We propose a full-day workshop of research projects and development related to next-generation Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) in digital libraries. This proposal builds on the well-attended NKOS workshops at previous ECDL, TPDL, JCDL, Dublin Core DCMI conferences (see NKOS website for details). We expect approximately 30 attendees at this workshop. The proposal is supported by the international NKOS network, its website and discussion list. Presentations are made available on the workshop website.
Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), in the form of classification systems, taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, and lexical databases, play a crucial role in digital information management and applications generally. Carrying semantics in a well-controlled and documented way, Knowledge Organization Systems serve a variety of important functions: tools for representation and indexing of information and documents, knowledge-based support to information searchers, semantic road maps to domains and disciplines, communication tool by providing conceptual framework, and conceptual basis for knowledge-based systems, e.g. automated classification systems.
Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions for:
a) Presentations (typically 20 minutes plus discussion time, potentially longer if warranted) on work related to the themes of the workshop (see below). An option for a short 5 minute project report presentation is also possible.
b) Demos on work related to the themes of the workshop (see below).
Authors may submit just an abstract (2-3 pages) or a regular/short paper to be published in the workshop proceedings (see 2016 and 2017 workshops). All submissions must be written in English following Springer LNCS author guidelines. Regular papers should have a maximum of 12 pages. Short papers should have a maximum of 6 pages. All submissions should be uploaded as PDF files to EasyChair and should include aims, methods, main findings, references).
All submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Please be aware of the fact that at least one author per paper needs to register for the workshop and participate in the workshop and present the work (via ppt). In case of no-show the paper (even if accepted) will be deleted from the proceedings AND from the program.
