4th Australian Metadata Conference - 2011 - Call for Presentations and Case Studies

2011-02-25 Thread Chris Beer

Hi all

For the interest of Australian list members (and others) - Call for 
Presentations and Case Studies at Meta 2011 - Business Realities and 
Implications. I'll only post this call twice (once more towards the end 
date for submissions as a reminder) so please don't consider it spam.


Don't let the name fool you - realistically we're after presentations 
and case studies on any real and practical metadata implementations, 
especially in the Gov space but with an eye for the commercial market 
too (LOD and SemWeb guys - I'm looking at you here ;) ). Even a group 
offering from the W3 community would be awesome, and IG hat on for a 
second, a great way to push some EO as always.


If you've got something to share, or a great project you'd like to 
showcase, let us know! I have every faith that the W3 e-Gov, LOD and 
SemWeb IG and WG crowds will come through with some great offerings. And 
we don't mind if you are international - we'll be able to post case 
studies online, and will have a tweet-up and live blog happening as well 
- anything to spread the sweet eGov open data and web 3.0 word.


Please pass on to any you may think would be intersted!

Happy to answer any questions off list, or point you to the right people 
to talk to.


Cheers

Chris.

May 30th, Hersonissos, Crete, Greece
Keynote by Steve Pettifer, Manchester University, UK.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE March 4 (extended)

ELSEVIER BEST SEMANTIC PAPER AWARD

The Best Paper Award is presented to the author(s) deemed to have
written the paper covering the most innovative and feasible proposal
concerning semantic publishing in the workshop. All submissions to the
SePublica workshop will be considered, and a panel of experts will rate
the papers according to originality of the idea, feasibility and
presentation. The Best Paper award is sponsored by Elsevier as an
incentive for researchers working on defining the next generation of
scientific publishing concepts.  The Best Paper Award will be handed out
at the end of the SePublica workshop.

• As a cash prize, the Best Paper Award will receive: US$ 750
• The runner-up will be awarded a prize of US$ 250.

The MISSION of the SePublica workshop is to bring together researchers
and practitioners dealing with different aspects of Semantic
Technologies in the Publishing Industry. How is the Semantic Web
impacting the publishing industry? How is our experience of
publications changing because of Semantic Web technologies being
applied to the publishing industry?

The CHALLENGE of the Semantic Web is to allow the Web to move from a
dissemination platform to an interactive platform for networked
information. The Semantic Web promises to “fundamentally change our
experience of the Web”.

In spite of improvements in the distribution, accessibility and
retrieval of information, little has changed in the publishing
industry so far. The Web has succeeded as a dissemination platform for
scientific and non-scientific papers, news, and communication in
general; however, most of that information remains locked up in
discrete documents, which are poorly interconnected to one another and
to the Web.

The connectivity tissues provided by RDF technology and the Social Web
have barely made an impact on scientific communication nor on ebook
publishing, neither on the format of publications, nor on repositories
and digital libraries. The worst problem is in accessing and reusing
the computable data which the literature represents and describes.

• Consider research publications: Data sets and code are essential
elements of data intensive research, but these are absent when the
research is recorded and preserved in perpetuity by way of a scholarly
journal article.
• Or consider news reports: Governments increasingly make public
sector information available on the Web, and reporters use it, but
news reports very rarely contain fine-grained links to such data
sources.

QUESTIONS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST

• What does a network of truly interconnected papers look like?
How could interoperability across documents be enabled?
• How could concept-centric social networks emerge?
• Are blogs and wikis new means for scholarly communication?
• What lessons can be learned from humanities and social science publishers
(i.e. going beyond scientific publishing towards scholarly publishing)?
• How could we move beyond the PDF?
How can we embed and link semantics in EPUB and other e-book formats?
• How are digital libraries related to semantic e-science?
What is the relationship between a paper and its digital library?
• How could we realize a paper with an API?
How could we have a paper as a database, as a knowledge base?
• How is the paper an interface, gateway, to the web of data?
How could such and interface be delivered in a contextual manner?
• How could RDF(a) and ontologies be used to represent the knowledge encoded
in scientific documents and in general-interest media publications?
• What ontologies do we need for representing structural elements in a
document?
• How can we capture the semantics of rhetorical structures in
scholarly communication, and of  hypotheses and scientific evidence?

AUDIENCE

• researchers from diverse backgrounds such as argumentative
structures, scholarly communication, multi-modality in publications,
digital libraries, semantics in publications, and ontology
engineers.
• practitioners active in the publishing industry, repositories of
experimental information and document standards.

Hi Bob,

thanks for your comments!

Hi Annika,

this is quite interesting. Well done!

Here are my remarks:

- no redefinition of existing vocabularies - sometimes it necessary 
e.g., to achieve an OWL DL compiliance of an utilized vocabulary that 
doesn't fulfil this requirement originally

Oh ok, I didn't know that, thanks!


- any reason for being sometimes quite strict re. the selected 
relations for specific indicators (e.g. 4.1) i.e., SIOC is for online 
communities and hence rather specific for that domain
First, I wanted to leave things like the interpretation of an 
established vocabulary open to the reader. But as it is a diploma 
thesis, I was asked to make clear definitions for the indicators which 
wouldn't leave much room for interpretation.


- stating the content-types as specifically as possible is quite 
vague ;) and what are you intending with 'content-types'? media types?
Yes, media types, which are stated in an HTTP-answer in the 
Content-Type-header. I took this indicator from the Weaving the 
Pedantic Web paper, which includes the example of stating the 
Content-Type of an RDF/XML-document as 'application/xml', although the 
actual type would be  'application/rdf+xml'.


- A vocabulary is said to be established, if it is one of the 100 
most popular vocabularies stated on prex.cc - uhm, as the results 
from Richard's evaluation have, this is quite arguable
It's a practical way to determine it (which I can use for the 
implementation of the formalism). Another way would be to compare many 
documents from many data sources and to find out, which vocabularies are 
most popular.


- re. rdfs:label/rdfs:comment vs. dc:title/dc:description, AFAIK, it 
is a common practice to use the former one for universal definitions 
and the latter one for particular definitions

I must admit, I forgot about these two. I'll add them!


That's all for the moment ;)

Cheers,


Bob

Thanks again!
Cheers,
Annika

I'm particularly interested in this aspect of vocabulary selection.
Regarding popularity, I fully go along with Bob regarding prefix.cc in which
all sorts of biases can be introduced. I think the popularity is better
measured by the use of vocabularies in CKAN datasets, as indicated by
format-* tags. See http://ckan.net/tag/?page=F and for example
http://ckan.net/tag/format-bibo or http://ckan.net/tag/format-foaf.

Another approach I'm currently working on is the one you can find at
http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov. The description of interlinked
vocabularies (using VOAF vocabulary) provide indication of popularity at the
vocabulary level itself. From this dataset (still far from exhaustive of
course) you can see which vocabularies are reused, extended, used for
annotation by other ones. I think the density of links to and from a
vocabulary to other ones gives a good indicator of its establishment, in
combination with the number of datasets actually using it.

I'm particularly interested in this aspect of vocabulary selection. Regarding popularity, 
I fully go along with Bob regarding prefix.cc in which all sorts of biases can be 
introduced. I think the popularity is better measured by the use of vocabularies in CKAN 
datasets, as indicated by format-* tags. See http://ckan.net/tag/?page=F and 
for example http://ckan.net/tag/format-bibo or http://ckan.net/tag/format-foaf.

Why not actual link coefficient from an LOD Cloud cache instance ? That a least 
shows what's being used :-)

There is no LOD Cloud cache instance as far as I can tell.


Okay, you might not see it as a LOD Cloud cache. How about a massive 13B 
strong live instance [1] with as much Linked Data as we can get our 
hands on? There good sampling there since you can use Entity Ranking to 
analyze usage.

So any attempt to infer data from something that claimed to be would be 
misleading.


No in my eyes, but we can agree to disagree as we've done in the past 
re. this matter :-)

Another approach I'm currently working on is the one you can find at 
http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov. The description of interlinked vocabularies (using 
VOAF vocabulary) provide indication of popularity at the vocabulary level itself. From 
this dataset (still far from exhaustive of course) you can see which vocabularies 
are reused, extended, used for annotation by other ones. I think the density of links to 
and from a vocabulary to other ones gives a good indicator of its 
establishment, in combination with the number of datasets actually using it.
