A
resource
corresponds to an information source such as a data repository or
database management system (e.g., a query form or a textual search
engine), a link between resources (an index or hyperlink), or a service
such as an application or tool. Resources are characterized by core
information including a name, a description of its input and its output
(parameters or format), its address, and various additional properties
expressed as metadata.
Resource discovery is the process of
identifying and locating existing resources that have a particular
property. Machine-based resource discovery relies on crawling,
clustering, and classifying resources discovered on the Web
automatically. Resources are organized with respect to metadata that
characterize their content (for data sources), their semantics (in
terms of ontological classes and relationships), their characteristics
(syntactical properties), their performance
(with metrics and benchmarks), their quality (curation,
reliability,
trust),
etc.

The
Third
International
Workshop
on
Resource
Discovery
aims
at
bringing
together
researchers,
developers,
and
practitioners to discuss research
issues and experience in developing and deploying concepts,
applications, and solutions addressing various issues related to
resource discovery. Papers presenting either theoretical or applicative
material are expected. Because of the dynamic research and development
effort towards supporting resource discovery for the life sciences, we
expect to receive many contributions in the scope of this very exciting
application domain. However, we encourage the submission of generic
solutions or the presentation of application experiences other than
related to life sciences.
Workshop key dates
Long Paper submission deadline: CLOSE
Short Paper and Demo submission deadline: September 15th, 2010
Acceptance notification:
Octuber 15th, 2010
Camera ready: Octuber 31st, 2010
We invite the submission of 15
pages (long papers), short
research papers (up to 8 pages in LNCS format), demonstration papers
(up to 5 pages in LNCS format), and poster papers (up to 5 pages in
LNCS format).
Papers accepted to workshop will be available on-line at the
workshop Web site on November 1st. Then all papers presented at the
workshop (including long, short, demos, poster) will be invited to be
revised and extended for a second peer-review process. At the issue of
the second review process, accepted papers in a volumen of Lecture
Notes in Computer Science by Springer.
