ICADIWT 2009::Second International Conference on the Application of Digital Information and Web Technologies

Traditionally, Data Management is essentially the process of managing data as a resource that is valuable to the society, organization or business. Data management is the development, execution and supervision of plans, policies, programs and practices that control, protect, deliver and enhance the value of data and information assets.

Recently, Semantic Web Technologies have been designed to extend the capabilities of information on the Web and enterprise systems to be associated in meaningful ways. The application of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards like XML, MPEG-7, RDF and OWL serve as foundations to advancing the adoption of semantic technologies.

The goal of this special session is to bring the academic and practitioners of the semantic web community and data management community together and provide a forum for multidisciplinary research opportunities, by focusing on how to apply the semantic technologies to modeling, annotation, storage, processing and management of different types of massive data.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to practical areas that span both semantic technologies and data management:

Semantics aware data management in the context of mobile, learning, enterprise, society, pervasive, ubiquitous, grid, cloud and web environments
Semantic multimedia metadata extraction
Annotation tools and methods for data semantics
Ontology generation/learning/reasoning
Semantic-based Internet data streaming and delivery
Audio, Video and Multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-7 and XMP) and Semantic Web
Semantics enabled text, web, audio, video applications (including annotation, browsing, storage, retrieval, and visualization)
Semantics enabled networking and middleware for multimedia applications
Semantic Search
Semantic Advertising and Marketing
Linked Data
Collaboration and Social Networks
Foundational Topics
Semantic Web and Web 3.0
Semantic Case Studies
Taxonomies
Semantic Integration
Data Integration and Mash-ups
Unstructured Information

Semantic Rules
Developing Semantic Applications
Semantics for Enterprise Information Management (EIM)
Knowledge Engineering and Management
Semantic SOA (Service Oriented Architectures)
and more
