CfP, Workshop on OD and Ontologies for Cultural Heritage

CALL FOR PAPERS

1st International Workshop on Open data and Ontologies for Cultural Heritage, ODOCH'19 Co-located with CAiSE'19 June 3rd, 2019 - Rome, Italy

http://odoch19.uniroma1.it/odoch19

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Open Data and Ontologies for Cultural Heritage (ODOCH) aims at bringing together researchers in Semantic Web and Digital Humanities to discuss results and experiences on the design, development and use of ontology-based information systems for Cultural Heritage (Linked) Open Data. While significantly differing from the scope of workshops held in previous CAiSE events, ODOCH'19 will fit the CAiSE'19 theme of Responsible Information Systems, by providing a forum that will emphasize the need for a trustworthy spread of Cultural Heritage.

ODOCH'19 aims at attracting both IT researchers and industrials, already participating to the main conference, who are eager to discover new domains of application of their research, and professionals of humanities who will recognize in ODOCH'19 and, likely for the first time, in CAiSE, the chance to explore new opportunities. ODOCH'19 will be held in Rome, on June 3rd, 2019, in conjunction with the 31st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'19). As CAiSE'19, it will be hosted by Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Automatica e Gestionale Antonio Ruberti at Sapienza Università di Roma.

Important Dates

===============

Paper registration deadline: March 23, 2019 Paper submission deadline: March 30, 2019 Reviews due: April 15, 2019 Authors notification: April 20, 2019 Camera ready submission deadline: April 30, 2019 Workshop date: June 3, 2019

Topics of interest

==================

Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to):

* Ontology-based data access for Cultural Heritage

* Cultural Heritage (Linked) Open Data publishing

* Cultural Heritage (Linked) Open Data preservation

* Cultural Heritage ontologies

* Semantic applications and information systems for Cultural Heritage

* Novel approaches enabling the use of ontologies for Cultural Heritage

* Usability of interfaces to (Linked) Open Data for humanities Cultural Heritage data

* Ontology patterns for Cultural Heritage data

Submissions

===========

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics of the workshop. The results of submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. Only papers in English will be accepted.

Manuscripts must comply with the CEUR formatting rules. Authors can prepare their manuscript as a PDF file, following the Latex or Word templates available on the workshop website (which are an adaptation of the Springer LNCS style templates), and submit it to the workshop organizers by accessing the CAiSE'19 EasyChair submission page (https://easychair.org/conferences/? conf=caise19), and selecting the track "1st International Workshop on Open Data and Ontologies for Cultural Heritage".

We accept two types of submissions: Regular Papers and Demo/Poster Papers.

* Regular Papers describe original solutions aiming at exploiting or providing Semantic Web technologies and/or (Linked) Open Data for Cultural Heritage. A regular paper should describe the context of the work, the problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the solution suggested and the benefits of the contribution. Regular papers should have at least 10 pages and not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices).

* Demo papers should provide a brief description of academic and/or industrial efforts on software tools and systems publishing or exploiting (Linke) Open Data and/or ontologies for Cultural Heritage. It is expected that accepted demo papers will be presented in the form of a live demonstration. Poster papers should present new ideas on the use of

(Linked) Open Data and Semantic Web technologies for Cultural Heritage.

They are ideal to raise discussions on new challenges and get feedback from the community.

Demo/Poster papers should have at least 5 pages and not exceed 6 pages.

Submissions not conforming to the CEUR format and the above page limitations or being obviously out of the scope of the workshop will be rejected without review. Accepted regular papers and short papers will be made available electronically in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series (http://www.CEUR-ws.org/).

After the workshop, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to the Journal of Cultural Heritage (JCH).
