Re: Joint SDW paper

Hi Linda,

I’m not active in the BP group either, but, I would be happy to contribute. However, seeing from the vast response, there may already be too many cooks in the kitchen. Maybe you want to restrict the author list to the people who made commits to the BP document (which would exclude me). That could potentially be a best practice for future articles based on other deliverables of the working group, although not a perfect measure, of course.

Best regards,
Armin

Hi all,

As I announced at the very end of the telecon yesterday, I’m preparing a paper about the SDW BP. Payam and I prepared an abstract and TOC, and want to try getting it published in Semantic Web Journal. Of course the work we’ll be writing about is done by all of you, so I want to list as many of you as possible as co-authors. I even started adding everyone on https://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=75471&public=1 but there’s about fifty names there…

So what I want to do is at least list the BP editors; followed by any participant in this group who tells me they want to be listed as author and contribute something. A contribution could be actually writing a bit of text for the paper, or reviewing (a section of) the paper, participate in discussions on the paper, give some input for the paper, or just having been active on the BP work in this group.

In addition we’ll put an acknowledgement in the paper (a first draft of that is already in the abstract). But I really don’t want anyone to feel left out so _please_ don’t hesitate to let me know if you want to be listed as an author! Just a reply with a simple ‘yes’ is enough.

The abstract of the paper is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CAtrBt1P8TMtZDrZYU2Q9-RmtzeWxwl-iEMFfLn2uqg/edit?usp=sharing
