Original papers in three main areas are expected:

Linguistics

• linguistic representation and function of different kinds of information (e.g. opinion/subjectivity/objectivity)
• discourse structure related to the presentation of events within and across blog entries
• annotation of events in corpora of blogs
• extension/adaptation of 'traditional' annotation of news texts for blog entries
• description of resources encoding information relevant to this workshop

Methods for event processing or necessary for event processing

• event identification in blogs
• contradictory information regarding the same events (cross-document NP and event coreference)
• entity tracking across blog entries
• identification, representation and reasoning about time in blogs
• evaluation of event identification methods trained on newswire vs blogs

NLP methods and applications that use information about events

• summarisation of events from blogs
• opinion mining and analysis in blogs vs newswire
• identification of objective and subjective information in blogs vs newswire
• commercial systems which process events in blogs

Although we only explicitly mention blogs, research on text types from other collaborative environments such as wikis, fora, chats and social networks will also be considered.
