The scale of scholarly publications poses a challenge for scholars in their search for relevant literature. This special issue calls for new, unpublished article submissions on the analysis of scholarly publications and data, in the context of the explosion in the production of scientific literature and the growth of scientific enterprise. Articles in the issue will investigate how natural language processing, information retrieval, scientometric and recommendation techniques can advance the state of the art in scholarly document understanding, analysis and retrieval at scale. Researchers are in need of assistive technologies to track developments in an area, identify the approaches used to solve a research problem over time and summarize research trends. Digital libraries require semantic search, question answering and automated recommendation and reviewing systems to manage and retrieve answers from scholarly databases. Full document text analysis can help to design semantic search, translation and summarization systems; citation and social network analyses can help digital libraries to visualize scientific trends, bibliometrics and relationships and influences of works and authors. All these approaches can be supplemented with the metadata supplied by digital libraries - such as the article title, journal or conference name, author information, language, datasets, keywords, section headers, citation relationships, topic terms - and even browsing and usage data, such as related search queries and download counts. The issue aims to bring together the three communities of digital libraries (DL), information retrieval (IR) and natural language processing (NLP) to discuss the potential of automated textual analysis and bibliometrics to enhance scholarly discovery process. We thus are soliciting high-quality, previously unpublished submissions on topics including ? but not limited to ? full-text, multimedia and/or multilingual analysis of scholarly publications, as well as citation-based NLP or IR. Example fields of interests include (but are not limited to): - Summarization of scientific articles; automatic creation of reviews and automatic qualitative assessment of submissions; question-answering for scholarly DLs - Text and data mining technologies of scholarly articles to facilitate browsing and information-seeking - Recommendation for scholarly papers, reviewers, citations and publication venues - Navigation, searching and browsing in scholarly DLs; niche search in scholarly DLs; new information access methods for scientific papers - Network analysis and citation analysis in scholarly DLs; citation function/motivation analysis; novel bibliometric metrics; topical modeling analysis; information retrieval for scholarly text, e.g. citation-based IR - Knowledge discovery and analysis of information provenance - Translation, multilingual and multimedia analysis and alignment of scholarly works; analyses of writing style in scholarly publications - Methods for and applications of the automatic mining and discovery of structured and unstructured metadata - Domain vocabularies and taxonomies for resource description and discovery - Disambiguation issues in scholarly DLs using NLP or IR techniques; data cleaning and data quality Guest Editors Guillaume Cabanac, University of Toulouse, France Muthu Kumar Chandrasekaran, NUS School of Computing, Singapore Ingo Frommholz, University of Bedfordshire, UK Kokil Jaidka, Adobe Systems Inc., India Min-Yen Kan, NUS School of Computing, Singapore Philipp Mayr, GESIS ?

Mai 2016 15:53 An: asis-l at asis.org Betreff: [Asis-l] For Immediate Release - Dick Hill set to retire. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 27, 2016 With mixed feelings, regret for ourselves but happiness for him, the ASIS&T Board learned that after 27 years at the service of our organization, our Executive Director, Dick Hill, will be passing the baton at the end of the year in order to retire to his rural farm, and a lengthy (and growing) ?to do? list, including serving as a volunteer officer in a couple of environmental groups. Dick Hill joined ASIS&T in 1989, having previously run a DC trade association, his own business, teaching English in several private schools, and other endeavors. He then spent the next 27 years at ASIS&T, worked with 27 different ASIS&T presidents and engineered 3 office moves. His tenure involved moving from a Control Data computer with 14 inch disk drive that had to be changed to run a complete mailing list (he still has a couple of the disk covers serving as plant saucers) to remote storage and automatic backup. Dick and ASIS&T started using e-mail in the early 1990?s courtesy of Clifford Lynch and the Coalition for Networked information, getting our own domain and service a year or so later. We went on the web with a rudimentary site in the mid 90?s. Under his direction, ASIS&T has gone from a deficit to a sizable surplus which is conservatively invested. The contract with Wiley-Blackwell for publishing JASIST has been renegotiated in our favor twice, and JASIST has gone from 6 issues to 12 per year; the ASIS&T Digital Library was inaugurated in cooperation with Wiley-Blackwell and goes back to Volume 1, issue 1 of what is now JASIST. Dick perhaps is proudest of two accomplishments: 1) the staff size is the same now as it was in 1989, and the same core of the team has remained in place since the early 1990?s, through all the moves, increased revenues and workload; and 2) building the IA Summit and RDAP Summits and the communities that have coalesced around those events. After almost three decades devoted to our Association, Dick certainly deserves a break. He will be sorely missed by his staff, the Board and officers, as well as our members. A constant presence at the Annual Meetings, and a fervent advocate for the field and our organization, Dick has mentored and nurtured an impressive number of officers, and has been an incredible leader for his team at the ASIS&T headquarters. On a recent visit to the ASIS&T headquarters in Silver Spring (just outside Washington, DC), President-Elect Lynn Silipigni Connaway and I were touched by the high esteem that Dick?s team holds for him. Vanessa, Jan, Carline, and Stephan all spoke with great affection and respect about their ?boss,? and it is clear that his shoes will be hard to fill. We are all very grateful to Dick for his hard work, dedication and passion toward making ASIS&T what it is today. I know you will join me in thanking him and wishing him the best for the next chapter of his life. Dick's retirement date is yet to be finalized, and he was kind enough to give us assurance of his commitment to ASIS&T until the new position is filled. The Board will be hard at work on this matter, and we will keep you updated regularly. The Board is grateful to Dick and his staff for their flexibility and cooperation as we turn a new page in the history of our organization. There will be ample opportunities at the Annual Meeting to celebrate Dick?s tenure with ASIS&T. Bring your best stories or photos, and use this chance to say ?Thank You? to Dick and his staff.

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? (research) and ?verticals? (industries) below are of interest for the conference: Horizontals: * Enterprise Linked Data & Data Integration * Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search * Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies * Big Data & Text Analytics * Data Portals & Knowledge Visualization * Semantic Information Management * Document Management & Content Management * Terminology, Thesaurus & Ontology Management * Smart Connectivity, Networking & Interlinking * Smart Data & Semantics in IoT * Semantics for IT Safety & Security * Semantic Rules, Policies & Licensing * Community, Social & Societal Aspects Verticals: * Industry & Engineering * Life Sciences & Health Care * Public Administration * Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums (GLAM) * Education & eLearning * Media & Data Journalism * Publishing, Marketing & Advertising * Tourism & Recreation * Financial & Insurance Industry * Telecommunication & Mobile Services * Sustainable Development: Climate, Water, Air, Ecology * Energy, Smart Homes & Smart Grids * Food, Agriculture & Farming * Safety & Security * Transport, Environment & Geospatial Posters & Demos Track The Posters & Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in progress, late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller contributions in all fields related to the broadly understood Semantic Web. These include submissions on innovative applications with impact on end users such as demos of solutions that users may test or that are yet in the conceptual phase, but are worth discussing, and also applications or pieces of code that may attract developers and potential research or business partners. This also concerns new data sets made publicly available. The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages participants to present innovations to the research community, business users and find new partners or clients and engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering conference participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. Poster and demo submissions should consist of a paper of 1-4 pages that describe the work, its contribution to the field or novelty aspects. Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting. The layout templates can be found here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The best posters (5-6 papers) will be published in the digital library of the ACM ICP Series. The other papers will be published in the http://ceur-ws.org/. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2016research). Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format. Other formats will not be accepted. For the camera-ready version, the source files (Latex, Word) will also be needed. Submissions will be reviewed by experienced and knowledgeable researchers and practitioners; each submission will receive a detailed feedback. For demos, it would be beneficial to include also links enabling the reviewers testing the application or reviewing the component.

Kind regards, Elena Corradini AIB CILW Study Group --- Apologies for cross-postings --- Call for proposals ? AIB CILW 2016 Conference The AIB Study Group on Cataloguing, Indexing, Linked Open Data and Semantic Web (CILW), part of the Italian Library Association (AIB), is launching a call for proposals for the "AIB CILW 2016 Conference", to be held in Rome, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, October 21, 2016. The Conference is organized in collaboration with AIB Sezione Lazio and Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma. The Conference aims at presenting research and experiences relating theoretical, methodological and technological innovation in the areas of LAM (Libraries, Archives, and Museums) and LAMMS (Libraries, Archives, Museums, Monuments, and Sites), with particular regard to Linked Data technologies and the Semantic Web project. The title of the Conference is: ?Revamping Information Resources: Granularity, Interoperability, and Data Integration?. The second Session will be organized through a call for proposals. Main purpose is to allow any scholar, even if very young, to participate in the conference with a theoretical or practical 'flash' report, 'lightening talk' style, in Italian or English. The call for proposals expires June 20, 2016 (very probably the deadline will be extended). The dedicated Session is entitled ?The universe of cultural resources: between smart ideas and concrete actions?. Any information at: http://www.aib.it/attivita/2016/56331-aib-cilw-2016-conference-call-for-proposals/ The launch of the Conference is expected in June, and it is not possible to register yet.
