DaMaLOS 2021: 2nd Workshop on Data and research objects management for Linked Open Science International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) - Online Online, Germany, October 24-25, 2021 |

DaMaLOS 2021 explores how Research Data and Research Objects Management (RDM and ROM) plans support the findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) principles. Despite playing an important role, data on its own is not sufficient to establish Open Science nor Linked Open Science, i.e., Open Science plus Linked Open Data (LOD) principles. LOD principles, aka LOD 5 stars, follow objectives that overlap with FAIR principles and Open Science (e.g., LOD 5 stars include “openness” and the use of “non-proprietary open formats”). We are interested in what is required for RDM to effectively instantiate Linked Open Science, including effective support for LOD, automation by, e.g.,machine/deep learning approaches, FAIR and Data Spaces/Ecosystems. Furthermore, we are interested in innovations to also support other Research Objects such as software and workflows, in order to get an integrated layer supporting all the edges of Linked Open Science.

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference/workshop. Proceedings of the workshop will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license. Accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS).
We welcome full research (introducing novel research contributions, max 10 pages), short research (presenting early results or work in progress, max 6 pages), position (introducing an idea and discussion around it, max 6 pages) and research objects (description of datasets, software, workflows, max 10 pages) papers formatted according to LNCS templates on the following (or similar) topics:
- Importance of Research Data Management (RDM) for LOD
- Special features/metadata required in RDM/ROM plans for LOD
- RDM/ROM plans elements/data that can be automated, particularly using/consuming LOD
- Links between RDM and ROM plans and how those could be automated
- Extensions to current RDM plans to better support Linked Open Science, e.g., emergence of ROM
- Integration/alignment between FAIR and RDM/ROM plans and tools
- Research and training initiatives related to RDM/ROM supporting Open Science/Linked Open Science
- Benefits of Linked Open Science, i.e., Open Science + Linked Open Data principles, over Open Science
- How RDM/ROM plans and LOD can be used to improve collection and storage of (usually volatile) data produced at, e.g., conferences
- Managing FAIR digital objects in federated, open data spaces/infrastructures/ecosystems
- Gluing together metadata + publications + data + software, (e.g., via management plans, FAIRification efforts or open aggregating spaces/ecosystems)
