What about EPUB, which is xHTML and has support for Schema.org markup? It
also provides for fixed-layout.

Laura,

As long as it reflects what we are requesting of others, in regards to Linked Open Data publication, it's all good :-)

Do you have a sample link?

Dear Saven,
Thank your for your response Fabien.

The scientific articles are presenting scientific achievements in a
format that is suitable for human consumption.
Documents in a portable format remain the best way to do that for a
conference today.
I acknowledge the current state of matters for sharing scientific
knowledge. However, the concern was whether ESWC was willing to
promote Web native technologies for sharing knowledge, as opposed to
solely insisting on Adobe's PDF, a desktop native technology.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Web "took off" not because of
PDF, but due to plain old simple HTML. You know just as well that HTML
was intended for scientific knowledge sharing at large scale, for
human as well as machine consumption.

However:
- all the metadata of the conference are published as linked data e.g.
http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2014/html
This is great. But, don't you think that we can and ought to do better
than just metadata?

- authors are encouraged to publish, the datasets and algorithms they
use in their research on the Web following its standards.
I think we all know too well that this is something left as optional
that very few follow-up. There is no reproducibility "police" in SW/LD
venues. Simply put, we can't honestly reproduce the research because
all of the important atomic components that are discussed in the
papers e.g., from hypothesis, variables, to conclusions, are not
precisely identified or easily discoverable. Most of the time, one has
to hunt down the authors for that information. IMHO, this severely
limits scientific progress on Web Science.

Will you compromise on the submission such that the submissions can be
in PDF and/or in HTML(+RDFa)?
+1

We need to get over this hurdle. We can't expect to be taken seriously
if we don't wire what we espouse into the fabric of our existence.
