| BONy + | BONy is a cognitive e-Learning Management … BONy is a cognitive e-Learning Management System (eLMS) allowing users to find and to learn the units strictly requested and necessary to achieve their training experience. BONy supplies a multilingual access to information. This involves an ontological approach to knowledge and an interconnection among formative contents and interactive multimedia thanks to the semantic web methodology. BONy e-learners’ community will interact using a PDA phone, in order to produce the first in-site content management system which will change the user’s perspective on learning. BONy is a social network where users can play a double role of students and/or teachers according to theirs skills and requirements, therefore being able both to satisfy their formative needs and to share their professional and linguistic expertises. At the same time, BONy intends to provide a social network experts fully dedicated to the European cooperation in the domains of research and project management. BONy researchers aim at improving the following ICT equipments in order to support efficiently any training process: *An Ontology-based e-course on European Project Cycle Management. Project management is a European professional reality. The vision is to promote future European cooperation to create further e-courses on different subjects (businesses, arts, etc.) and to provide a web-based infrastructure to launch future research projects or to find potential partners; *An adaptive and intuitive e-learning system able to learn and to configure itself according to its’ “understanding” and interaction with learners' behaviour. A system able to identify learners’ requirements, to generate random tests on the formative units required and to verify trainees' progress; *A mobile phone adapter system useful to retrieve information and to interact within the community; *A trainee/trainer Social Network acting as “bank of time” useful for the creation a “Friend-of-Friend” expert community, able to exchange know-how on various topics such as Project Management, education, learning, R&D, with the aim of further integration, inter-cultural dialogue and research project design and management. nd research project design and management. |

| News/11 + | on September 21th at 15.00 Dr. Jack Owens … on September 21th at 15.00 Dr. Jack Owens (Idaho State University, Geographically-Integrated History Laboratory) [1] will give a seminar on: "Understanding Social Networks within Complex, Nonlinear Systems: Geographically-Integrated History and Dynamics GIS" Where: ISTC-CNR, Via San Martino della Battaglia 44 (near central station), first floor, Piaget room Slides are downloadable from [http://stlab.istc.cnr.it/external/Owens_Roma_2010.pdf here] [1] http://idahostate.academia.edu/JBJackOwens Abstract Owens will present the model he uses to frame research questions about strategic interactions within human social networks. The talk will focus on his new project, which has just been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through the agency’s “transformative research” program “Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation”. This project constitutes a multidisciplinary research agenda of a virtual organization of historians, geographers, computer scientists, and mathematicians to share historical social science data and develop geographically integrated frameworks to address complex, dynamic, nonlinear systems and social networks. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, the project will fuse qualitative and quantitative data to connect humans, events, and environments, and through such connections to form historical narratives within and across geographic spaces. The project’s ultimate goal is to better infuse computational thinking into the historical social sciences through computational innovation and narrative knowledge creation to revolutionize research outcomes in these disciplines with a shift to the paradigm of Geographically-Integrated History. Narrative constitutes a unique form of knowledge and communication, which will better contribute than other types of argument to an understanding of significant phenomena such as the emergence of new forms of entrepreneurship, gender and political interactions, and cultural expression across a vast geographic landscape. The project’s developments in Dynamics GIS (geographic information systems) and related information technologies will provide the backbone for understanding complex historical social systems with three components that define the geographically-integrated history paradigm: (1) the history of any place is shaped in significant ways by the way the place is connected to other places and by the changes in these connections over time; (2) historical periods are complex, dynamic, nonlinear systems that are spatially large, and in more recent centuries, global in extension, and these systems sometimes become unstable, leading to a phase transition, bifurcation, and the organization of new systems; and (3) within such systems, people and places are connected by social networks in a self-organizing fashion. Focusing on the First Global Age (1400-1800), the project will transform historical research with computational thinking on (1) new means for the representation of data for organizing, storing, manipulating, and recovering them for exploration using computational tools; (2) new spatial-temporal GIS for the visualization and analysis of real world dynamics; (3) new tools for data harmonization and text mining; (4) new approaches to the use of information that is vague, uncertain, and incomplete and of qualitative data within a computational context; (5) new forms of modeling to represent the inferences of domain experts; and (6) new metaphors beyond the map and animation-based visualization for temporal GIS. The project frames the First Global Age as a complex, dynamic, nonlinear system. Within this system, there were periodic disruptions of social networks, including those caused by the expansion of opportunities and of the system itself and by interaction with coupled natural systems. To maintain system stability, actors, both men and women, had to counter the disruptions by constituting more robust networks, but the resulting denser webs of connections permitted even more widespread future cascades of disturbances. In the later eighteenth century, such a cascade of innovation disrupted one or more of the system’s “control” variables and initiated a transition to a new system, the Second Global Age in which we now live. In their narration of revealing geographically-integrated stories, historians of the First Global Age can combine a social network approach to move from data to an understanding of a complex system, and in doing so, they will offer a world historical account that addresses larger issues of system and network dynamics and provides a solution to the common criticism of world-systems analysis that it ignores the relationships between the local and the larger system. s between the local and the larger system. |

Patterns need to be shared by a community in order to provide a common language, hence the aim of this workshop is twofold; both providing an arena for proposing and discussing patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems etc., and broadening the pattern community that will develop its own “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. The first workshop will be held at ISWC on October 25th 2009. It will be a full-day workshop consisting of three parts; paper presentations, posters, and “pattern writing” sessions. For the pattern writing sessions ontology design patterns will be submitted and reviewed at ''ontologydesignpatterns.org'', including the assignment of an advisor for each accepted pattern submission.

| News/7 + | Semantic Domains in Computational Linguist … Semantic Domains in Computational Linguistics Gliozzo, Alfio, Strapparava, Carlo 2009, IX, 131 p., Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-540-68156-4 Available here http://www.springer.com/linguistics/computational+linguistics/book/978-3-540-68156-4 Abstract: Semantic fields are lexically coherent – the words they contain co-occur in texts. In this book the authors introduce and define semantic domains, a computational model for lexical semantics inspired by the theory of semantic fields. Semantic domains allow us to exploit domain features for texts, terms and concepts, and they can significantly boost the performance of natural-language processing systems. Semantic domains can be derived from existing lexical resources or can be acquired from corpora in an unsupervised manner. They also have the property of interlinguality, and they can be used to relate terms in different languages in multilingual application scenarios. The authors give a comprehensive explanation of the computational model, with detailed chapters on semantic domains, domain models, and applications of the technique in text categorization, word sense disambiguation, and cross-language text categorization. This book is suitable for researchers and graduate students in computational linguistics. ate students in computational linguistics. |

| News/9 + | Language resources are of crucial importan … Language resources are of crucial importance not only for research and development in language and speech technology but also for eLearning applications. In addition, the increasingly availability of semantically interpreted data in the WEB 3.0 is creating a huge impact in semantic technology. Social media applications such as Delicious, Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook, provide us with data in the form of tags and interactions among users. We believe that the exploitation of semantic data (emerging both from the Semantic Web and from social media) and language resources will drive the next generation eLearning platforms. The integration of these technologies within eLearning applications should also facilitate access to learning material in developing economies. The workshop aims at bringing together computational linguists, language resources developers, knowledge engineers, social media researchers and researchers involved in technology-enhanced learning as well as developers of eLearning material, ePublishers and eLearning practitioners. It will provide a forum for interaction among members of different research communities, and a means for attendees to increase their knowledge and understanding of the potential of language resources in eLearning. We will especially target eLearning practitioners in the Mediterranean Partner Countries.
