Conference Aim and Topics
-----------------------------------------------

TKE 2012 will be the 10th edition of this conference that started out under
the auspices of TermNet, and has developed towards wider fields in knowledge
transfer for special language communication in a multilingual global
society. In this context, interdisciplinary research emphasizing the
intersection of different disciplines dealing with terminological aspects
and knowledge engineering resources online is welcome. This conference will
mainly focus on those theoretical, methodological and practical aspects that
show the symbiosis of terminology and knowledge engineering by highlighting
the recent advances in these related fields. We invite papers on all aspects
of the following topics

I. Terminology and knowledge engineering
- Lexicons, thesauri and ontologies as semantic resources
- Lexicons and ontologies as means for knowledge transfer
- Classification systems and thesauri
- Multimodal information management in terminology
- Metadata in terminological and knowledge resources
- Ontology localization
- Multilingual terminology extraction
- Terminology alignment in parallel corpora and other lexical resources
- Representation of terms and conceptual relations in knowledge-based
applications
- Comparative studies of terminological resources and/or ontological resources
from different languages, domains and approaches
- Interoperability and reusability in knowledge-based tools and applications

II. Terminology policies, standards and terminological tools
- Terminology in Languages for Specialized Purposes (LSPs)
- Terminology and lexicography teaching and learning
- Terminology for language planning
- Terminological resources in the 21st century
- Harmonization of format and standards in terminological resources
- Multilinguality and multimodality in terminological resources
- Management of language resources
- Models and metamodels in annotating semantic resources
- Reusing, standardizing and merging terminological or ontological resources

III. Terminology applications
- Integrating terminological resources across domains and languages
- Applying terminological resources for natural language processing
- Developing terminological tools for machine translation
- Terminology in financial and business settings
- Terminology in e-government and sector standardization
- Terminology in health sciences
- Terminology in industrial and environmental fields


Submission of extended abstracts for oral presentations and posters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended abstracts of papers for oral presentations should consist of not
more than four pages, excluding references and illustrations. Submissions
should be anonymous and must be made through the EasyChair website of the
conference https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tke2012.

The abstract submitted will be used to assign reviewers, so be sure it
identifies the subject area and expertise required to evaluate your
work. The program committee may decide to change the category of a paper
before acceptance.

Papers for posters should consist of not more than 2 pages, excluding
references and illustrations.

Once the extended abstracts have been accepted, the extension of complete
papers will be no longer than 16 pages (5000-6000 words). Papers that exceed
this limit will be rejected. Papers should be submitted
electronically. Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of the
Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS). For details on the LNCS style, see Springer's Author
Instructions (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).

The 2nd Call for Papers will include further details on accommodation and how to
arrive to the conference venue.
