Sorry if you already know ... I suppose most of you have received this one
way or another.
This event could be of great interest for IVOA.

Call for Papers
Semantic Web Technologies for Searching and Retrieving Scientific Data Monday, October 20, 2003 Sundial Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA http://ic.arc.nasa.gov/projects/scisw2003/cfp.htm A workshop in conjunction with The Second International Semantic Web Conference Submission of papers: July 18, 2003 Notification of acceptance: August 22, 2003 Submission of camera-ready version: September 19, 2003 Workshop: October 20, 2003
This one-day workshop aims at exploring the Semantic-Web requirements for scientific communities. The particular focus is on methods for search and retrieval of scientific data that match the needs of domain scientists. In most scientific disciplines today, such as earth sciences, bio-informatics, environmental science, physical sciences, medical informatics and others, scientists access a number of online sources that provide information and services in that domain. Currently available methods and capabilities for searching, locating, retrieving, querying, and integrating scientific data from multiple online sources are inadequate for scientists who still use collections of stand-alone sources. There are several efforts in progress on applying semantic web technology for data retrieval in scientific domains such as integrating Geospatial data, integrating bio-informatics sources and services, integration of GeoSciences data, Earth Science information sources and also Medical Informatics data sources, which are all based on tailoring upcoming Semantic Web technologies to science data search and retrieval.
The objective of this workshop is to gain new insights into the information search and retrieval needs of scientists and the applicability of semantic web technology to this task by reviewing efforts in progress as well as new perspectives on building semantic web-based approaches for scientific communities. We welcome submissions that describe a vision or work in progress on building a semantic web for a particular science discipline.
