Special issue of the Semantic Web journal Call for papers: Special issue of the Semantic Web journal on SEMANTICS FOR BIG DATA http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/call-papers-special-issue-semantic-web-journal-semantics-big-data One of the key challenges in making use of Big Data lies in finding ways of dealing with heterogeneity, diversity, and complexity of the data, while its volume and velocity forbid solutions available for smaller datasets as based, e.g., on manual curation or manual integration of data. Semantic Web Technologies are meant to deal with these issues, and indeed since the advent of Linked Data a few years ago, they have become central to mainstream Semantic Web research and development. We can easily understand Linked Data as being a part of the greater Big Data landscape, as many of the challenges are the same. The linking component of Linked Data, however, puts an additional focus on the integration and conflation of data across multiple sources. Possible Topics Topics of interest focus explicitly on the interplay of Semantics and Big Data, and include the use of semantic metadata and ontologies for Big Data, the use of formal and informal semantics, the integration and interplay of deductive (semantic) and statistical methods, methods to establish semantic interoperability between data sources, ways of dealing with semantic heterogeneity, scalability of Semantic Web methods and tools, and semantic approaches to the explication of requirements from eScience applications. Submissions Deadline: January 20, 2014 - extensions are possible on request Submissions shall be made through the Semantic Web journal website at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net.
