ECIR is the main European forum for the presentation of new research results in the field of Information Retrieval (IR). ECIR encourages the submission of high quality research papers reporting original, previously unpublished results. With the rapidly increasing amount of data produced in the world and the increasing adoption of IR techniques beyond the traditional search for documents, papers on IR applied to eScience and to the Internet of Things are particularly encouraged. ECIR has a strong student focus, hence papers whose sole or main author is a postgraduate student are especially welcome. Through the student mentoring programme, PhD students can request the assistance of a mentor, who can give advice and suggest improvements to an almost complete paper. More details on the student mentoring programme are on the website. Full Papers and Short Papers ---------------------------- We are seeking the submission of high-quality and original full papers, short papers and demos. Submissions will be reviewed by experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of the results, chosen methodology, writing quality and the overall contribution to the field of IR. Short Paper submissions addressing any of the areas identified in the conference topics are also invited. Authors are encouraged to describe work in progress and late-breaking research results. Demonstrations -------------- Demonstrations present research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for papers on the ECIR website. The demonstration submission should address clear research questions like: What problem does my system solve? Who is my target user? Demonstrations that make their source code freely available are especially encouraged. We ask all authors to either provide a URL to a live online version of their demo or, alternatively, provide a URL to a video showcasing the main features of their demo. Tutorials --------- Tutorials inform the community on recent advances in core IR research, related research, or on novel application areas related to IR. They may focus on specific problems or specific domains in which IR research may be applied. Tutorials can be of either a half-day (3 hours plus breaks) or a full day (6 hours plus breaks) duration. Tutorials are encouraged to be as interactive as possible. The information required for a tutorial proposal is on the conference website. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the tutorial committee. A summary of the tutorial will be published in the conference proceedings. Workshops --------- The purpose of workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and research results in a focused and more interactive way. Workshops can be of either a half-day (3 hours plus breaks) or a full day (6 hours plus breaks) duration. Workshops are encouraged to be as dynamic and interactive as possible and should lead to a concrete outcome, such as the publication of a summary paper and/or workshop proceedings. The information required for a workshop proposal is on the conference website. Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the workshop committee. A summary of the workshop will be published in the conference proceedings. Reproducible IR Research Track ------------------------------ We are happy to announce the Reproducible IR Research Track introduced at ECIR 2015 will continue for ECIR 2016. Reproducibility is key for establishing research to be reliable, referenceable and extensible for the future. Experimental papers are therefore most useful when their results can be tested and generalised by peers. This track specifically invites submission of papers reproducing a single or a group of papers, from a third-party where you have *not* been directly involved (e.g., *not* been an author or a collaborator). Emphasise your motivation for selecting the paper/papers, the process of how results have been attempted to be reproduced (successful or not), the communication that was necessary to gather all information, the potential difficulties encountered and the result of the process. A successful reproduction of the work is not a requirement, but it is important to provide a clear and rigid evaluation of the process to allow lessons to be learned for the future. Submission guidelines --------------------- All submissions must be written in English following the ECIR guidelines (http://irsg.bcs.org/proceedings/ECIR_Draft_Guidelines.pdf) and the LNCS author guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) and submitted electronically through the conference submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecir2016 selecting the proper track. Full papers must not exceed 12 pages, short papers must not exceed 6 pages, demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages, reproducible IR track papers must not exceed 12 pages, including references and figures. Full paper, short paper and reproducible IR track paper submissions will be refereed through double-blind peer review. Demonstration papers will undergo single-blind review. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will be published in the conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the Conference. Accepted full papers, short papers, demos and reproducible IR track papers will have to be presented at the conference. Short papers and reproducible IR track papers will either be presented as a poster or as an oral presentation. Accepted workshops and tutorials will have a 4 pages summary published in the conference proceedings. ================ IMPORTANT DATES ================ Papers ------ 09 October 2015 - Full/Short Paper submission deadline 09 October 2015 - Reproducible IR Track submission deadline 23 October 2015 - Demo submission deadline 04 December 2015 - Notification on Full Papers, Short Papers, Demos, Reproducible IR Track Papers 11 January 2016 - Camera-ready Mentoring --------- 07 August 2015 - Request for mentoring deadline 21 August 2015 - Mentor assignment deadline Workshops / Tutorials --------------------- 11 September 2015 - Workshops / Tutorials submission deadline 19 October 2015 - Notification on Workshops / Tutorials ======= TOPICS ======= Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * IR Theory and Practice - Searching, browsing, meta-searching - Data fusion, filtering and indexing - Language models, probabilistic IR, neural network based models - Learning to rank - Content classification, categorisation, clustering - Relevance feedback, query expansion, faceted retrieval - Topic detection and tracking, novelty detection - Recommender systems - Content-based filtering, collaborative filtering - Spam detection and filtering - Personalised, collaborative or user-adaptive IR - Adversarial IR - Privacy in IR - Contextual IR - Mobile, Geo and local search - Temporal IR, time-based modelling - Entity IR * Web and Social Media IR - Link analysis - Query log analysis - Advertising and ad targeting - Spam detection - Trust, authority, reputation, ranking - Blog and online-community search, microblogs - Social search - Social tagging - Social networking and Web based communities - Trend identification and tracking - Time series and forecasting * User aspects - User modelling, user studies, user interaction and history - Interactive IR - Task-based IR - Click models - Novel user interfaces for IR systems - Visualisation of queries, search results or content - Multimodal aspects, multimodal querying * IR system architectures - Distributed and peer to peer IR - Cloud IR - Federated IR - Aggregated Search - Fusion/Combination - Open, interoperable and flexible systems - Performance, scalability, efficiency - Architectures and platforms - Crawling and indexing - Compression, optimisation - Map/Reduce for IR * Content representation and processing - IR for semi-structured documents - IR for semantically annotated collections, semantic search - Reasoning for IR - Meta information and structures, metadata - Query representation, query reformulation - Text categorisation and clustering - Text data mining - Opinion mining, sentiment analysis, argumentation mining - Cross-language retrieval, multilingual retrieval - Machine translation for IR - Question answering - Natural language processing - Summarization for IR * Evaluation - Evaluation methods and metrics - Building test collections - Experimental design - Crowdsourcing for evaluation, human computing - User-oriented and user-centred test and evaluation - Metric comparison and evaluation - Offline vs online evaluation * Multimedia and cross-media IR - Speech retrieval - Image and video retrieval - Entity retrieval - Digital music, radio and broadcast retrieval - Virtual reality and information access - Cross-modal processing and search * Applications - Digital libraries - Enterprise and intranet search - Desktop search - Mobile IR - Genomic IR, IR for chemical structures - Medical IR - Legal IR, patent search - eScience - The Internet of Things =========== ORGANIZERS =========== General Chair: - Nicola Ferro, University of Padua, Italy Programme Chairs: - Fabio Crestani, University of Lugano (USI), Switzerland - Marie-Francine Moens, KU Leuven, Belgium Short Paper Chairs: - Josiane Mothe, ESPE, IRIT, Universit? de Toulouse, France - Fabrizio Silvestri, Yahoo!

With the increasing emphasis on impact in and around information science, the theme provides us with an opportunity to consider some of the ways in which we define ourselves as a Classification Research group and how we understand our research to affect and influence theory and practice. Classification matters not only in the functioning of information systems and technologies, but also in the lived experiences of individuals, and in society, organizations, and all information contexts. The spate of violent events in the U.S., together with the resistance and response, quickens a crucial set of questions about the nature of our work. This workshop aims to cast such violence as a knowledge organization problem. We also aim to consider whether and how classificatory acts and systems can be reparative, or even transformative: What bearing does the structuring of knowledge have upon the seeking, reception, circulation, and use of knowledge and information? Do classifications tell us something about agendas, political contexts, or authority? What role do our classification systems play in constituting, and challenging categories of difference? In what ways have communities used and/or challenged classifications in civic action and protest? We welcome papers that address positive or negative and intended or unintended consequences of classification, as well as papers and projects that explore potential and possibilities for classification systems and research. Doctoral students are encouraged to submit paper/presentation proposals, and two scholarships covering workshop fees will be awarded to student authors. We also invite presentations and posters of classification design projects in any stage of development, as well as nontraditional presentation formats. We are interested in work that addresses questions and issues such as the following: ? Encounters with classification in daily life, on- and off-line ? Material effects of classifications, e.g., how do classifications bar or grant access to information, and in what ways does this matter? ? Structures and hierarchies and their effects and consequences ? Design and aesthetics in classifications ? Consequences of specific systems or types of systems, e.g., thesauri, universal classifications, folksonomies ? Reparative/transformative classifications ? Classification research as it relates to diversity initiatives ? Limitations and possibilities for assessing impact of classifications ? The role of classifications in constituting and ordering value in information science, i.e., how measurements of impact rely upon the classification and ranking of what counts as research, users, and knowledge ? Critical / theoretical discussions of classifications, e.g., critical race studies, queer theory, disability studies ? Classificatory mechanisms as tools for building or dividing communities ? Classifications as reflections of agencies, nations, individuals, or organizations ? Classifications in particular contexts, e.g., health information, libraries, archives, the Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, social media, etc. ? Knowledge organization in scientific and political debates, e.g. climate change ? The construction of users (user types, user communities, user identities) through classification Deadlines: August 20, 2015: Submit abstracts of no more than 500 words for a paper, poster, or alternative format presentation to Melissa Adler: melissa.adler at uky.edu Include your name, title, and institutional affiliation with your submission.

Guest editors * Amrapali Zaveri, University of Leipzig, AKSW Group, Germany * Dimitris Kontokostas, University of Leipzig, AKSW Group, Germany * Sebastian Hellmann, University of Leipzig, AKSW Group, Germany * J?rgen Umbrich, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria *Overview and Topics* The standardization and adoption of Semantic Web technologies has resulted in a variety of assets, including an unprecedented volume of data being semantically enriched and systems and services, which consume or publish this data. Although gathering, processing and publishing data is a step towards further adoption of Semantic Web, quality does not yet play a central role in these assets (e.g., data lifecycle, system/service development). Quality management essentially refers to activities and tasks involved to guarantee a certain level of consistency and to meet the quality requirements for the assets. In general, quality management consists of the following four phases and components: (i) quality planning, (ii) quality control, (iii) quality assurance and (iv) quality improvement. The quality planning phase in the Semantic Web typically involves the design of procedures, strategies and policies to support the management of the assets. The quality control and assurance components have their primary aim in preventing errors and to meet quality requirements pertaining to the Semantic Web standards. A core part for both components are quality assessment methods which provide the necessary input for the controlling and assurance tasks. Quality assessment of Semantic Web Assets (data, services and systems), in particular, presents new challenges that were not handled before in other research areas. Thus, adopting existing approaches for data quality assessment is not a straightforward solution. These challenges are related to the openness of the Semantic Web, the diversity of the information and the unbounded, dynamic set of autonomous data sources, publishers and consumers (legal and software agents). Additionally, detecting the quality of available data sources and making the information explicit is yet another challenge. Moreover, noise in one data set, or missing links between different data sets, propagates throughout the Web of Data, and imposes great challenges on the data value chain. In case of systems and services, different implementations follow the specifications for RDF and SPARQL to varying extents, or even propose and offer new, non-standardized extensions. This causes strong incompatibilities between systems, e.g., between the used SPARQL features in the query engines and support features in RDF stores. The potential heterogeneity and incompatibility poses several challenges for the quality assessments in and for such systems and services. Eventually, quality improvement methods are used to further enhance the value of the Semantic Web Assets. One important step to improve the quality of data is identifying the root cause of the problem and then designing corresponding data improvement solutions. These solutions select the most effective and efficient strategies and related set of techniques and tools to improve quality. Quality improvement metrics for products and services entails understanding and improving operational processes and establishing valid and reliable service performance measures. This Special Issue is addressed to those members of the community interested in providing novel methodologies or frameworks in managing, assessing, monitoring, maintaining and improving the quality of the Semantic Web data, services and systems and also introduce tools and user interfaces which can effectively assist in this management. Topics of Interest We welcome original high quality submissions on (but are not restricted to) the following topics: * Methodologies and frameworks to plan, control, assure or improve the quality of Semantic Web Assets * Quality exploration and analysis interfaces * Quality monitoring * Developing, deploying and managing quality service ecosystems * Assessing the quality evolution of Semantic Web Assets * Large-scale quality assessment of structured datasets * Crowdsourcing data quality assessment * Quality assessment leveraging background knowledge * Use-case driven quality management * Evaluation of trustworthiness of data * Web Data and LOD quality benchmarks * Data Quality improvement methods and frameworks, e.g., linkage, alignment, cleaning, enrichment, correctness * Service/system quality improvement methods and frameworks * Managing sustainability issues in services * Guarantee of service (availability, performance) * Systems for transparent management of open data -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dr. Worrall earned his PhD (2014) and MLIS (2008) from the Florida State University School of Information. His research looks at the relationships between information-centric communities, information and communication technologies (ICTs), and the information behavior of their users. ?I incorporate social informatics and information behavior perspectives to focus on the boundaries that may exist between communities, especially online,? Adam said, ?and the roles that individual boundary spanners and ICTs can play in supporting information and knowledge sharing in these contexts.? His recent doctoral research looked at social digital libraries and the roles they play in supporting information behaviors and activities taking place within, between, and across multiple communities. Adam is also interested in research into scientific collaboration, social media, and social and community theories in library and information science (LIS). He has published collaborative research articles in the?Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Library and Information Science Research, and?Information Research, and is active in presenting his work at conferences and in service to the profession, particularly with the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). Adam's teaching interests include topics in information behavior, information technology, social informatics, and research methods. He brings well-regarded face-to-face and online teaching experiences as a doctoral student and adjunct faculty at Florida State University to his new role at SLIS, where he will teach LIS 501 Foundations of LIS online for the Fall 2015 term. ______________________________________________________ 1.

Special Editors: Michael Zimmer and Anna L. Hoffmann 2015 marks 10 years since the publication of ?What Is Web 2.0?? [1], Tim O?Reilly?s influential declaration of Web 2.0?s practical and conceptual underpinnings. In the intervening years, the popularity of Web 2.0 as a descriptive term has waxed and waned. At the same time, however, the platforms, principles, and ideologies that ushered in the Web 2.0 Era have only grown in their relevance: concerns over labor and social production have persisted in, for example, critical discussions of personal data ownership or the ?sharing economy;? questions of exploitation and dominance are increasingly pressing in the face of the power and reach exhibited by companies like Google, Facebook, or Twitter; as knowledge platforms like Wikipedia have flourished, so have concerns over diminished critical-thinking skills and the monopolization of knowledge; and, finally, critical attention to the (often tenuous) relationship between democracy and participatory platforms remains vital to understanding the power of social media tools for facilitating social and political protest at the same time as it enables new opportunities for surveillance and political repression. In addition, while social networking sites and tools have provided unparalleled opportunities to connect, communicate, and share, they?ve also given rise to problems of identity management, cyberbullying, revenge porn, and (sometimes cruel) practices of trolling. Under various guises, Web 2.0 has retained an ability to expand social, political, and economic opportunity while at the same time fostering resistance and controversy in its reach and ideological commitments. In 2008, First Monday published a special issue on ?Critical Perspectives on Web 2.0? [2] bringing together a diverse group of scholars to ?expose, explore and explain the ideological meanings and the social, political, and ethical implications of Web 2.0?. These contributions addressed issues of labor, privacy, exploitation, and broader conceptual and practical implications of participatory platforms and social production online. In light of Web 2.0?s continued relevance and impact, we are pleased to edit a new special issue of First Monday ? A Decade of Web 2.0: Reflections, Critical Perspectives, and Beyond ? that aims to update and extend previous critical assessments of online social and participatory platforms and practices. We seek submissions from a broad array of disciplines and perspectives representing a diverse collection topics, including, but not limited to: ? identity and pseudonymity ? algorithms and the filter bubble ? exercise of power and protest ? social media and democracy ? privacy and data flows ? memes and virality ? labor and exploitation ? commodification and corporatization ? content production and appropriation ? cyberbullying and online harassment ? law and regulatory interventions ? social data and research ethics In addition, we especially encourage submissions that examine the above (or other) issues as they intersect with issues of race, gender, sexuality, disability, or socioeconomic status. Timeline: ? Extended Abstracts Due: September 1, 2015 ? Feedback from Editors: October 1, 2015 ? Full Submissions Due: February 1, 2016 ? Peer Review Feedback: April 1, 2016 ? Final Submissions Due: May 15, 2016 ?

Dr. Chen?s expertise covers the areas of Information Technology and Systems, and Digital Librarianship. Dr. Chen?s research interests focus on the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to assist users in accessing and using information in different environments. His interest in these areas are guided in part by his previous experience as an art teacher and school librarian in Taiwan and a faculty member in higher education. Dr. Chen has studied how college students search for art historical images to complete their course assignments, how museum practitioners use images for their job duties, how system designers should design online mathematics digital libraries for K-12 math education, and how college students learn from multimedia materials in an online information literacy class. Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 1999, MA in Educational Communication and Technology from New York University in 1995, and BA in Library Science from Fu-Jen Catholic University in Taiwan in 1985. *Dr. Vincent M. Livoti *joined the Palmer School faculty in the Fall of 2014. Dr. Livoti is a Boston-area native. Prior to his arrival in New York he lived in Portland, Maine and worked for the University of Maine as an Assistant Professor. He previously taught in the Graduate School of Education at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he also managed the Kresge Center for Teaching Resources. Dr. Livoti is an alumnus of both Simmons College and Massachusetts State University. He moved to London for graduate studies before beginning his interdisciplinary doctoral research. Having previously worked with Harvard University, The Museum of Science, Boston Children?s Museum and the Boston Center for Adult Education, Dr. Livoti brings a diverse range of human service experience to the Palmer School. As a human service worker with over ten years in the field, Dr. Livoti is engaged with advocating for the underserved in the information sphere as well as scholarship exploring the expanding role of sexual minorities in American culture. Dr. Livoti specializes in social action research and the underserved, inclusion practice and cultural competency, media analysis and information literacy, LGBT studies and queer theory, the diversification of resources for library and information centers, and youth services and developmental resources. In spring 2015 Dr. Livoti revised the Palmer School?s Children?s and Young Adult Services curriculum. Dr. Livoti enjoys contemporary art and film, as well as exploring the expanses of Long Island?s natural beauty. *Dr. Wei Xiong* will join the Palmer School of Library and Information Science as an assistant professor in Fall 2015. Prior to LIU, he served as an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Information Systems at Northwest Missouri State University. Dr. Xiong holds a dual-bachelor's degree in Software Engineering and Marketing from Hubei University of Economics, an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Information Systems from New Jersey Institute of Technology. Dr. Xiong's teaching interests include data mining (big data and its applications), information representation and retrieval, and digital libraries. His research involves a wide range of data mining applications in different domains, including behavioral-targeted advertising in business, automatic document classification in digital libraries, and early alert system for online course instructors in academia. He has worked as a data scientist in industry and has a funded grant proposal on data mining research. Dr. Xiong is teaching a special topics course in Data Mining for the Information Professional in the Fall 2015. He is working on creating two courses focused on Information Analytics for the Spring 2016. Please join me in welcoming our newest faculty members to the Palmer School. Valeda F.

Mahmudul Hasan (Harokopio University of Athens, Kallithea, Greece) The idea of Information and Communication Technology for development (ICT4D) has been gathering momentum since last decade. It contributes to the development of social, political, and economic growth of the underprivileged group of populations especially in the context of developing countries. Requirements Engineering (RE) is the most sensitive from all other activities involve in the ICT4D project development. This paper reports on a literature review of published ICT4D research and provides an analysis of the requirements design issues in ICT4D project development in terms of functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and user requirements. The analysis of this paper can serve the ICT4D researchers and practitioners as a means of understanding the requirements design issues in ICT4D project development.

Though ICT4D is a general term referring to the application of ICT within the fields of development of a country, there are many cases where the potential benefits of ICT linked with the individual, group/community and organizational level. Considering two case studies, the authors have attempted to understand how ICT can be linked with the lives of community in rural areas of Bangladesh. They have adopted Amartya Sen's five freedoms as conceptual framework for this study. Through a quantitative perspective the authors argue that ICT projects can lead to development in general and five freedoms at particular.

It can facilitate posting content, participating in discussions, maintaining a grade book, tracking participation and managing learning activities in an online environment for instructors and learners. But question arises to what extent these systems are successful in developing countries like Bangladesh. Unfortunately there are very few reports and publication that have tried to focus on above issues. In this study, an evaluation and analysis of CMS in developing countries like Bangladesh was carried out to assess the success of the system by using "ITPOSMO' model. The study found that CMS is partially failing in higher educational institutions in Bangladesh.

This secondary research categorizes data collection challenges reported in multiple disciplines, and summarizes the guidance from the past literature to deal with the challenges. The open, axial, and selective coding of data collection challenges reported by the past literature suggests that it is necessary to manage scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, and risks for addressing the data collection challenges. This paper illustrates the ways to manage these seven dimensions using (a) the success stories of data collection in the past, (b) the lessons learned by researchers during data collection as documented by the past literature, and (c) the advice they offer for collection data from marginalized communities in developing countries.

Special issue call for papers from Aslib Journal of Information Management The influence of search engines on knowledge production This special issue, to be published in 2016, is edited by Fredrik ?str?m, Lund University (Sweden) and Dirk Lewandowski, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany). What is the focus of this special issue? Search engines are nowadays the major means for finding information. They are not only the predominant type of search tool on the Web, but Web search has also substituted other forms of searching for information outside the Web. However, search engines are not only ways of finding information, but also shape the production of both information content and knowledge. This influence can be seen at least at two levels: (1) in the process of researching information needed for producing content, (2) in producing content in a way that it intended to increase its visibility in search engines. For this special issue, we invite research papers focusing on search engines? influence on the production of both information content and knowledge, as well as content management in areas like civil society, libraries, education, scholarly communication, news, research data, knowledge organization, encyclopedias and cultural heritage. Potential topics include but are not limited to: ? Visibility as a requirement for successful content ? Qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse search engines? influence on knowledge production; the use of digital methods ? Theoretical approaches to search engines? role in knowledge production ? Knowledge production in different professional contexts (e.g., news, libraries, cultural heritage) ? Gender issues related to knowledge production ? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ? Making collections visible ? Visibility of collections in specialized search engines (e.g., Google Scholar) ? Gaming ranking systems (e.g., search engines) ? Manipulation of search engine ranking criteria ? Changing roles of knowledge-creating professionals (e.g., journalists) and organizations ? Ethical issues related to knowledge and information content production activities adapting to search engines and SEO Submissions All methodological approaches are welcome. Case studies and proof-of-concept studies should present new and unique findings and highlight future research possibilities and developments. Opinion pieces and review articles will not be considered for the special issue. Papers should be 4,000 to 9,000 words in length (including references) and in accordance with the journal?s author guidelines.

Nowadays, many scientific publications are related to or based on data which are modeled, managed and stored by means of heterogeneous formats and technologies (e.g. relational databases, digital libraries, XML, RDF, CSV, ...). Data citation allows us to establish a direct relationship between a data source and a publication or a statement relying on that data source. Being able to cite a dataset or a part of it is essential for: (i) making results of research fully available to others; (ii) enabling others to better build on previous results and to ask new questions about data; (iii) replicating, reproducing and verifying research; (iv) advancing the state of research and innovation. Furthermore, data citation is fundamental for giving credit to data creators and curators, to reference data in order to identify, discover and retrieve them and for building and propagating knowledge. Commonly data citation is paired up with traditional citation practices but data present some key differences that turn out to be serious challenges impairing the development of effective data citation methodologies: - data evolution through time; - different formats and structures: unstructured, single files, hypertext, RDF/LOD, XML, Relational DB, raw data, streaming data; - necessity to cite a subset of data; - collaborative works not structured as it happens in a scientific paper. - licensing issues: open data, limited access, credentials. - variety of systems managing data and lack of common standards and APIs In the last years several international initiatives and research projects have been facing the issues concerned with data citation, but despite all these efforts there are several crucial questions that still need to be answered. For instance: how is a data source or a subset of it to be cited? When some data from a large and complex data source is extracted, how do we create a citation? How is it possible to verify the correctness of a citation? How does one retrieve the cited data? How is it possible to maintain data consistent across time handling changes? What is the role of data citations for scholarship attribution? This Special Issue is addressed to those members of the community interested in providing novel methodologies or frameworks for managing, assessing, monitoring, maintaining and improving data citation and more in general to discuss the importance of data citation for the advancement of research. Topics ------- We welcome original submissions on (but are not restricted to) the following topics: - Principles of data citation - Relational databases, XML, CSV, Tabular data, Linked Data, RDF citation methodologies - Systems for data citation (digital libraries, relation databases, scientific databases, ...) - Computational problems in data citation - Executable/Actionable papers - Metadata for data citation - Automatic generation of citations - Machine-readable data citations - Verification of citations - Closure of citations - Citation of evolving data - Citation with variable granularity - Credit attribution - Definition and maintenance of authority lists - Reproducibility issues - Tools for data citation - Tracking the impact of data - Visualization of data citations - The use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) - Data citation for scholarship - Data sharing - Data citation for the humanities, psychology, social sciences, ... - Data citation for chemistry, physics, mathematics, ... - Licensing issues - Data journals - Relationships between traditional and data citation methods - Enrichment of LOD for citation purposes - Impact measures based on data citation - Interoperability issues in data citation - Data quality and data citation - Data curation/provenance and data citation - Long term preservation and data citation - Open access to data citation Submission guidelines --------------------- All submissions must be written in English following the ACM SIGIR author guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submitted electronically through the special issues submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeetcdldc2016 Accepted papers will be published in a dedicated issue on the IEEE Technical Committee on Digital Libraries (TCDL) Bulletin (http://www.ieee-tcdl.org/Bulletin/current/index.html).

Lab proposals will be reviewed by the lab selection committee. Organizers of selected proposals will be invited to include their lab in the CLEF 2016 lab programme, possibly subject to small suggested modifications to their proposal to better suit the CLEF lab workflow or timeline. Scope of CLEF Labs Proposals are accepted for two different types of labs: Evaluation Labs that are a "campaign-style" evaluation for specific information access problems (during the twelve month period preceding the conference), similar in nature to the traditional CLEF campaign "tracks" (see?2015 Labs ). Topics covered by campaign-style labs can be inspired by any information access-related domain or task. Labs that follow a more classical "workshop" pattern, exploring issues of evaluation methodology, metrics, processes etc. in information access and closely related fields, such as natural language processing, machine translation, and human-computer interaction. If the organizers of the proposal are new to CLEF or other shared task evaluation campaigns, we highly recommend that a lab workshop first be organized to discuss the format, the problem space, and the practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2016 programme will reserve about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions. The labs will present their overall results "overview presentations" during the plenary scientific paper sessions to allow non-participants to get a sense of where the research frontiers are moving. Organizers of each lab are expected to organize the separate sessions for their lab at the conference so that they contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers. Organizers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as panels, demos, poster sessions etc. as appropriate. CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovative lab proposals. Potential task organizers who are unsure of the suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2016 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage. Proposal Submission Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to enable to be able to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the research community, and the competence of the proposers to co-ordinate the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organizers as responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab. Proposals should be 3-4 pages long and should provide the following information: Title of the proposed lab. A brief description of the lab topic and goals, its relevance to CLEF and the significance for the field. A brief but clear statement of usage scenarios or domain to which the activity is intended to contribute, including the evaluation setup and metrics. Details on the lab organizer(s), including identifying the task chair(s) responsible for ensuring the running of the task. This should include details of any previous of involvement in organizing or participating in evaluation tasks at CLEF or similar campaigns. The planned format of the lab, i.e., campaign-style ("track") or workshop. Is the lab a continuation of an activity from previous year(s) or a new activity? For activities continued from previous year(s): Statistics from previous years (number of participants/runs for each task), a clear statement on why another edition is needed, an explicit listing of the changes proposed, and a discussion of lessons to be learned or insights to be made. For new activities: A statement on why a new evaluation campaign is needed and how the community would benefit from the activity. Details of the expected target audience, i.e., who do you expect to participate in the task(s), and how do you propose to reach them. Brief details of tasks to be carried out in the lab. The proposal should clearly motivate the need for each of the proposed tasks and provide evidence of its capability of attracting enough participation. It is fine for a lab to have a single task, but labs often contain multiple closely related tasks. Expected length of the lab session at the conference: half-day, one day, two days. This should include very high level details of planned structure of the session, e.g., participant presentations, invited speaker(s), panels, etc., to justify the requested session length. Arrangements for the organization of the lab campaign: who will be responsible for activities within the task; how will data to acquired or created, including highlighting any IP issues that need to be addressed to enable data to be distributed to lab participants; tools or methods which will be used, e.g., how will necessary queries be created or relevance assessment carried out; any other information which is relevant to the conduct of your lab. If the lab proposes to set up a steering committee to oversee and advise its activities, include names, addresses, and homepage links of people you propose to be involved. Reviewing Process Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the CLEF 2016 lab organizing committee. The decision will be sent by email to the responsible organizer by September 14, 2015. The final length of the lab session will be determined based on the overall organization of the conference and the number of participant submissions received by a lab. Organizers of accepted labs are expected to announce and briefly present their lab at the final session of CLEF 2015 in Toulouse on the 11th of September, 2015. Important Dates Final lab proposals: September 1, 2015 Notification of lab acceptance: September 14, 2015 Labs registration opening: November 2, 2015 Submission Details Lab proposals (or questions) should be submitted via e-mail (either plain text or PDF format, using "CLEF labs proposal" in the subject line) to both Lab Organizing Committee Chairs: Craig Macdonald - craig.macdonald[at]glasgow.ac.uk Krisztian Balog - krisztian.balog[at]uis.no -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This workshop will address applications of ?big data? in the humanities, arts, culture, and social science, the challenges and possibilities that such increased scale brings for scholarship in these areas. The use of computational methods in the humanities is growing rapidly, with the increasing quantities of born-digital primary sources (such as archives of emails and social media) and the large-scale digitization programs applied to libraries and archives. This has resulted in a range of experiments with new methodologies and new applications. At the same time, humanities and culture research is itself challenged by interpretative issues raised by applying such data-driven methods for answering humanities research questions. Moreover, the questions and concerns raised by the humanities themselves have consequences for the interpretation in general of ?big data? and the uses to which it is put, and the challenges of producing quality ? meaning, knowledge and value ? from quantity. The workshop will thus also address complementary research that uses the humanities and its methods to provide a critical appraisal of ?big data? in other areas, both inside and outside academia. Research topics covered: Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not restricted to, the following: * Text- and data-mining of historical and archival material. * Social media analysis, including sentiment analysis * New research objects for humanities analysis such as digital music, film * Cultural analytics * Social analytics * Crowdsourcing and big data * Cyber-infrastructures for the humanities (for instance, cloud computing) * NoSQL databases and their applications in the humanities * Big data and the construction of memory and identity * Big data and archival practice * Corpora and collections of big data * Linked Data and Big Data * Constructing big data for research in the humanities Paper Submission: * Full-length papers are accepted through the online submission system. Full papers can be up to 9 pages in length, and should be submitted as a PDF formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines. LaTex Formatting Macros. * We also encouraged submission of short papers (up to 4 pages) reporting work in progress. * All papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the Workshop Proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Important dates: * Due date for full workshop papers submission: Sep. 7, 2015 * Notification of paper acceptance to authors: Sep. 20, 2015 * Camera-ready of accepted papers: Oct. 5, 2015 * Workshop: Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015 Program Chairs: * Dr. Mark Hedges Department of Digital Humanities King?s College London, UK * Dr. Tobias Blanke Department of Digital Humanities King?s College London, UK * Prof. Richard Marciano College of Information Studies ? ?Maryland?s iSchool?

However, the cloud environment is neither transparent nor regulated. Those who create, manage, appraise, control and preserve the materials it stores, encounter problems related to ownership, provenance, and jurisdiction, among others, as they remain responsible for such materials without control, and accountable without knowledge. This Special Issue explores the challenges presented by keeping data, records and archives in the cloud, reports on research into possible solutions, examines existing and proposed policies, procedures, regulations and legislation, and describes cases of adoption of cloud models, law, contractual agreements, and technological infrastructure. This issue contains: Preface/Pr?face Luciana Duranti http://bit.ly/cjils392a Authenticity of Digital Records: A Survey of Professional Practice / L'authenticit? des documents num?riques: Un survol des pratiques professionnelles Corinne Rogers Authenticity of digital material is an enduring concern.
