In recent years, researchers in several communities involved in aspects of the web have begun to realise the potential benefits of assigning an important role to events in the representation and organisation of knowledge and media. While a good deal of relevant research has been done in the semantic web community (for example on the modeling of events), a lot of complementary research has been done in other communities, such as multimedia processing and information retrieval. The goal of this workshop is to advance research on this general topic within the semantic web community, by both building on existing semantic web work and integrating results and methods from other areas, with a particular focus on issues that are central to the semantic web.


Intended Audience
We invite participants from various areas of research that are represented in the semantic web community, such as: artificial intelligence, information and communication technologies, data mining, data science, human- computer interaction, humanities, and web information systems. We specifically invite contributions focusing on particular application areas, such as tourism, entertainment, cultural heritage, or government.
