Call for papers for Sepublica 2014 (May 25th afternoon session), an ESWC workshop. http://sepublica.info Dates: Submission Deadline: March 14, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 5, 2014 Camera-Ready: April 15, 2014 Semantic publishing should be central to the openness that has been embraced by scholarly communication, e-science, data journalism, e-government and across many other domains. This openness implies deep changes in making the semantics of the data available for integration, consumption and analysis. Researchers are moving from a purely narrative based communication into a narrative supported by data; this support will be enhanced by semantic descriptions. Such a shift makes an impact on all layers of scholarly publishing; data needs to be archived and kept readily available and interoperable. Scholars across many disciplines are involved in an important shift in their communication practices; reproducibility, smart data storage, intelligent use of the Web as a platform and not solely as a dissemination channel, business intelligence for e-science content and many others are currently a matter of debate in the academic community. Experimental data in scientific disciplines is a Big Data problem; how can we make effective use of scientific data, how should it be semantically represented, interlinked, reused, how can experiments in scientific publications be represented effectively? How can the gap between publications and data repositories be bridged? We are interested, but not limited to, in addressing issues such as: How could we realize a paper with an API? How could we have a paper as a database, as a knowledge base? ○ How is the paper an interface, gateway, to the web of data? How could such an interface be delivered in a contextual manner? ○ How are news agencies adopting technologies in support of their publications? Has the delivered technology been adopted? What are the experiences from news agencies been so far? Lessons learnt. ○ How could RDF(a) and ontologies be used to represent the knowledge encoded in scientific documents and in general-interest media publications? ○ Connecting scientific publications with underlying research data sets ○ Shouldn't we move from the bibliographic reference to the full content within a linked environment? ○ Ontology-based visualization of scientific data ○ Provenance, quality, privacy and trust of scientific information ○ Linked Data for dissemination and archiving of research results, for collaboration and research networks, and for research assessment ○ Formal representations of scientific data; ontologies for scientific information ○ What ontologies do we need for representing structural elements in a document? ○ How can we capture the semantics of rhetorical structures in scholarly communication, and of hypotheses and scientific evidence? ○ Integration of quantitative and qualitative scientific information ○ Case studies on linked science, i.e., astronomy, biology, environmental and socio-economic impacts of global warming, statistics, environmental monitoring, cultural heritage, etc. Submission https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sepublica2014 Research papers are limited to 12 pages and position papers to 5 pages. For system/demo descriptions, a paper of minimum 2 pages, maximum 5 pages should be submitted. Late-breaking news should be one page maximum; the deadline for late breaking news is the 5th of April. All papers and system descriptions should be formatted according to the LNCS format. For submissions that are not in the LNCS PDF format, 400 words count as one page. Submissions that exceed the page limit will be in risk of being rejected without review. -- Alexander Garcia http://www.alexandergarcia.name/ http://www.usefilm.com/photographer/75943.html http://www.linkedin.com/in/alexgarciac
