The 2nd Workshop on
       Artificial Intelligence meets the Web of Data
                AImWD-2013 @ ESWC-2013




The Linked Data initiative aims at improving data publication on the Web, thereby
creating a “Web of Data”: an interconnected, distributed, global data space. The Web
of Data enables people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can
currently share documents on the Web of Documents (WWW). The availability of this
global data space creates new opportunities for the exploitation of Artificial
Intelligence techniques in relation with knowledge representation, information
extraction, data mining, information integration, and intelligent agents.
Two approaches can emerge:
    • Using AI techniques to address the problems the Web of Data faces
    • Using the design principles of the Web of Data to improve knowledge
        representation, publication and reasoning within AI techniques.

The workshop is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate the Semantic
Web and AI disciplines like natural language processing, AI and law, game theory,
cognitive science, and digital societies. This workshop aims at bringing them
together, and we invited papers from all the above disciplines, in particular those that
cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries. With this workshop, our goal is to
contribute to the birth of a community having a shared interest around publishing
data on the Web, exploring and reasoning over it using AI technologies – or the
inverse, improving AI technologies by the adoption of techniques and tools proposed
within Web of Data research.

AImWD-2013 was held in Montpellier, France on May 26, 2013, collocated with the
10th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC-2013). This volume contains two
contributions to AImWD-2013. The first one describes a tool for applying SPARQL
queries to OpenCyc knowledge bases, enabling the integration of the CYC
knowledge base into the Web of Data. The second contribution presents logic-based
approaches for linking cultural and bibliographic data on the Web of Data. All
submissions were assessed by the program committee of the workshop, to which we
express our gratitude.
