Welcome

Welcome to ISA-18, the Eighteenth Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation. This is the 2022 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, motion, dialogue acts, discourse relations, semantic roles, coreference, and quantification phenomena, for which the ISO organization pursues the establishment of standardised annotation methods and representation schemes, to support the creation of interoperable semantic resources.

Program and Proceedings

The ISA-18 proceedings are available here. They will also be published as part of the LREC 2022 proceedings and in the ACL Anthology.
