web
  • Lightweight composition or mashup of Linked Data
  • Linked Data and P2P systems
  • Enterprise interoperability and Linked Data
  • Linked Data and Big Data issues
  • Linked Data applications for real case scenarios
  • Linked Data and Web 2.0 applications
  • Linked Data and social Web applications
Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts, neither submitted nor accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference or journal. Papers must be written in English, and formatted using the ACM double-column format. Authors are invited to send their manuscripts as an attachment (PDF/PS format) by using the EasyChair system (http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lwdm2015). They have to indicate authors' names and affiliations. Papers cannot exceed 8 pages in length. Nevertheless, authors are allowed to include extra material beyond the 8 pages as a clearly marked appendix, which reviewers are not obliged to read but could read if they feel it is useful.
Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed by at least three members of the current program committee and reviews will be returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices and the paper should be intelligible without them.

Important Dates:

Abstract Research Paper submission: December 28th, 2014 [EXTENDED]
Research and Short Paper submission: December 28th, 2014 [EXTENDED]
Author notification: January 23rd, 2015
Camera-ready paper submission: January 30th, 2015
Workshop date: March 27th, 2015

All deadlines close at 23:59 (11:59pm) Hawaii time.

Venue

Workshop Will Be Held At

Royal Academy Palace

The Conference will take place at Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (www.kvab.be), rue Ducale 1 1000 Brussels.

The KVAB is the Academy of Flanders, a learned society founded in 1772. Entering the societal debate on scientific and artistic topics in a neutral and interdisciplinary way is the main task of the Academy.

Getting Here

Air Travel

There are many direct flights and connecting flights that will reach Brussels Airport from all over the world. Major hubs that connect to Brussels are London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. From there is it only about 1 hour to reach Brussels by air. A small number of budget airlines also have international flights from Central Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean which make air travel more affordable from those departure points.

By Train

Brussels is easily accessible by train. Domestic trains are nationally operated by SNCB and runs through three main train stations in Brussels (Bruxelles-Nord, Bruxelles-Central and Bruxelles-Midi). It will take you to all the major cities in Belgium. For international travel there are high-speed trains operated by Eurostar and Thalys that depart from the TGV platform at Bruxelles-Midi station to a variety of destinations across Europe including Paris (1 hour 30 minutes) and London (1 hour 50 minutes).

Travel Notes

Visa requirements vary for nationals of different countries and states. It will pay to check the Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs Belgium website for more details of the type of visa you may need to apply for. Generally, nationals from countries of the European Economic Area (EEA) can enter and exit without any visa requirements. All other countries, unless otherwise exempt, need to apply for short-visit visas such as the Schengen Visa.
