Once instrumented by experts through very simple initialization, the method is capable of finding emerging entities; we propose a mixed syntactic + semantic method.

Trends in Web engineering: my 4 takes from ICWE 2012

At this point of the year, just before vacation time, it makes sense to me to think to Web Engineering practices at large and draw some trends and outlook for the field after this year.As a PC chair of ICWE 2012 (International Conference on Web Engineering), this year I can claim I had a privileged view over … Continue reading Trends in Web engineering: my 4 takes from ICWE 2012

ExploreWeb workshop on exploration of (Semantic) Web data at ICWE 2011

Together with Piero Fraternali and Daniel Schwabe I organized a workshop at ICWE 2011 on on Search, Exploration and Navigation of Web Data Sources, named ExploreWeb 2011.It was a new challenge for us, because it was at its first edition, but I can say it has been a quite successful event.We got 12 submissions and … Continue reading ExploreWeb workshop on exploration of (Semantic) Web data at ICWE 2011
