Applied Ontology Special Issue on the Role
of Ontologies
in Linked Data, Big Data and Semantic Web Applications.
The IAOA Semantic Web Applied Ontology
(SWAO) Special
Interest Group [ http://www.iaoa.org/sig/swao/
] welcomes the submission of papers focusing on the role of
ontologies in the
areas of Linked Data and the Semantic Web, and their possible
applications in
Big Data. Our goal is to collect a diverse set of papers concerned
with the use
of ontologies in support of these areas.
Types of submissions sought include:
·
Position papers
·
Practical examples
·
Methodological treatments
·
Research-oriented papers
We are looking for papers that address the
challenge
problems set out in the 2014 Ontology Summit [ http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2014
]. We especially welcome papers that show how more rigorous and
principled
ontologies based on ontological analysis may be of help for the
Semantic Web,
the Linked Data, and the Big Data communities.
Expanding on the topics highlighted in the
Ontology
Summit 2014 Communique [ http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2014_Communique
], submissions should be concerned with:
·
The role that ontologies
play (or can play) in
Linked Data, Big Data and Semantic Web Applications
·
Engineering of ontologies
to address integration
and domain-specific modeling concerns
·
Sharing and reuse of
ontologies within and across
application or domain areas
·
Tooling and techniques in
support of ontology
development for Linked Data, Big Data and Semantic Web
Applications (provided
that a contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and
conceptual
modeling is clearly established)
Note that papers only focusing on language
or algorithmic
issues would be considered as out of scope. Authors
are encouraged to use language that will be intelligible also to
those outside
their specific sector of expertise.
Papers should be formatted and submitted
according to the
guidelines of the IOS Press publication “Applied Ontology” [ http://www.iossubmissions.com/applied-ontology/
], using the link “Submit Manuscript” on that page under Author
Actions. The
guidelines are found under the tab, "Submission of Manuscripts".
When
submitting your paper as described on that page, please also
include a covering
letter identifying that your submission is for the “SWAO Special
Issue”. Also
when prompted please set the type of your submission to “Special
Issue”.
