************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
Digital libraries, in the central view of the term, focus on storing and organizing digital objects and providing access to these objects through professional or user-generated metadata or content-based search (full text, image content, full musical score). In an expanded view, DLs also support annotation, generation or editing of digital objects and provide tools for processing digital objects. The semantic Web focuses on the formal representation of data for more precise retrieval and, more importantly, for reasoning so that many often disparate items of data can be combined to directly answer a user's question or to devise a plan of action. ICDLSW addresses two main questions:
(1) How can digital libraries support Semantic Web functionality?
(2) How can Semantic Web technology improve digital libraries?
Ultimately the goal is an environment in which all functionality is available to the user without the perception of different systems or system boundaries. Contributions are sought that address one or both of the main questions or steps towards the ultimate system.
SPECIFIC TOPICS that address one or both of the main questions can be found at: http://www.icsd-conference.org/node/20.
FULL CALL FOR PAPERS available at: http://www.icsd-conference.org/node/1.
The conference will explore the area of digital libraries and the semantic web through tutorials, workshops, demonstrations, invited talks and presentations. The conference will also serve as a working platform for communities to discuss and agree on joint work. We also encourage the submission of WORKSHOP proposals for this purpose.

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

The American Association for History and Computing (AAHC)
2008 Annual Conference
Access via Internet
April 20-22, 2008
Deadline: February 28, 2008
"The central principle behind the success of the giants born in the Web 1.0 era who have survived to lead the Web 2.0 era appears to be this, that they have embraced the power of the web to harness collective intelligence." -Tim O'Reilly, 2005
Join the American Association for History and Computing for an online exploration of the ways that technology is pushing the boundaries of the Web and the ways history is being presented. This conference will be of interest to anyone who is charged with bringing history to life - both online and in the academic and public worlds' such as archivists, librarians, historic preservationists, IT professionals, filmmakers, and academic historians. The conference will explore questions such as:
-What does Web 2.0 History involve?
-How does Web 2.0 History differ from Web 1.0 History?
-What does it enable us to do that could not be done in Web 1.0?
-What are the implications of Web 2.0 History for teaching and research?
-What are the positive and negative aspects of Web 2.0 History?
This online conference goes beyond theory into the realm of practice. It intends to highlight efforts to build history initiatives using the Web. The goal of this conference is to emphasize both practical and theoretical applications of Web 2.0. Web 2.0 enables the quick application and sharing of ideas; therefore, proposals that build something new or create new collaborations out of existing programs (i.e. "mashing-up") are especially encouraged.
Suggested topics for proposals include (but are not limited to):
-"Viral" history
-Open source programs used to interpret history
-Tagging and history
-Wikis and history
-Blogs and history
-RSS and history
-Data ownership: databases and history analysis
-Mapping history (Google-based documentation)
-Podcasting and history
-Digital video (such as YouTube) and history
-Virtual worlds (such as Second Life) and history
If you are an historian (academic, public, secondary education, graduate student) or engage history through a related discipline (librarian, archivist, publisher, editor, etc.), you are invited to submit your panel or single presentation proposals.
All presenters must be current members of the AAHC. For more information about membership, please visit our website at http://www.theaahc.org.
Proposals for complete panels should include a chair. All proposals must include a 200-word abstract for each paper, along with a brief vita for each participant. Please be sure to indicate which member of the panel will serve as the contact person for future correspondence. Please include name, address, telephone number, and email address for each participant.

Open Scholarship: Authority, Community and Sustainability in the Age of Web 2.0
Scholarly communications, in particular scholarly publications, are undergoing tremendous changes. Researchers, universities, funding bodies, research libraries and publishers are responding in different ways, from active experimentation, adaptation, to strong resistance. The ELPUB2008 conference will focus on key issues on the future of scholarly communications resulting from the intersection of semantic web technologies, the development of cyberinfrastructure for humanities and the sciences, and new dissemination channels and business models. We welcome a wide variety of papers from members of these communities whose research and experiments are transforming the nature of scholarly communications. Topics include but are not restricted to:
* New Publishing models, tools, services and roles
* New scholarly constructs and discourse methods
* Innovative business models for scholarly publishing
* Multilingual and multimodal interfaces
* Services and technology for specific user communities, media, and content
* Content search, analysis and retrieval

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
URL: http://www.dc2008.de/
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: Special issue of Library Review (Digital libraries and the Semantic Web: context, applications and research)
CFP: Special issue of Library Review (Digital libraries and the Semantic Web: context, applications and research)
Details: http://cdlr.strath.ac.uk/LibraryReview/
Important dates are as follows:
Friday 5th October 2007: deadline for submission of papers
Monday 5th November 2007: acceptance notification
Friday 7th December 2007: submission of 'camera ready' version (complete with reviewers' revisions/changes)
Spring 2008: publication of special issue
--------------------------------
Submissions are sought for a special issue of Library Review on the topic of 'Digital libraries and the Semantic Web: context, applications and research'.
For many digital libraries or cultural institutions, the Semantic Web offers an opportunity to better expose valuable digital resources pertaining to research, culture or history, using common standards and technologies in a collaborative and 'joined up' way. Semantic Web technologies are capable of enhancing digital libraries or repositories by facilitating improved user interfaces and human-computer interaction, improved navigation and retrieval within heterogeneous document environments, user profiling, personalisation and contextualisation, etc. Such technologies also have the potential to solve or aid the management of problems relevant to the LIS community, such as semantic interoperability, advanced metadata and information integration, the management of large corpora of heterogeneous digital resources, and so forth.
This special themed issue of Library Review consolidates similarly themed conferences (e.g. the International Conference on Semantic Web and Digital Libraries (ICSD-2007)) and aims to demonstrate the relevance and application of Semantic Web technologies to digital libraries, repositories, and the LIS community generally.
Submissions are welcome from all interested parties and communities. Submissions may comprise research papers, evaluation, case studies, and descriptions of innovative projects, theoretical expositions, or reviews. Topics for submission could include, but are by no means limited to:
- Digital library and Semantic Web project case studies, best practice examples, etc.
- Innovative uses of RDF applications such as Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), Web Ontology Language (OWL), Friend-of-a-Friend (FOAF), etc. within digital libraries or similar environments
- Use of Semantic Web techniques in the deployment of Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS), including terminology services
- Large scale metadata integration
- Knowledge organization and ontologies (including the application of knowledge organization systems or ontologies in interfaces to digital libraries)
- Reviews of Semantic Web techniques and their actual (and potential) application within digital libraries
- Ontological navigation and inferencing/reasoning techniques
- Methodologies for ontology management, evaluation, mapping, merging, integration, etc.
- Semantically rich interfaces to digital libraries
- Management, use and navigation of bibliographic data using Semantic Web technologies
- Semantic Web approaches to information retrieval within digital libraries
- Storage, manipulation, querying of RDF data
- Technology and Semantic Web modelling tools
- Knowledge organization systems and user interfaces at the crossroads
Owing to the aim of this special issue, submissions on the above noted topics are encouraged to:
* Emphasise the practical implications of Semantic Web research or developments for digital libraries and repositories;
* Where possible, endeavour to note the relevance of research findings for future digital library management or service provision;
* Comment on areas of useful overlap between the digital library and Semantic Web developments and how the aims of each community can be furthered by increased collaboration.
Important dates are as follows:
Friday 5th October 2007: deadline for submission of papers
Monday 5th November 2007: acceptance notification
Friday 7th December 2007: submission of 'camera ready' version (complete with reviewers' revisions/changes)
