Call for Papers
Journal of Digital Information announces a Special Issue on New Applications of Knowledge Organization Systems
Special issue Editors: Traugott Koch and Doug Tudhope Lund University and University of Glamorgan
Submission deadline: 7 October 2003 Publication: January 2004
Submissions are sought for a special edition of JoDI on new applications and contexts for Knowledge Organisation Systems (KOS). This includes but is not restricted to novel applications and representations of KOS in advanced digital library (DL) and semantic Web environments.
This call builds on two recent NKOS workshops at JCDL 2003 in Houston, and ECDL 2003 in Trondheim. A number of submissions have already been committed based on presentations given at the workshops.
More generally, we welcome submissions that fit the scope of the call from all interested parties and communities. Articles from a previous NKOS issue (April 2001) rank among the most popular JoDI publications based on access statistics.
KOS services, such as classifications, gazetteers, lexical databases, ontologies, taxonomies and thesauri model the underlying semantic structure of a domain. Embodied as (Web) services, they can facilitate resource discovery and retrieval. They act as semantic road maps and make possible a common orientation by indexers and future users (whether human or machine). However, using them to their full potential in advanced DL and semantic Web applications poses various new challenges.
For more details, indicative topics and the submission procedure, see the full call http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/calls/newnkos.html All submissions will be subject to peer review.
The Journal of Digital Information is an electronic journal published only via the Web. JoDI is currently free to all users thanks to support from the British Computer Society and Oxford University Press. http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/
Some Indicative Topics (not intended to be exhaustive)
Digital library requirements for integration of KOS into DL services Standards for constructing, representing and applying KOS in digital environments Namespaces and registries for KOS and KOS relationships Maintenance and update of KOS
Distributed access to KOS, Web service applications Interoperability, cross-browsing and cross-searching
Knowledge organisation as support for Web-based information retrieval Knowledge organisation for filtering, information extraction, summary Knowledge organisation for indexing and annotation
Knowledge organisation support for multilingual systems, natural language processing Application of language engineering/terminology/corpus analysis with KOS
Semantic Web applications of KOS Ontology description languages, standards and applications XML/RDF representations for KOS content
User interfaces, KOS visualisation Evaluation and studies of use, end-user interactions with KOS
