Ontologies, classifications, thesauri, concept and metadata schemes, whatever their format, in RDF or not, are all welcome. * *Bootstrap your new Vocabulary project:* At the carnival you can present your ideas and early stage vocabs to find the right people to get the Vocab discussion going. We require at least a project web site. *What is your benefit of submitting?* * *attention*: make people aware of your work * *feedback*: a room full of other vocabulary creators will guarantee expert feedback * *linking*: discover links from your vocabulary to others on-site *How to submit your Vocabulary to the Carnival?* 1. Make sure your vocabulary is accessible on the Web through a public URI. 2. Communicate your intention to participate at _https://goo.gl/mV3VpZ_ by joining and posting your vocabulary link and writing ?See you at the Carnival in Leipzig? or send an email to monika.solanki at cs.ox.ac.uk , with subject ?Vocabulary Carnival?. 3. Register to SEMANTiCS:_http://2016.semantics.cc/registration/_ 4. Submissions will be handled on a *first come, first serve basis* *Are there any technical requirements?* Your vocabulary submission will be evaluated in accordance to the following criteria: * *Reusability* - Which vocabularies and/or ontology design patterns have been reused in its development? Has it been mapped, aligned, imported within other ontologies yet? If not, where do you foresee potential reuse? * *Value addition* - How does the vocabulary provide value addition for the intended project or domain as compared to previous efforts and to Semantic Web in general? * *Design and Technical quality* - how do the ontologies incorporate best practices in design, i.e., using ontology design patterns or extending from upper level ontologies? * *Documentation* - does the vocabulary provide both human and machine readable documentation using for e.g., rdfs:label, rdfs:comment and HTML documentation? * *Availability*: We expect your vocabulary (terminology, taxonomy, ontology, etc.) to be hosted on the Web at a persistent URI (PURL, w3id, ODI) and with an appropriate licence specification. If it is not Linked Data or uploaded to_http://lov.okfn.org_ you can get technical help and advise at the conference. * *Usage*: Which academic/industrial projects have adopted the vocabulary? Which datasets have been annotated using the vocabulary? *At the SEMANTiCS 2016 Conference:* * Prepare a poster (max format A0) presenting your vocabulary: description, purpose, history and link to its publication page. Your description of the vocabulary must include the above criteria. * Present your poster in the dedicated space at SEMANTiCS conference. * Brace yourself to participate in the Vocabulary Minute Madness, where every vocabulary will have one minute to convince of its usefulness and quality. Sporting your vocabulary colors at this occasion is optional, but will be much appreciated. * An independent jury will select the best vocabulary poster and presentation. *Vocabulary Carnival and LOV* * If your vocabulary is already recorded at_http://lov.okn.org_ , check its record to see if everything is OK. Ping the LOV curators if something is missing or inaccurate, or if you brush up a brand new version for the Carnival. If you think your vocabulary is LOV-able but not yet recorded, submit its URI at_http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/suggest/_ * If your vocabulary is not yet meeting the technical requirements to be included in LOV, and you wish it could, we can help you to achieve that during the Carnival. *About the Vocabulary Carnival* The Vocabulary Carnival will be hosted at the SEMANTiCS conference, Sep 12-15 2016 *Contact* Monika Solanki (_monika.solanki at cs.ox.ac.uk_ ) Ghislain Atemezing (_ghislain.atemezing at mondeca.com_ ) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The global internet population has witnessed a popular expansion to reach billions of users around the world. For connected users, social networks provide a most suitable space for sharing data, interacting with other users and forming communities with common interests. Social networks have important impacts on today?s society not only in terms of structure and dynamics, but also regarding scientific and technological aspects. Social networks raise new research challenges due to the numerous emerging needs and applications. The focus of this track is on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for social and more generally large networks analysis, tools and applications, including issues related to complex graphs, semantics, big data, and security.

In order to raise awareness about contributions made by at least one member of EUChap and about what are topics EUChap members are concerned with, I would like to gather title, authors, country, and submission type (paper, poster, panel, workshop) and distribute this information via our EUChap mailing list and website (the SIGs and most US-schools brag about their successes on a regular basis J). I hope that this well help getting in touch with each other, promoting our work, and creating a broader picture of European Information Science and Practice. Of course I could have crawled the program for this information but I would like to give you the opportunity to opt-in. Hence, please let me know by August 7, 2016 whether you?d like to be included ? please attach according information then. This year the ASIS&T headquarter also provided us with the opportunity to particularly promote submissions with substantial contributions from EUChap members. Those submissions can be mentioned in a special section of the Conference Program and the link to EUChap would be made visible (something like ?endorsed by EUChap?). I thought that especially those accepted contributions which have been discussed in our group before their submission (do you remember https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rhwv9U9wWtxxTOWW1cxchwCOHp79J-i5zj_XDwl -0g/edit?usp=sharing?) are eligible for that. As far as I can see there are two panels consisting of many EUCHap members and that have been discussed: 1) Panel Tomato tomahto: European perspectives on information science (led by Julian Warner) 2) Open Innovation in Smart Cities: Civic Participation and Co-creation of Public Services (led by Agnes Mainka) @Agnes, Julian: what do you think about this special promotion? Is it reasonable to link the panels with EUCHap? I also found other panels who have a significant amount of Europeans on their list: 1) Making research data possible: negotiating between disciplinary cultures, temporalities, data policies, professional interests and education and training (Kjellberg, Sara; Haider, Jutta; Cox, Andrew; Tam, Winnie; Tammaro, Anna Maria; Matusiak, Krystyna K.) 2) Information Work in Information Science Research and Practice (Huvila, Isto; Budd, John M.; Lloyd, Annemaree; Palmer, Carole; Toms, Elaine) Does it make sense to also endorse them? @Isto, Anna: what do you think? Please let me know. What about other papers/ workshops/ posters? I believe that submissions with >50% authors from EUChap could be promoted also. But suggestions are welcomed! Please also inform me by August 7 (since the program has to be printed, as HQ told me)!

Two vital and dynamic SIGs are joining forces for a workshop that will provide two interesting and complementary perspectives in the conference theme. In the morning session, SIG-SI will bring a perspective that focuses on the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) in work and play across all areas of ASIS&T. In the afternoon session, SIG-USE will focus on information related activities from different research perspectives and explores the significance of information seeking and use on our lives. Submissions may include empirical, critical, conceptual and theoretical papers and posters, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations. The combined workshop will allow networking between members of both SIGs during the day. MORNING: THE SOCIAL INFORMATICS OF WORK AND PLAY (SIG SI) This year?s conference theme is ?creating knowledge, enhancing lives through information & technology.? This is a particularly apposite theme for SIG-SI, because the social impacts of ICT and the complex relations among people, technologies, and the contexts of ICT design, implementation, and use have long been core concerns of social informatics. The SIG-SI morning session, our 12th annual gathering at ASIS&T annual meetings, will bring a critical perspective that focuses on the social aspects of ICT that cuts across all areas of ASIS&T This year, we are particularly interested in papers that investigate the social informatics of work and play. We define ?social? broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. We also define ?technology? broadly to include traditional technologies (e.g., paper, books, etc.), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices. Submissions may include papers and posters that explore the ways in which people?s uses of ICT affect their practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives. We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the Symposium?s theme, but are also soliciting research on other related social informatics topics. We encourage all scholars interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium. Some of the questions we ask include: ? What are the impacts of ICT on people?s practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives? ? What are some of the ways our work and play practices shape the design and development of ICT? ? What are the ways ICT positively and negatively impact organizations, work, play, and social life? ? What kinds of theoretical and methodological frameworks are best suited for studying the mutual shaping of ICT and practices and behaviors while at work and play? The schedule for the morning session of the symposium will involve the presentations of papers, a panel of distinguished scholars, and the best social informatics paper awards for 2015. We expect an engaging discussion with lively interactions with the audience.

It acknowledges social, individual and technological perspectives on the roles and flows that information takes as part of physical and digital work. The broad approach relates to the conference theme with a focus on information behavior (IB) or on information practices (IP) in connection to workplaces. Earlier generations were accustomed to stable and localized work; now work activities and contexts have and are radically changing. During their work life, people may experience several career changes, are expected to learn new skills and adapt to new ideas as well as manage the increasingly fluid boundaries between work and leisure. Moreover, much of information and data are internetworked and accessible simultaneously by multiple mobile devices supporting networked communities anyplace, anywhere, anytime. This challenges both the creation and consumption of information used for work ? or at work; it also affects how, when and where people work, as well as their productivity, collegiality and innovativeness. Despite, or perhaps due to, the advances in technology, today?s workplaces remain challenged by how to create, discover, share, value and enhance information and knowledge at and for work; and, how to design and manage the systems that support these functions, which are so critical to organizationally effective and individually rewarding work. The issues are many, from the consequences of new devices that are stretching the ways that an organization works, to the efficacy dynamics (stress, motivation, collaboration, productivity, age, etc.) and to the new skills and expertise required to work in such changing and changeable environments. Information is indispensable in many, if not all, workplace activities; as a resource for getting work done as well as for learning, managing change, developing and maintaining processes and creating professional networks. Specific issues to be addressed depend on the interest of the participants and the issues they bring into the workshop. Welcome topics include: ? Critical cultural information behavior ? how do we infuse our workplaces and practices with diversity and social justice sensibilities? ? Collaborative IB; virtual team ? Digital workplaces, peopleless offices & officeless people - what happens when the physical workplace dissolves? ? Everyday Life Information (in the workplace) ? Frameworks for understanding IB/IP in work settings ? IB/IP and workplace or information systems design ? Organizational behaviour research - what can we learn from this field of research that is relevant to IB/IP? ? Organizational information genres ? Personal Information Management (in the workplace) ? The blurring of lines between personal and professional in digital information use in the workplace ? The impact of mobile devices on IB/IP in the workplace ? Workplace culture, diversity and inclusion - how these shape and are shaped by information behaviour (IB)/information practices (IP)? ? and any other work-related informational topics We aim to an interactive workshop to enable the fullest exchange of ideas amongst attendees. For this reason, we encourage participants to submit; even if participation without a paper/poster is an eligible option. The workshop features a keynote by Professor Hazel Hall (preliminarily confirmed), presentation of selected papers, a joint poster session between the SIGs, and roundtable discussions based on short papers and posters by participants. Documentation: short papers and posters are shared digitally among the participants. Roundtable discussions are documented by a designated person in each group and collated by symposium chairs to a short summary that is made available for the participants afterwards.
