[MEI-L] Final Call for Papers: MTSR 2014

Tue Jul 29 20:52:53 CEST 2014

MEI would probably be a good fit here if anyone's interested in submitting a paper.  Note, however, the very short deadline. (Or am I just the last to know about these things?)

 -----------------------------

Part of the 8th International Conference on Metadata and Semantic Research
(MTSR 2014), 27 - 29 November 2014, Karlsruhe, Germany

Submission deadline: *New Deadline!* July 31st, 2014

Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series

*AIM AND SCOPE*

Cultural Heritage collections are essential knowledge infrastructures that
provide a solid representation of the historical background of human
communities. These knowledge infrastructures are constructed from and
integrate cultural information derived from diverse memory institutions,
mainly museums, archives and libraries. Each individual community has spent
a lot of effort in order to develop, support and promote its own metadata
as tools for the description and dissemination of cultural information,
mainly related to its particular resources and use.

The exposure of cultural information into the Semantic Web makes clear that
metadata have to be accurate and deeply interpretable in the semantic
level. Conceptual Reference Models could facilitate these procedures since
they constitute conceptualizations - according to the specific point of
view of a memory institution or its particular community - providing at the
same time the context for interpreting the respecting metadata to their
domain of discourse. CRMs have also been viewed as global schemata in order
to map different metadata specifications. At the same time, there are also
inter-domain efforts targeted to semantically align data (research data,
educational data, public sector information etc.) to cultural information.
The management of the cultural information provides challenges associated
with (i) metadata modeling, specification, standardization, extraction,
evaluation, mapping, integration and effective use, (ii) knowledge
representation as conceptualization to provide the context for
unambiguously interpreting metadata, and (iii) information integration from
different contexts for the provision of integrated access and advanced
services to the users.

The aim of this Special Track is to maintain a dialogue where researchers
and practitioners working on all the aspects of the cultural information
will come together and exchange ideas about open issues in all stages of
the metadata life cycle. The track also welcomes works for the connection
and interlinking of the Cultural Heritage metadata to any other dataset
published in the Semantic Web universe.

*TOPICS*

The papers in this special track should be original and of high quality,
addressing issues in areas such as:

   - Cultural heritage metadata models, standards, interoperability,
   mappings and integration
   - Automated metadata extraction
   - Ontologies and knowledge representation for the cultural heritage
   domain
   - Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from Cultural Heritage
   collections
   - Collection models and item - collection relationships representation
   - Collection - level metadata modeling and management
   - Linked open data approaches for the cultural heritage domain
   - Composite content-discovery and management of components and
   interrelationships
   - Large volume content management - high resolution image data sets
   - 3D models-indexing, storage and retrieval approaches
   - Federation of repositories/data infrastructures
   - Integration of intra or inter disciplinary heterogeneous resources
   - Infrastructures for sharing content
   - Digital Curation workflows and models
   - Preservation metadata for cultural heritage digital objects
   - Metadata quality metrics
   - Case studies

*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES*
