Conference Title
"Semantic Interoperability of Linked Data"
Conference Theme
DC-2009 will focus on linked data and the enabling of the Semantic Web. Conference
participants will explore the conceptual and practical issues in breaking the constraints of data
silos and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge. Metadata is a key to these
processes supporting publishing and interlinking structured data on the Semantic Web.
The basic assumption behind the concept of linked data is that the value and usefulness of data
increases the more it is interlinked with other data. There is a growing interest in the metadata
community in connecting existing and future data contained in silos within and across
organizations in a meaningful way that supports extraction and correlation of the data. The
linking of data from disparate data silos presents technical and social challenges that will be
explored at DC-2009 through full papers, project reports, posters, special sessions and
workshops.
Beyond the conference theme, papers, reports, and poster submissions are welcome on a wide
range of metadata topics, such as:
- Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
- Metadata quality, normalization, and mapping
- Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
- Application profiles
- Metadata interoperability across domains, languages, and time
- Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping, preservation, institutional repositories)
- Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory institutions, education,
government, and scientific fields)
- Bibliographic standards (e.g., RDA, FRBR, subject headings) as Semantic Web
vocabularies
- Accessibility metadata
- Metadata for scientific data
- Metadata in e-Science and grid applications
- Social tagging
- Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies, authority files,
folksonomies, and thesauri) and Simple Knowledge Organization Systems (SKOS)
- Ontology design and development
- Integration of metadata and ontologies
- Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
- Search engines and metadata
- Semantic Web metadata and applications
- Vocabulary registries and registry services

CFP: DC-2008 (International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications)
CFP: DC-2008 (International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications)
“Metadata for Semantic and Social Applications”
22-26 September 2008
in Berlin, Germany
Deadlines and Important Dates
Papers/reports/posters submission: 30 March 2008
Acceptance notification: 15 May 2008
Camera-ready copy due: 15 June 2008

CFP URL: http://dc2008.de/papers
The annual Dublin Core conferences bring together leading metadata researchers and professionals from around the world. DC-2008 in Berlin will be the eighth in a series of conferences held previously in Tokyo, Florence, Seattle, Shanghai, Madrid, Manzanillo, and Singapore.
The DC-2008 conference is organized jointly by the Competence Centre for Interoperable Metadata (KIM), Max Planck Digital Library, Göttingen State and University Library, the German National Library, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, and Dublin Core Metadata Initiative with sponsorship from Wikimedia Deutschland.
Conference Theme
Metadata is a key aspect of our evolving infrastructure for information management, social computing, and scientific collaboration.
DC-2008 will focus on metadata challenges, solutions, and innovation in initiatives and activities underlying semantic and social applications. Metadata is part of the fabric of social computing, which includes the use of wikis, blogs, and tagging for collaboration and participation. Metadata also underlies the development of semantic applications, and the Semantic Web — the representation and integration of multimedia knowledge structures on the basis of semantic models. These two trends flow together in applications such as Wikipedia, where authors collectively create structured information that can be extracted and used to enhance access to and use of information sources.
Recent discussion has focused on how existing bibliographic standards can be expressed as Semantic Web vocabularies to facilitate the ingration of library and cultural heritage data with other types of data. Harnessing the efforts of content providers and end-users to link, tag, edit, and describe their information in interoperable ways (”participatory metadata”) is a key step towards providing knowledge environments that are scalable, self-correcting, and evolvable.
DC-2008 will explore conceptual and practical issues in the development and deployment of semantic and social applications to meet the needs of specific communities of practice.
Papers, reports, and poster submissions are welcome on a wide range of metadata topics, such as:
-Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
-Semantic Web metadata and applications
-Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
-Social tagging
-Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and Simple Knowledge Organization Systems (SKOS) (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies, authority files, folksonomies, and thesauri)
-Metadata in e-Science and grid applications
-Metadata interoperability and internationalization
-Metadata quality, normalization, and mapping
-Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping, preservation, institutional repositories)
-Vocabulary registries and registry services
-Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory institutions, education, government, and scientific fields)
-Application profiles
-Accessibility metadata
-Search engines and metadata
-Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
-Bibliographic standards (e.g., Resource Description and Access (RDA), Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), subject headings) as Semantic Web vocabularies

CFP: DC-2007 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DUBLIN CORE AND METADATA APPLICATIONS
CFP: DC-2007 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DUBLIN CORE AND METADATA APPLICATIONS
"Application Profiles: Theory and Practice"
27-31 August 2007, Singapore
http://conferences.nlb.gov.sg/dc2007/
CALL FOR PAPERS http://dublincore.org/workshops/dc2007/cfp/
The annual Dublin Core conferences bring together leading metadata researchers and professionals from around the world. The 2006 conference in Manzanillo, Mexico attracted 234 participants from 25 countries. DC-2007 in Singapore will be the seventh in a series of conferences previously held in Tokyo (2001), Florence (2002), Seattle (2003), Shanghai (2004), Madrid (2005), and Manzanillo, Mexico (2006).
Conference Theme:
The DC-2007 theme focuses on the theory and practice of developing application profiles. Application profiles provide the means to document the use of metadata terms within specific contexts and to combine terms from disparate namespaces. Application profiles may apply to communities of practice (e.g. cooperation projects) as well as to organizations in the public and private sectors. Emerging experience in the creation of application profiles reveals layers of complexity involved in combining terms from mixed abstract models. DC-2007 seeks to explore the conceptual and practical issues in the development and deployment of application profiles to meet the needs of specific communities of practice.
In addition to contributions focusing on the DC-2007 conference theme, papers and workshop proposals are welcome on a wide range of metadata topics, such as:
Accessibility
Business Models for Metadata
Conceptual Models
Cross-domain Processes (e.g., Recordkeeping, Preservation, Institutional Repositories)
Domain Metadata (e.g., Commerce, Corporate/Enterprise, Cultural Heritage Institutions (Museums, Libaries, and Archives), Education, Geo-Spatial, Government, Social Spaces)
Metadata Generation Processes (e.g., Human, Automatic, and Hybrid)
Metadata Harvesting
Multilingual Issues
Interoperability
Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., Ontologies, Taxonomies, and Thesauri)
Localization and Internationalization
Normalization and Crosswalks
Quality and Evaluation
Registries and Registry Services
Search Engines and Metadata
Social Tagging
Paper Categories:
All paper submissions to the Conference Proceedings are peer reviewed by the International Program Committee. The Committee is soliciting paper contributions of the following two types:
Full Papers (8 to 10 pages). Full papers either describe innovative original work in detail or provide critical, well-referenced overviews of key developments or good practice in the areas outlined above. Full papers will be assessed using the following criteria:
Originality of the approach to implementation
Generalizability of the methods and results described
Quality of the contribution to the implementation community
Significance of the results presented
Clarity of presentation
