Focus & Scope of the Conference
The Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World conference focuses on methods, standards, and tools for the semantic annotation of historical, literary, and cultural heritage materials.
We welcome contributions relating to
- Ontology-based models and frameworks for semantic annotation.
- Methods for multilingual and cross-lingual semantic annotation of historical and literary corpora.
- Automatic, semi-automatic, and assisted annotation pipelines, including annotation interfaces and workflow design.
- Semantic enrichment of texts and images through entity recognition, linking to controlled vocabularies, and ontology alignment.
- Use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI for annotation, enrichment, disambiguation, and knowledge extraction.
- Human–AI collaborative annotation strategies, including expert validation, iterative refinement, and quality control.
- Integration of annotated corpora with Knowledge Graphs and Linked Open Data ecosystems.
- Computational philology approaches that rely on or produce semantically enriched corpora.
- Digital Classics and Cultural Heritage infrastructures supporting annotation, curation, and data interoperability.
- Ethical and epistemological considerations in AI-supported semantic annotation, including transparency, provenance, and interpretability.
