12 May 2020, 16th Joint ACL - ISO Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation (ISA-16), Cancelled

ISA-16 is the sixteenth edition of a series of joint workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group in Semantics (SIGSEM) and the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO. 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.

Besides a main track, ISA-16 will feature two specialised tracks, focused on (a) the annotation of quantification (and quantified modification) in natural language and (b) the design and representation of data structures for generating visualisations of linguistically represented objects, properties, and events. Both specialised tracks will consist of a pre-conference on-line portion and an on-site portion during the ISA-16 workshop.

As the LREC 2020 conference has been cancelled, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, so has the ISA-16 workshop. The workshop proceedings are however published according to the original schedule.
