                         CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Workshop on Semantic Web and Databases (SWDB'06)
                  http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/swdb06/

                      In conjunction with the
    22nd International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE'06)
                 April 3-7, 2006, Atlanta, GA, USA

====================================================================

General Information
-------------------
The Semantic Web is a key initiative being promoted by the W3C as the
next generation of the current Web. The objective of this workshop is
to discuss database and Web information system applications that use
semantics and to gain insight into the evolution of semantic Web
technology. In particular, this workshop will try to address how
ontologies and semantics can help in building better databases and Web
information systems. Furthermore evolving semantic information systems
still lack adequate indexing, query processing and optimization, and
benchmarking techniques. The experiences in building semi-structured
(e.g. XML) and distributed databases can help in developing better
techniques for storing and querying large-scale ontologies and meta-data
repositories. Thus, SWDB'06 workshop aims to promote a dialogue among
semantic Web and database communities with a common goal of building
better and more efficient Web information systems.

Topics
------
We encourage submissions on:
* research, focusing on foundational or technological aspects
* experience, describing industrial aspects

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Management of large scale ontologies
* Ontology-driven information systems
* Semantic interoperability
* Ontology-driven knowledge discovery
* Meta-data extraction and annotation
* Meta-data and ontology quality
* Benchmarks and evaluation
* Semantic search of large document collections
* Semantic multimedia information systems
* Query algebras for combined data and metadata queries
* Storage, querying, and integration of semantic Web services
* Semantic Web applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed) based on
 XML, RDF, OWL or various variants (RDF and OWL are W3C (World Wide
 Web Consortium) recommendations and recently being adopted by
 the industry as well) including:
- Personal information management,
- Bio-informatics and life sciences,
- Geographic information systems,
- Enterprise data integration etc.

Paper Submission
----------------
We invite the submission of short (up to four pages) and long papers
(up to eight pages). The papers MUST be formatted according to standard
IEEE format (style files are available at

The papers have to present original, English-language research
contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere must be submitted
