The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary management. The success of last year?s conference in Vienna with more than 280 attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe. SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot topics: * Data Quality Management * Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics) * Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org * Corporate Knowledge Graphs * Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies * Economics of Data, Data Services and Data Ecosystems Following the success of previous years, the ?horizontals?

Dear colleagues, this time I am writing because of a rather personal concern - but which also reflects a known symptom for the underevaluation of the Information Science discipline in Europe. Hence, it is a matter of EUChap, too. We were informed this week that the dean of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of D?sseldorf intends to?close the Department of Information Science?in the next faculty council meeting on Tuesday, 26 January. The reason for closure is the need to economize and to cut a professor's position at the level of the Philosophical Faculty (12 institutes, 10,000 students). However, unlike at other institutes, the cut of a professor in information science would entail the?closure of the whole department, affecting four degree programs, more than 10 university lecturers and almost 1,000 students, as Prof. Stock is the only full information science professor in D?sseldorf. The imminent closure represents a?great loss not only for the greater field of information science but also for bibliometrics research and education. Bibliometrics and scientometrics are inherent parts of the curriculum in D?sseldorf. Alumni, doctoral students as well as BA and MA students frequently present their research at international conferences such as ISSI, STI and the ASIS&T SIG/MET workshop. Information science students from D?sseldorf also play a role in bibliometric analyses for research funders and universities, as the research center in J?lich involves them in bibliometric contract work.? I consider the planned closure short-sighted, ill-conceived and disastrous for information science and bibliometric education and research in Germany and Europe. As an alumna? I strongly oppose the dean's decision to cut Prof. Stock's position and close the department and kindly ask for your support: The student body has started an online petition to protest against the closure, which has already gathered more than 700 signatures:?change.org/saveIWS My colleagues?Dirk Lewandowski, Jasmin Schmitz,?Violeta Trkulja, Katrin Wellerand I have issued a request for?support letters?from the community to the university president and the dean to convince them to stop the intended closure. An English translation of their open letter can be found here:?https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Mm1Fli724z05miSdsh2n6q910SlqvhxsJXCUoB2520/edit?usp=sharing? Please help us to protest against the closure of the Department of Information Science by signing the petition, writing a letter and sharing this information with your colleagues.

We hope that with beingtransparent about our submission plans we can demonstrate our ability tocollaborate and promote the idea of a European IS community (instead ofincreasing the competition among us). Hence, wecame up with following procedure to successfully join forces (hopefully): 1) * Please revise the Google document inwhich you can find all planned panel, paper, and workshop proposals and addedso far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rhwv9U9wWtxxTOWW1cxchwCOHp79J-i5zj_XDwl-0g/edit?pref=2&pli=1#heading=h.s312j46f3hv8 2) * For those who already provided someideas: Please add your contact information to your proposals asap so that other members can get intouch with you. 3) *To all members: Please add more ofyour proposal ideas until February 2nd and also contact people whoproposed submissions of interest to you or that overlap with your idea. Pleasetry working together on a joint proposal. 4) * By February 5th eachproposal should have assigned a group speaker who feels responsible for pushingthe proposal to a final submission. 5) * We use the Google document tocommunicate. I will alsotalk to ASIS&T HQ and/or conference organizers if it would be possible forthe European Chapter to endorse those contributions of chapter members (similarto the sponsorships of SIGs, which are even acknowledged in the printedconference program). I believe that something like this would massivelyincrease the visibility of the European Chapter and the work of its members. Anotherissue is rather linked to the organization and support of the conference. Inthe Google document paragraph IV. Otherslists the ideas on how to involve students or other activities to make the AM atruly European experience. Please feelfree to add ideas or to note down that you would like to volunteer organizingsome of the activities. I believe that we need more than a handful of membersto make this happen, but since you are all excited about the ASIS&T AM I amsure that this will be a cinch for us :-) I guessthat?s it for now?please do not hesitate to post questions, comments etc. tothe Google document or send them via the mailing list.

You can follow the live tweets under https://twitter.com/hashtag/saveiws It appears that no substantial arguments were given for the closure, but the dean made it clear that some financial cuts are necessary and that they have to affect areas where a professor is retiring before 2020. This is extremely sad and disappointing news. Dean and faculty council seemed to have made up their minds already ? neither the arguments from the letters nor from the students who flooded the meeting room nor from Professor Wolf Stock were seriously taken in account in order to revise the decision. But there is one last chance: We are now hoping for the university president to reverse the decision and to find another solution. She might be more open to the voices of the community. There the letters (more than 60 reached us) and the online petition (more than 1500 signatures; see URL below) will count even more. We will let you know once we have more concrete information and do know how to proceed. Thank you again for supporting us by sending passionate letters, spreading the word online and offline, signing the petition, and by much more. We haven?t expected such an overwhelming response! It?s good to know that the Information Science community sticks together no matter what. We hope that we can keep that spirit alive!
