*Workshop Aims and Scope *

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


DaMaLOS explores requirements for digital research objects (e.g., data,
software, workflows, ro-crates) and their corresponding management plans to
effectively instantiate an integrated layer supporting Linked Open Science
(i.e., Open Science plus Linked Open Data). DaMaLOS welcomes contributions
aligned to the following topics: machine-actionable DMPs and SMPs;
machine/deep learning approaches around rich metadata; FAIRification; FAIR
by design; FAIR tooling; recognition, publication, and citation for data,
software, and other research digital objects, and scientometrics beyond the
scholarly publication (i.e., combining the different digital objects
playing a role in the research cycle).



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

*Workshop Topics*

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



   - Research management
      - Importance, automatization, and connections across Research Data
      and Software (and other digital objects) Management for Linked
Open Science
      (LOS, i.e., Open Science + Linked Open Data principles)
      - Special features/metadata required in research management plans for
      LOS
      - Extensions to current RDM plans to better support LOS
   - FAIRness and FAIRification
      - Integration/alignment between FAIR and research management plans
      - FAIRification processes, either by design or post-research-object
      creation
      - FAIR tooling, e.g., evaluators, extensions, governance
   - Open Science and Scientometrics
      - Benefits of LOS over Open Science
      - How research plans and LOS can be used to improve collection and
      storage of (usually volatile) data produced at, e.g., conferences
      - Integration of software, data, and other research outcomes into
      science-related metrics

*Submission Details*

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


This year DaMaLOS welcomes submissions in the form of long (up to 12 pages)
and short (up to 6 pages) research papers, research objects (up to 6
pages), position papers (up to 6 pages), demos (up to 3 pages), posters (up
to 3 pages).

All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to
another journal or conference/workshop. All submissions must be in English.
Proceedings of the workshop will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0

All workshop submissions should be done via EasyChair DaMaLOS-2023 workshop
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=damalos2023>.

   - Full research papers (up to 12 pages): Presenting novel scientific
   research
   - Short research papers (up to 6 pages): Presenting research results at
   early stages
   - Research objects (up to 6 pages): Describing datasets, software,
   workflows, and training materials together with their metadata
   - Position papers (up to 6 pages): Introducing positions, ideas,
   opinions, and discussions around a topic
   - Demos (up to 3 pages): Presenting tools (software, workflows) from a
   practical perspective
   - Posters (up to 3 pages): Presenting works in a graphical display


Accepted papers will go to the proceedings of the workshop and will be
publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license at PUBLISSO FRL
<https://repository.publisso.de/> indexed by LIVIVO <https://www.livivo.de/>
and DBLP <https://dblp.org/search?q=damalos>. PUBLISSO mints DOIs and
provides a fast publication process that will allow us to have the
proceedings ready right after the conference, including slides. Accepted
workshop papers will be later invited to submit an extended and improved
version to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS
<https://jbiomedsem.biomedcentral.com/>).
