Subject: DC-2005 CFP: Vocabularies in Practice
Dear NKOS members,
It is a pleasure for me to announce you that we have issued this month the
web of The International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications
(DC-2005) [1], to be held at University Carlos III of Madrid from 12 to 15
September 2005.
The catchword for the Conference this year is "Vocabularies in Practice"
that I think it is a very interesting topic for the NKOS community to join
together several communities also interested on Vocabularies in a conference
framework. The CFP, that I'm copying below, will be open till 1st April. We
wait for your papers, proposals and participation and we expect to see you
here in Madrid.
Best regards,
Eva Méndez

April 2005)-------------------------------
Metadata Vocabularies in Practice
Metadata based on standards such as Dublin Core are a key component of
information environments from scientific repositories to corporate intranets
and from business and publishing to education and e-government.
DC-2005 - the fifth in a series of conferences previously held in Tokyo
(2001), Florence (2002), Seattle (2003), and Shanghai (2004) - will examine
the practicalities of maintaining and using controlled sets of terms
("vocabularies") in the context of the Web.
DC-2005 aims at bringing together several distinct communities of vocabulary
users:
-Users of metadata standards such as Dublin Core and Learning Object
Metadata (LOM), with their sets of descriptive "elements" and "properties"
-The W3C Semantic Web Activity, which has formalized the notion of
"ontologies"
-Users of Knowledge Organization Systems, which encompass value-space
structures such as "thesauri" and "subject classifications"
-The world of corporate intranets, which use "taxonomies"
These diverse communities share common problems, from the the use of
identifiers for terms to practices for developing, maintaining, versioning,
translating, and adapting standard vocabularies for specific local needs.
Topics of particular relevance include:
-Publication of vocabularies as formal schemas
-Community processes of vocabulary development
-Vocabulary maintenance and workflows
-Corporate enterprise metadata and taxonomies
-Formal ontologies and Semantic Web frameworks
-Application profiles and vocabulary adaptations
-Metadata normalization and crosswalks
-Versioning of vocabularies
-Use of term identifiers and dereferencing practice
-Vocabulary registries and registry services
-Multilingual vocabularies and translations
-Vocabularies and accessibility
The Program Committee would like to solicit contributions of the following
types:
-Regular Papers (8 to 10 pages) either describe innovative original work in
detail or provide critical, well-referenced overviews of key developments or
good practice in the areas outlined above
-Short papers (2 to 4 pages) describe a specific model, application, or
activity in a concise format
-Workshop proposals (1 page) define the topic of workshop session, identify
organizers, and describe a process for inviting and reviewing contributions
Paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee and
published both in print and electronically in the conference proceedings.
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference by at least one of
their authors.
Deadlines and important dates
Papers submission: 1 April 2005
Acceptance notification: 1 June 2005
Camera-ready copy due: 1 July 2005
Confence language
The official language of the conference is English, but we will provide
simultaneous translation (English-Spanish) for keynotes, tutorials, and
plenary sessions.
