                 in conjunction with ECML'01/PKDD'01
               September 3-7, 2001, Freiburg, Germany

The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
from the two fastly developing research areas Semantic Web and
Web Mining. One can improve the results of Web Mining by
exploiting the new semantic structures in the web. Furthermore, Web
Mining can help to build the Semantic Web.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Concept Taxonomies (e.g. product hierarchies) and Web Mining
- Using the Syntactic Layer (XML) for Semantic Web Mining
- Using the Vocabulary Layer (e.g. RDF-Schema) for
  Semantic Web Mining
- Using the Logical Layer (e.g. Description Logics/OIL) for
  Semantic Web Mining
- User Profiling, Segmentation and Interpretation with
  Background Knowledge
- Using Background Knowledge for Web Mining
- Metadata-based Text Mining
- Text Mining for Creating Metadata
- Learning Taxonomies and Ontologies from the Web
- Metadata Harvesting
- Information Extraction with Machine Learning
