Continuing the successful mission of previous MTSR Conferences
(MTSR'05, MTSR'07, MTSR'09, MTSR'10, MTSR'11, MTSR12 and MTSR'13), the
eighth International Conference on Metadata and Semantics Research
(MTSR'14) aims to bring together scholars and practitioners that share
a common interest in the interdisciplinary field of metadata, linked
data and ontologies. Participants will share novel knowledge and best
practice in the implementation of these semantic technologies across
diverse types of Information Environments and applications. These

of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (Inderscience), and Program:
Electronic library and information systems (Emerald) (list incomplete).
****Awards****
Best paper award
This award will be presented to the authors of the best full paper
submitted and presented to the conference.
Best student paper award
The 8th MTSR 14 conference sponsors a paper competition to recognize
excellence in a conference paper contribution whose primary author is
a student (normally at a PhD or MRes level). The student is required
to present the paper at the MTSR2014 conference. Submissions are
evaluated on their originality, scientific merits, structure, and
clarity of composition.
-We look forward to see you in Karlsruhe, Germany.
