1st International Workshop on
Quantitative Formalization in the Semantic Web (SemQuant 2012)

In conjunction with the 
11th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2012)

Boston, Massachusetts, USA
11-12 November 2012

Workshop Overview

This workshop aims to unlock a new paradigm in Semantic Web research, and even in KR research in general, by
adding a quantitative research paradigm to the traditionally predominant qualitative logic-based
paradigm. This is motivated in part by the significant growth in Semantic Web data, including ontologies
and Linked Data, over recent years. To efficiently manage the vast quantities of knowledge and data on the
Semantic Web, we need theories and tools to address questions like:

- How can we measure knowledge?
- How are these measurements different from measurements of information?
- How can we efficiently store knowledge?
- How can we efficiently and accurately transform knowledge on noisy channels like the Web?
- How can we measure the quality of ontologies and other forms of knowledge?
- How can we determine the quality of approximate methods for inference, similarity, soundness,
completeness, etc.?
