Natural Language Processing

Description


Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a key technology for the Semantic Web and important results such as entity linking, which enables the interoperability claim of the Semantic Web, are driven by NLP technologies. Similarly, in recent years the application of linked data technologies in the NLP and computational linguistics contexts, as exemplified by the growing linguistic linked open data cloud, has brought new tools to bear on tasks such as lexicography, under-resourced languages and research in the digital humanities. As such, we welcome papers that use ontologies and linked data technologies applied to NLP as well as NLP technologies applied to linked data and more in general to formal knowledge representation on the Semantic Web. We thus aim to further strengthen the interaction between these communities.
