About the Linked Open Data topic: Research and industrial application of Multilingual Web content (MLW), Linked Open Data (LOD) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) are becoming increasingly intertwined. The goal of the workshop is to bring together stakeholders in the areas of content creation, translation, and provision of content delivery infrastructures, researchers and key industrial contacts.

 

One of the major issues in the evolution of Linked (Open) Data is its lack of multilinguality. There is a strong separation between, on the one hand, terminology, lexical and language resources, and on the other, the technologies used for Linked Data. This gap makes it difficult to exploit any potential synergy among those approaches. This also makes it difficult to exploit the possibilities offered for Linked Data by Multilingual Web technologies. Removing silos and integrating these technologies is therefore an important goal, and is the main topic of this workshop.

 

About the MultilingualWeb-LT Requirements Gathering: The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group is gathering requirements to define meta-data for web content (mainly HTML5) and deep Web content, for example a CMS or XML files from which HTML pages are generated, that facilitates its interaction with multilingual technologies and localization processes. The group has come up with an inital list of requirements, including a list of proposed metadata items. During this workshop, we aim at getting detailed feedback about the requirements and the metadata items.

 

Different to previous MultilingualWeb workshops, this workshop has two specific foci, and aims at certain groups of participants, with the goal of producing concrete proposals about next steps in the two areas described above . While future MultilingualWeb workshops will continue the format of broad events and will aim again at a larger audience, attendees for this workshop are required to participate actively and will need to submit a position statement for the workshop registration. The workshop will be hosted by Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
