Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on the
Multilingual Semantic Web
Collocated with the 10th International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC 2011)
Bonn, Germany, October 23, 2011.

Preface
Multilingualism has become an issue of major interest for the Semantic Web
community, in light of the substantial growth of internet users that create and update
knowledge all over the world in languages other than English. This process has been
accelerated due to initiatives such as the Linked Data initiative, which encourages not
only governments and public institutes to make their data available to the public, but
also private organizations in domains as far apart as medicine, cartography or music.
These actors publish their data sources in the languages they are available in, and, as
such, in order to make this information available to an international community,
multilingual knowledge representation, access and translation are an impending need.
This second edition of the MSW workshop focused on the representation of
multilingual information in the Semantic Web and Linked Data, specifically addressing
issues in the cross‐lingual discovery of mappings between multilingual Linked Data
vocabularies and data sets, and the cross‐lingual querying of knowledge repositories.
The workshop brought together researchers from several distinct communities,
including natural language processing, computational linguistics, human‐computer
interaction, artificial intelligence and the Semantic Web.
There were 13 submissions to the workshop, from which the program committee
accepted 5 as full papers and 5 as short papers. Taking into account only the full
papers the selection rate amounts to 40%. The accepted papers cover a variety of
topics regarding the representation of lexical objects in the Semantic Web, the
creation and management of multilingual knowledge bases, as well as the cross‐lingual
linking of multilingual ontologies and data sets. The MSW Workshop program also
included a keynote talk by Sebastian Hellmann.
We would like to thank the authors for providing the content of the program. We
would like to express our gratitude to the program committee for their work on
reviewing papers and providing interesting feedback to authors. We would also like to
thank Behrang Qasemizadeh for his technical support. And finally, we kindly
acknowledge the European Union for its support through the research grant for
Monnet (FP7‐248458), the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation for its support
through the BabeLData project (TIN2010‐17550), and the Science Foundation Ireland
through Lion2 (SFI/08/CE/I1380). Special thanks also go to the European Project
FlareNet (ECP‐2007‐LANG‐617001) and the Special Interest Group on Computational
Semantics (SIGSEM) of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) for their
endorsement.
