	Subject: DC-2009 Conference: Call for Papers [Reminder]

	Hello all, 

	Apologies for cross-posting.  The deadline for papers is a month
away. 
	Please share this with interested colleagues and students.

	Papers are invited for the Ninth International Conference on
Dublin Core and Metadata Applications (DC-2009). This year, DC-2009 will
be held in Seoul, Korea, from October 12th to 16th. This year's theme is
"Semantic Interoperability of Linked Data."

	http://www.dc2009.kr/

	Conference Theme

	DC-2009 will focus on linked data and the enabling of the
Semantic Web. Conference participants will explore the conceptual and
practical issues in breaking the constraints of data silos and
connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge. Metadata is a key
to these processes supporting publishing and interlinking structured
data on the Semantic Web. 

	The basic assumption behind the concept of linked data is that
the value and usefulness of data increases the more it is interlinked
with other data. There is a growing interest in the metadata community
in connecting existing and future data contained in silos within and
across organizations in a meaningful way that supports extraction and
correlation of the data. The linking of data from disparate data silos
presents technical and social challenges that will be explored at
DC-2009 through full papers, project reports, posters, special sessions
and workshops. 

	Beyond the conference theme, papers, reports, and poster
submissions are welcome on a wide range of metadata topics, such as: 

	*	Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
	*	Metadata quality, normalization, and mapping
	*	Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
	*	Application profiles
	*	Metadata interoperability across domains, languages, and
time
	*	Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping,
preservation, institutional repositories)
	*	Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory
institutions, education, government, and scientific fields)
	*	Bibliographic standards (e.g., RDA, FRBR, subject
headings) as Semantic Web vocabularies
	*	Accessibility metadata
	*	Metadata for scientific data
	*	Metadata in e-Science and grid applications
	*	Social tagging
	*	Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., ontologies,
taxonomies, authority files, folksonomies, and thesauri) and Simple
Knowledge Organization Systems (SKOS)
	*	Ontology design and development
	*	Integration of metadata and ontologies
	*	Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
	*	Search engines and metadata
	*	Semantic Web metadata and applications
	*	Vocabulary registries and registry services

	<http://www.dc2009.kr/sub/cfs_ucallp_01.php> Submission

	All full paper, project report and poster submissions to the
DC-2009 Conference Proceedings will be peer-reviewed by the
International Program Committee. All submissions must be in English.
Accepted submissions will be published in both the official electronic
and print versions of the Conference Proceedings. 

	The Committee is soliciting contributions of the following three
types: 

	FULL PAPERS (8-10 pages) 

	Full papers either describe innovative original work in detail
or provide critical, well-referenced overviews of key developments or
good practice in the areas outlined above. Full papers will be assessed
using the following criteria: 

	*	Originality of the approach to implementation
	*	Generalizability of the methods and results described
	*	Quality of the contribution to the implementation
community
	*	Significance of the results presented
	*	Clarity of presentation

	Accepted papers must be presented in Seoul by at least one of
their authors. 

	PROJECT REPORTS (4-5 pages) 

	Project reports describe a specific model, application, or
activity in a concise, prescribed format. Project reports will be
assessed using the following criteria: 

	*	Conciseness and completeness of technical description
	*	Usability of the technical description by other
potential implementers
	*	Clarity of presentation

	Accepted papers and projects will be published in both the
official electronic and the paper versions of the Proceedings. Accepted
project reports must be presented in Seoul by at least one of their
authors. 

	POSTERS (1-2 pages) 

	Posters are for the presentation of projects or research under
development or late-breaking results. Poster proposals should consist of
a one-two page extended abstract. Posters will be assessed using the
following criteria: 

	*	Concise statement of research or project goals and
milestones
	*	Significance of the research or project
	*	Framing of key barriers and future research
	*	Statement of results and accomplishments
	*	Clarity of presentation

	Accepted posters will be published in the Conference Proceedings
and displayed at the conference. Accepted posters must be presented in
Seoul by at least one of their authors.
