Workshop on Web of Linked Entities (WoLE2012)
http://wole2012.eurecom.fr

In conjunction with the 11th International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC2012), Boston, 11/12 November 2012

Most of the knowledge available on the Web is encoded in natural
language text or Web documents aimed primarily at human consumption.
Providing programmatic access to such knowledge is an interesting
prospect. This requires information extraction techniques to extract
machine readable structures from free text, from which it is possible to
retrieve entities and categories. These entities can potentially be
linked to each other, creating a global knowledge graph of linked entities.

The WoLE2012 workshop envisions the Web as a Web of Linked Entities
(WoLE), which transparently connects the World Wide Web (WWW) and the
Giant Global Graph (GGG) using methods from Information Retrieval (IR)
and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The focus of this workshop is to
