[InetBib] CfP SWIB13 Semantic Web in Libraries Conference, Hamburg, 25-27/11/2013

["Adrian Pohl" <pohl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Call for Proposals: SWIB13 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference
("Semantic Web in Bibliotheken"), 25.11. - 27.11.2013, Hamburg

Linked Open Data (LOD) has become a widespread method for the publication and 
management of data on the web. Many libraries and related institutions have 
already run projects or launched products that comply with the LOD paradigm. 
New projects, services and tools are emerging continuously.

The SWIB conference aims to provide substantial information on LOD developments 
relevant to the library world and to forster the exchange of ideas and 
experiences among practicioners. SWIB encourages thinking outside the box by 
involving participants and speakers from other domains, such as scholarly 
communications, museums and archives, or the publishing and news industry.

As in the years before, SWIB13 will be organized by the North Rhine-Westphalian 
Library Service Centre (hbz) and the ZBW - German National Library of Economics 
/  Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. The conference language is English.
Is there an interesting service, research topic or project that you would like 
to present at the conference? Or, can you offer giving a tutorial or a workshop 
on the afternoon of 25 November? We appreciate proposals on the following or 
related topics:

Projects & Applications

* publication & consumption of linked data
* integration of LOD into productive library applications
* authorities and knowledge organization systems (thesauri, classifications, 
ontologies)
* mash-ups (using data from different sources)
* crowdsourcing approaches

Technology (focus on Open Source software)

* semantically enhanced data publication
