(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd Int. Workshop on Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage (SW4CH’17), http://SW4CH2017.ensma.fr/ in conjunction with ADBIS’2017 / Nicosia, Cyprus / September 24-27, 2017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Proceedings to be published (online) by Springer *** *** Best papers to be published in a journal (ISI indexed) special issue*** IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: April 7, 2017 * Paper notification: June 2, 2017 * Camera-ready paper: June 25, 2017 * Workshop: September 24, 2017 OVERVIEW Cultural Heritage is gaining a lot of attention from academic and industry perspectives. Scientific researchers, organizations, associations, schools are looking for relevant technologies for annotating, integrating, sharing, accessing, visualizing, analyzing the mine of cultural data, taking also into account profiles and preferences of end users. Several national (CATCH in the Netherlands, FinnONTO in Finland, and KMM in Sweden, PATRIMA in France, etc.) and European programmes (EUROPEANA, PARTHENOS) have been launched to these directions. If most of cultural information systems developed in these programmes begin to process data based on the syntactic, or structural level, without leveraging the rich semantic structures underlying the content, during the last decade Semantic Web solutions have also been proposed to explicit these semantics structures and make them machine operable and interoperable. In parallel, resources such as the CIDOC-CRM’s ecosystem have matured. As institutions bring their data to the Semantic Web level, the tasks of data integrating, sharing, mining, analyzing, visualizing, etc. are now to be conceived in this new and very rich framework. Several large conferences on Semantic Web exist, and several large conferences on Digital Humanities including Cultural Heritage topics exist. As data is at the core of Cultural Heritage systems, this is ADBIS, a conference centered on database and information system topics, who host the Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage workshop. It is intended to be a forum for interdisciplinary research teams, involved in Semantic Web solutions for Cultural Heritage. Interdisciplinarity is mandatory, as the Semantic Web is a matter of computer, information and data scientists, while the Cultural Heritage field brings together actors from various Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines. In this novel collaboration space, it is crucial to have places and times to meet, share and discuss methods, tools, knowledge and understanding from different points of views. TOPICS We seek original and high quality submissions related (but not limited) to one or more of the following topics: Ontologies and Vocabularies for Cultural Heritage - User Requirements life cycle for Cultural Heritage - Vocabularies, thesauri, metadata schemas, and ontologies - Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction - Ontology creation, extraction, and evolution - Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment - Use and development of standards, such as SKOS, etc. - Developments and applications of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) - Virtual Cultural Heritage collections - Integration of virtual and physical collections - Ontology design patterns for Cultural Heritage Interaction, explicitation of Semantics of Cultural Heritage - Search, query, and visualization of the Cultural Heritage on the Semantic Web - Search of virtual and integrated Cultural Heritage collections - Personalized access of Cultural Heritage collections - Contex-aware information presentation - Navigation and browsing - Facet browsers - Interactive user interfaces - Social aspects in Cultural Heritage access and presentation - Trust and provenance issues in mixed collection and mixed vocabulary applications Usage and application of Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage - Creative industries - Tourist services - Museums - Digital Libraries - Integration of virtual and physical collections - Ambient Cultural Heritage - Mobile museum guides - Web-based museum guides - Applications with clear lessons learned Knowledge discovery, semantic web Cultural Heritage architectures - Reasoning strategies (e.g. contextual, temporal, spatial) - Machine learning and NLP techniques - Cultural Heritage services - Peer-to-peer Cultural Heritage architectures - E-infrastructures for Cultural Heritage SUBMISSION INFORMATION Authors are invited to submit unpublished original work. Submitted papers must be writen in LateX, use the LNCS style http://www.springer.com/series/11156 (see the link "Instructions for Authors" in the right hand side), and may not exceed 10 pages.
