From: , Philipp > Date: Monday, May 18, 2015 at 12:35 PM Subject: 14th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) Workshop at TPDL 2015 Dear NKOS participants, See the Call for Presentations and Demos The 14th European NKOS workshop will take place on Friday 18th September 2015 as part of TPDL 2015 in Poznan, Poland. https://at-web1.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/research/hypermedia/nkos/nkos2015/call-for-papers.html Important Dates: Submission deadline: Friday, 3rd July 2015 Notification of acceptance: Monday, 20th July 2015 Proposals are invited for the following: a) Presentations (typically 20 minutes plus discussion time, potentially longer if warranted) on work related to the themes of the workshop (see below). An option for a short 5 minute project report presentation is also possible. b) Demos on work related to the themes of the workshop (see below). Please email proposals (maximum 1000 words for presentations and 500 words for demos, including aims, methods, main findings and underlying work, relevance to themes of workshop) to Douglas Tudhope (douglas.tudhope at southwales.ac.uk). Proposals will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. At least one presentation author needs to register for the workshop (this is a strict requirement). After the workshop, copies of presentations will be made available on the workshop website. Presentations from the workshop may be encouraged to be submitted as extended papers for peer reviewed journal publication. Themes for the 14th NKOS workshop will be: 1) KOS Alignment. KOS alignment or terminology mapping plays a vital role in NKOS for many years and fits very well to the general theme "Connecting Digital Collections" of TPDL 2015. This year we want to sort out the needs (use cases) of KOS alignments in the new environment of Linked Open Data. We plan to collect methodologies, best practices, guidelines and tools. This includes manual and automatic alignments. 2) KOS Linked Open Data. Recent years have seen an increasing trend to publication of KOS as Linked Data vocabularies. We need discussion of practical initiatives to link between congruent vocabularies and provide effective web services and APIs so that applications can build upon them. 3) Applications of KOS systems in relation to 'Big data' - natural language processing and semantic analysis of content pose huge challenges. Further presentations/demonstrations will be selected from current KOS applications, including: 4) KOS-based recommender systems for suggestion of meaningful concepts. 5) KOS in e-Research metadata contexts - intersection between research data, KOS, Semantic web. 6) Social tagging. What is the role of social tagging and informal knowledge structures versus established KOS? 7) Users interaction with KOS in the online environment. 8) Quality issues in web-based KOS. Issues concerning large metadata sets. Version management. 9) KOS and (e)learning. 10) Multilingual and Interdisciplinary KOS applications and tools. 11) Specific domains, such as environmental, medical, new application contexts, etc More information on the workshop can be found under https://at-web1.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/research/hypermedia/nkos/nkos2015/call-for-papers.html We hope to see you in Poznan, Poland.

Developed by an international team of experts, PREMIS is implemented in digital preservation projects around the world, and support for PREMIS is incorporated into a number of commercial and open-source digital preservation tools and systems. The PREMIS Editorial Committee coordinates revisions and implementation of the standard, which consists of the Data Dictionary, an XML schema, and supporting documentation. The PREMIS Data Dictionary is currently in version 2.2. A new major release 3.0 is due out this summer. This webinar gives a brief overview of why digital preservation metadata is needed, shows examples of digital preservation metadata, shows how PREMIS can be used to capture this metadata, and illustrates some of the changes that will be available in version 3.0. *SPEAKER:* Dr. Angela Dappert is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Portsmouth. She has widely researched and published on digital preservation. She has consulted for archives and libraries on digital life cycle management and policies, led and conducted research in the EU-co-funded Planets, Scape, TIMBUS, and E-ARK projects, and applied digital preservation practice at the British Library through work on digital repository implementation, digital metadata standards, digital asset registration, digital asset ingest, preservation risk assessment, planning and characterization, and data carrier stabilization. Angela holds a Ph.D. in Digital Preservation, an M.Sc. in Medical Informatics and an M.Sc. in Computer Sciences. She serves on the PREMIS Editorial Committee and the Digital Preservation Programme Board of National Records Scotland.

With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative, intelligent and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as big data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of computational and collective IntElligence in Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. Topics ------- MEDES 2015 seeks contributions in the following areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Green computing 3. Computational and Collective Intelligence 4. Services 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Internet of Things and Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.
