Hi Valentina,

I find the submission guidelines of this workshop to be super awkward.
Has the organising committee considered to pay-it-forward by making it
possible for its *clientele* to make their contributions via formats
that are native to the Web? In contrast to what the workshop is
currently promoting and setting constraints with desktop/print centric
formats like PDF. Certainly Springer LNCS's view is inappropriate to box
all content into one size fits all. Do we use a single visualisation
method for all data?

Is the workshop's clientele not up to par to represent, publish and
disseminate their knowledge via native Web standards? Would you consider
the possibility that perhaps this workshop should take the
responsibility to enable and encourage such behaviour? Is there anything
the workshop requires to make this a reality? Are you open to it?

Imagine what type of visualisations would be possible based on its own
academic output. Here are some basic examples for whatever it is worth:

An article with accompanying citations, annotations, arguments etc:

Complete output of statements and interlinks among different types of
articles (spec, test report, academic article, implementation). See thread:

hasPart/citations among three articles from different domains:

Contrast that with how far dead-weight PDFs gets us.

Care to help make this happen?

Would you consider thinking in terms of *articles* instead of *papers*?
