ISA-15 is the fifteenth edition of a series of joint workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group in Semantics (SIGSEM) and the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO. The first workshop in this series took part in conjunction with the IWCS 2003 conference in Tilburg (Netherlands); the latest editions were held as part of the LREC 2016 conference in Portoroz, Slovenia (ISA-12), of the IWCS 2017 conference in Montpellier, France (ISA-13), and of the COLING 2018 conference in Santa Fé (New Mexico), USA, last August (ISA-14).
ISA-workshops bring together experts in the annotation of semantic information as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, video, images, and in communicative behaviour where multiple modalities are combined. Examples of semantic annotation include the markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts, discourse relations, semantic roles, coreference, quantification phenomena, and other aspects of meaning for which the ISO organisation pursues the establishment and application of standardised annotation methods and representation schemes, in order to support the creation of interoperable semantic and pragmatic resources.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers describing original research iin the area of semantic annotation; these can be either long (6-8 pages plus references) or short (3-4 pages plus references)
- Project notes describing recent, ongoing or planned projects involving semantic annotation (2-4 pages including references);
- Demonstration notes, accompanying demonstration of software tools to support manual semantic annotation, or systems for automatic semantic annotation (2-4 pages including references).
Submission of papers is in PDF form through the ISA-15 submission site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isa150 . All submissions should be formatted in the same way as those to the IWCS 2019 conference.
