Dear friends, it is a pleasure for me to send to you this CFP about Linking
and Opening Vocabularies, which I think that some of you are working on it
currently, and have a lot of things to tell to the community.
Library Hi Tech (LHT) seeks papers about new works, initiatives, trends and
research in the field of linking and opening vocabularies. This CFP is
inspired by the 2012 LOV Symposium: Linking and Opening Vocabularies
symposium and SKOS-2-HIVE—Helping Interdisciplinary Vocabulary Engineering
workshop—held at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). This LHT
special issue might include papers delivered at the UC3M-LOV events and
other original works related with this subject, not yet published.
Papers specifically addressing research and development activities,
implementation challenges and solutions, and educative aspects of Linked
Open Vocabularies (LOV) and/or in a broader sense Linked Open Data, are of
particular interest. A list of relevant topics includes, but is not limited
to the following:
§ Technological or political issues relating to linking and opening
vocabularies
§ 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
§ Vocabularies and the Semantic Web (metadata and applications)
§ Vocabularies for scientific data, e-Science and grid applications
§ Vocabulary registries and registry services
§ Alignment and mapping diverse vocabularies
§ Social tagging and user participation in building vocabularies
§ Management of social tagging vocabularies to improve metadata systems
§ Metadata Vocabulary-Quality
§ Creation and management of sustainable vocabularies. Vocabulary curation
§ Research tools and solutions to free/open vocabularies
§ Linked Open Vocabularies and the LOD Cloud
Those interested in submitting an article should send papers before March,
4th 2013. Full articles should be between 4000 and 8000 words. References
