Dear data and API enthusiasts, Do you have a great idea that combines Linked Data and APIs? Then you should consider submitting to the SALAD EWSC2013 workshop.
We look forward to your creative work on Linked Data and APIs! Questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us! The workshop takes places on May 26 in Montpelier, France featuring an intriguing keynote “Autonomous Agents on the Web: Beyond Linking and Meaning” by Mike Amundsen. See you in Montpelier! The SALAD2013 team Services and Applications over Linked APIs and Data (ESWC workshop) http://salad2013.linkedservices.org/ SALAD ingredients Who? people from the Semantic Web, Web services, and REST communities What? novel ideas, concepts, and applications that combine Linked Data and Web APIs / services When? ESWC workshop on May 26, 2013 – submission deadline: March 4, 2013 How? an interactive workshop with lots of discussion, accepted paper presentations and keynote speaker Mike Amundsen (http://amundsen.com/blog/) Where? Montpellier, France at the ESWC conference (http://2013.eswc-conferences.org/) ⚖ Recipe Current developments on the Web have been marked by the increased use and popularity of Linked Data and Web APIs. However, these two technologies remain mostly disjunct in terms of developing solutions and applications in an integrated way. Therefore, we aim to explore the possibilities of facilitating a better integration of Web APIs and Linked Data, thus enabling the harvesting and provisioning of data through applications and services on the Web. In particular, we focus on investigating how resources exposed via Web APIs can be used together with Web semantic data, as means for enabling a shared use and providing a basis for developing rich applications on top. ✎ Shopping list The main goal of this workshop is to explore the possibilities of enabling a more integrated and automated use of Web APIs, given the context of the growing importance of Linked Data and applications, benefiting from the available resources. Relevant topics include: - integrated use of Linked Data and Web APIs - moving from individual APIs and data sets towards integrated solutions - differences and parallels between Linked Data and Web APIs - semantically discovering, searching, and browsing Web APIs - describing Web APIs and Linked Data - intelligent clients for Linked Data and APIs - methods for automatically dealing with failures in Web APIs - approaches for the creation of Web API directories The above list is not exhaustive and we therefore actively encourage participants to be creative. A final goal is to provide future initiatives with the devised ideas and visions to stimulate innovation in this research area. ♨ Preparation instructions Would you like to show your work at the SALAD workshop?
