The 3rd Workshop on Semantic Web for Scientific Heritage will be held in
conjunction with the 14th ESWC 2017 Conference which takes place from
May 28th to June 1st in Portoroz, Slovenia. It is a continuation of the
SW4SH workshop series initiated at ESWC 2015 which aims to provide a
leading international and interdisciplinary forum for disseminating the
latest research in the field of Semantic Web for the preservation and
exploitation of our scientific heritage, the study of the history of
ideas and their transmission.
Classicists and historians are interested in developing textual
databases, in order to gather and explore large amounts of primary
source materials. For a long time, they mainly focused on text
digitization and markup. They only recently decided to try to explore
the possibility of transferring some analytical processes they
previously thought incompatible with automation to knowledge engineering
systems, thus taking advantage of the growing set of tools and
techniques based on the languages and standards of the semantic Web,
such as linked data, ontologies, and automated reasoning. The
iconographic data, which are also relevant in history of science and
arise similar problematic could be addressed as well and offer
suggestive insights for a global methodology for diverse media. On the
other hand, Semantic Web researchers are willing to take up more
ambitious challenges than those arising in the native context of the Web
in terms of anthropological complexity, addressing meta-semantic
problems of flexible, pluralist or evolutionary ontologies, sources
heterogeneity, hermeneutic and rhetoric dimensions. Thus the opportunity
for a fruitful encounter of knowledge engineers with computer-savvy
historians and classicists has come. This encounter may be inscribed
within the more general context of digital humanities, a research area
at the intersection of computing and the humanities disciplines which is
gaining an ever-increasing momentum and where the Linked Open Data is
playing an increasingly prominent role.
The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion about
the methodological approaches to the specificity of annotating
“scientific” texts (in the wide sense of the term, including disciplines
such as history, architecture, or rhetoric), and to support a
collaborative reflection, on possible guidelines or specific models for
building historical ontologies. The iconographic data, which are also
relevant in history of science and arise similar problematic could be
addressed as well and offer suggestive insights for a global methodology
for diverse media. A key goal of the workshop, focusing on research
issues related to pre-modern scientific texts, is to emphasize, through
precise projects and up-to-date investigation in digital humanities, the
benefit of a multidisciplinary research to create and operate on
relevantly structured data. One of the main interests of the very topic
of pre-modern historical data management lies in historical semantics,
and the opportunity to jointly consider how to identify and express
lexical, theoretical and material evolutions. Dealing with historical
texts, a major problem is indeed to handle the discrepancy of the
historical terminology compared to the modern one, and, in the case of
massive, diachronic data, to take into account the contextual and
theoretical meaning of terms and segments of texts and their semantics.
Topics covered by the workshop include the following :
- Ontologies and vocabularies in Ancient Science
- Semantic annotation of ancient and medieval scientific texts
- Information/knowledge extraction from archaeological objects and texts
- Semantic integration of heterogeneous and contradicting knowledge
- Representation of the historical dimension of Scientific Knowledge
- Impact of Semantic Web technologies on Digital Humanities
- Knowledge Engineering for ancient zoological science and literature
- Social Web, collaborative systems, tagging, and user feedback
