Special Call of the Semantic Web journal for
LINKED DATASET DESCRIPTIONS
Linked Data is a key enabler for the Semantic Web vision and one of the steps towards a truly "Semantic Web".
The Semantic Web journal calls for brief papers (usually about 5-8 pages) containing a concise description of a Linked Dataset. The paper shall describe in concise and clear terms key characteristics of the dataset as a guide to its usage for various (possibly unforeseen) purposes. In particular, such a paper shall typically give information, amongst others, on the following aspects of the dataset (if applicable).
Name, URL, versioning, licensing, availability Topic coverage, source for the data Purpose of the Linked Dataset, e.g. demonstrated by relevant queries or inferences over it Applications using the dataset and other metrics of use Creation, maintenance and update mechanisms as well as policies to ensure sustainability and stability Quality, quantity and purpose of links to other datasets Domain modeling and use of established vocabularies Examples and critical discussion of typical knowledge modeling patterns used Known shortcomings of the dataset A discussion of the dataset in the context of the Five Stars of Linked Data Vocabulary Use, http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/content/five-stars-linked-data-vocabulary-use
Papers will be evaluated along the following dimensions: quality of the dataset, usefulness (or potential usefulness) of the dataset, as well as clarity and completeness of the descriptions.
Papers should usually be written by people involved in the generation or maintenance of the dataset, or with the consent of these people.
Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors.
Past dataset descriptions which were already accepted for publication are available for perusal at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/accepted-datasets; see also the editorial of the first SWJ special issue with linked dataset descriptions, available at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/content/linked-data-big-data-and-4th-paradigm. Authors should note, though, that requirements and expectations have somewhat evolved since previous calls.
Deadlines:
Paper submission: September 30, 2014. Extensions can be granted upon request.
Notification: usually within 8 weeks of submission
In case of questions, please contact the Editors-in-chief:
