Dear all, (apologies for cross-posting)<br>
with the almost finished standardization of the ITS 2.0 (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/">http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/</a>),
we are also close to provide a complete NIF 2.0 specification.<br>
WS 1 is a more general tutorial held in conjunction with the LSWT
and WS 2 is a more specialized workshop with developers and expert
discussions and coding. While the former is for teaching and
dissemination the latter is for advancing NIF and NER benchmarking
and community meet and greet. <br>
<br>
<br>
<b>WS 1, 24.9.2013, Leipzig: Content Analysis and the Semantic Web
(Tutorial)</b><br>
held in conjunction with the Leipziger Semantic Web Tag

<b>WS 2, 9.10.2013, Prague: NIF workshop: An open benchmark for
Wikipedia-Based NER</b><br>
held in conjunction with the LOD2 plenary meeting (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lod2.eu">http://lod2.eu</a>)<br>
<br>
The NLP Interchange Format (NIF) 2.0 is currently created and is <a
href="http://persistence.uni-leipzig.org/nlp2rdf/">taking shape</a>[1].
One large topic is to create interoperable Named Entity Recognition
and Linking tools and corpora to ease the engineering burden, when
benchmarking such systems. This workshop is a developer meeting to
talk about:
<ul>
<li>NIF & NER: how currently NIF meets the needs of the NER
community, and what is missing? Is it feasible to create a
universal best practice?</li>
<li>NIF & GATE: whether and how can NIF be incorporated in
GATE?</li>
<li>NIF & GATE NER eval framework: brainstorming on ideas for
future research on how multilingual NER tools can be evaluated
with support of GATE, DBpedia and possibly NIF.</li>
</ul>
