The workshops for SEMANTiCS 2016 will be held before and after the core conference programme at September 12th and 15th. We recommend attending SEMANTiCS main conference as well.
All workshops are free and there is no cost for attending. Coffee and some cakes are included. On campus there are several possibilities to have lunch during the break on own costs. Free registration is mandatory as space is very limited. Given beginning and end times are preliminary.

FREME: Services for Multilingual Enrichment of Digital Content
FREME is a framework for multilingual and semantic enrichment of digital content which provides the basis for semantic and multilingual processing of digital content with real-world scenarios. In this tutorial, we guide you through the framework and e-services design and architecture, and provide the basis for semantic and multilingual processing of digital content with real-world scenarios.

The goal of the workshop is to present the approaches we (Semantic Web Company and University of Sheffield) use to simplify publishing of Linked Data from tabular data by using tools for (semi)automatic conversion of tabular data to Linked Data. We would like to discuss the issues/lessons learned we have so far, present the evaluations of such tools, and future directions in that area, etc.

The Data Quality Tutorial tries to provide a good overview of how Data Quality can be handled in practice, especially in the case of RDF and Linked Data. The tutorial is split in three thematic groups: a) Existing & emerging technologies, b) Data Quality from the industry perspective and c) (applied) research approaches for tackling quality
Hosted by: Dimitris Kontokostas and Helmut Nagy

This half-day workshop aims at exploring emerging research in the areas of semantic change and evolving semantics. Semantics differ across contexts, domains, communities and time. This has implications for communication, terminology, access to and exchange of information, problem-solving and construction of knowledge. Where there is interaction and feedback, this effect is mitigated, as it is possible to settle on a shared understanding; in contrast, the effect is particularly pronounced in asynchronous and static information. This problem is shared across many domains; some examples of areas in which the effect is particularly pronounced include cultural heritage, data curation, digital preservation, and knowledge management. One practical example is the need to respond to semantic change in ontology curation and engineering; another is the capture and treatment of context in search indexing and ranking. In this workshop we will focus on semantic change in these domains and closely aligned areas. As such, we expect the workshop to be of interest to researchers with an interest in combining techniques to address evolving semantics. We are therefore seeking expressions of interest in the workshop intended to explore this area and to collect together a series of perspectives on the theory and relevance of semantic change across contexts and disciplines.
