Semantic scripting

Crete, Greece

News

• SFSW2010 is over, you can find impressions from the workshop here.
• Alexandre Passant and Pablo Mendes were winning this years Scripting Challenge with their submissionsparqlPuSH: Proactive notification of data updates in RDF stores using PubSubHubbub.
• List of accepted papers and programme are online.
• Easychair Submission site is open!
• Talis has very kindly sponsored the challenge with €300 for the best entry!
• This Workshop webpage is up!
• This year ESWC is trying new forms of co-located events, and offered us the oppertunity to be a Challenge-focussed event, instead of just a workshop. Since, we traditionally have a Scripting Challenge anyway, and the focus of the workshop has always been on hands-on working code, this seemed like a good idea. Enjoy your new Scripting for the Semantic Web Challenge 2010! The practical effect of this is that the workshop papers and challenge papers are now combined, and we require demos of all submissions!

Objectives

Scripting languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, JSP and ActionScript are playing a central role in current development towards flexible, lightweight web applications following the AJAX and REST design paradigms. These languages are the tools of a generation of web programmers who use them to quickly create server and client-side web applications. Many deployed Semantic Web applications from the FOAF, RSS/ATOM, blog and wiki communities, as well as many innovative mashups from the Web 2.0 and Open Data movements are using scripting languages and it is likely that the process of RDF-izing existing database-backed websites, wikis, weblogs and CMS will largely rely on scripting languages.

The workshop aims to bring together developers of the RDF base infrastructure for scripting languages with practitioners building applications using these languages. Last years Scripting for the Semantic Web workshop in Budva, Montenegro focused on giving an overview about the support for Semantic Web technologies within scripting languages. The special focus of this yearís workshop is the role of scripting languages in the process of populating the Web with linked RDF data as well as to showcase innovative scripting applications that consume RDF data from the Web. The second focus of the workshop is to show how Web 2.0 applications and mashups can benefit from Semantic Web technologies.

The workshop will include a Scripting Challenge (conducted for the 2nd time) which will award a prize to the most innovative scripting application. The price is kindly sponsored by T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH.

Objectives

Scripting languages such as Python, PHP, Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, ASP, JSP and ActionScript are playing a central role in current development towards flexible, lightweight web applications following the AJAX and REST design paradigms. These languages are the tools of a generation of web programmers who use them to quickly create server and client-side web applications. Scripting languages are lightweight and easy to learn, but on the other hand mature enough to be used within complex applications. Many deployed Semantic Web applications from the wiki, blog, FOAF and RSS communities, as well as many innovative mashups from the Web 2.0 and Open Data movements are using scripting languages and it is likely that the process of RDF-izing existing database-backed websites, wikis, blogs and content management systems will largely rely on scripting languages.

The workshop aims to bring together developers of the RDF base infrastructure for scripting languages with practitioners building applications using these languages. Last year’s workshop in Hersonissos/Crete focused on giving an overview about the support for Semantic Web technologies within scripting languages. The special focus of this year’s workshop is to showcase innovative Semantic Web applications relying on script languages and to give an overview about currently emerging Web 2.0 mashups and their interrelations with the Semantic Web.

The workshop includes a scripting challenge which will award an Apple iPod Nano (or alternatively € 200 cash) as a price to the most innovative scripting application. The price is kindly sponsored by @semantics.
