> === Workshop Topics ===
> 
> Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web
> (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki
> (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected,
> collaborativeness) technologies. Goals are diverse and include:
>  o  simple annotations of existing Wiki content;
>  o  tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more 
>formal structures;
>  o  full-fledged tools for ontology editing where the text is no longer in 
>the focus of the system.
> 
> In the future, Semantic Wiki systems might play an important role
> for "knowledge acquisition", enabling non-technical users to
> contribute to the Semantic Web.    (07)

>  o  Abstract submission
>     for papers, poster, demo, position papers:         7 March 2006

> === Call for Contributions ===
> 
> We invite submissions as full and short papers, as well as
> posters/demos. Papers should describe original, unpublished
> research and must not be under review by another conference,
> journal, or workshop. Authors of the highest quality contributions
> will be invited to present their work at the workshop (probably 20
> minutes). Since Semantic Wikis are a very practical topic, we are

>  o  Papers 5-15 pages, LNCS
>  o  Posters/Demos 2-5 pages, LNCS
>  o  Short/Position Papers: 2-5 pages, LNCS
