Gothenburg, Sweden, May 2019, in conjunction with IWCS 2019
isa-15, the Fifteenth Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation, is the most recent edition of a series of joint workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics (SIGSEM) and ISO TC 37/SC 4 (Language Resources) WG 2: Semantic annotation.
These workshops bring together experts in the annotation of semantic information as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, video, images, and in multiple modalities combined. Examples of semantic annotation include the markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts, discourse relations,semantic roles, reference relations, and quantification for which the ISO organization pursues the establishment of annotation standards, in order to support the creation of interoperable semantic resources.

Call for Papers
Topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:
* methodological aspects of semantic annotation
* experiments in semantic annotation
* use of context in semantic annotation procedures
* applications of semantic annotation
* crowdsourcing of semantic annotations
* uncertainty and ambiguity in semantic annotations
* integration of semantic annotation and other linguistic annotations
* combining annotations from different schemes
* semantic annotation, interpretation, and inferencing
* annotations linking language to context situations
* levels of granularity in annotation schemes
* goals of semantic annotation
* semantic annotation and ontologies
* comparison of semantic annotation schemes
* evaluation of semantic annotations
* semantic annotation in specialized domains
* best practices in semantic annotation procedures
* language- or application-specific aspects of semantic annotation
* issues in the annotation of specific domains of semantic information, such as:
. -- events, states, processes, circumstances, facts
. -- relations in discourse and dialogue
. -- time and space
. -- modality, polarity, factuality
. -- quantification and modification
. -- coreference relations
. -- semantic roles and predicate-argument structures
. -- reference and named entities
. -- attribution, attitudes, and emotions
Three types of submission are invited:
Submission of papers is in PDF form through
the ISA-15 submission site.
Submissions should be formatted in the same way as those to the
IWCS conference.
Submissions do not need to be anonymous, in order to facilitate reference to existing annotation schemes, corpora, software tools, etc.
The IWCS 2019 conference and the ISA-15 workshop are hosted by the Centre of Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) at Gothenburg University, and takes place in the university's
Wallenberg Conference Centre.
5 March 2019: Deadline for submitting papers
25 March 2019: Notification of acceptance
15 April 2019: Submission of camera-ready papers
23 May 2019: isa-15 Workshop
