********************************************************************************* (02)
The International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP) provides a forum that
brings together members of diverse research communities who are interested in
efficiently capturing knowledge from a vast range of sources, including human
experts, and in creating representations that can be useful for building
knowledge-intensive services in a variety of fields, such as the semantic web,
knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent
information integration, and so on. The focus of the 7th edition of K-CAP will
be on “Knowledge Capture in the Age of Massive Web Data”. Besides a research
and an application track, K-CAP will host a number of workshops and tutorials
on topics related to the theme of the conference. K-CAP workshops provide an
informal setting where the participants have the opportunity to discuss
specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of
ideas. Our aim for the workshop program is to promote and collect
multidisciplinary research directions that contribute to knowledge capture from
a variety of sources. K-CAP Tutorials enable attendees to fully appreciate
current issues, main schools of thought, and possible application areas. (03)
