<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks to Michael Gruninger, I got the info for submitting a proposal for a special issue of the AO Journal. The info below was forwarded from Nicola Guarino. Here it is:<br>

The procedure for AO special issues is very simple, just consisting of
submitting a proposal to Mark and myself. Of course, the most important
criteria for acceptation are the relevance of the subject with respect
to the journal's aims and scope, described at <a href="http://www.applied-ontology.org" target="_blank">www.applied-ontology.org</a>. In addition, the guest editors should be well-recognized in the field.<br>
<br>The proposal at hand certainly fits the journal'scope. I would
however encourage the proposers to stimulate the presentation of papers<b>
focusing on content-specific integration issues or on modelling issues</b>,
as opposed to performance, scalability or representation issues. In
other words, does the availability of well-founded, accurate ontologies
impact on a better use and exploitation of big linked data? Can we
report (and analyze) examples who represent positive or negative answers
to this questions?<br></blockquote><br></div>Given this feedback, I have updated the CFP to be:<br><br><div><div>
CFP: IAOA Journal of Applied Ontology<br>
Special Issue on the Role of Ontologies in Linked Data, Big Data and Semantic Web Applications<br>
<br>
<div>The IAOA <a href="http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki/IAOA_SWAO_SIG" target="_blank">Semantic Web Applied Ontology (SWAO) Special Interest Group</a> welcomes the submission of papers (minimum of <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">xx</span> pages) discussing the role of ontologies in the areas of Linked Data,
Big Data and the Semantic Web. Our goal is to collect a diverse set of
practical, methodological and research-oriented papers concerned with
the use of ontologies in support of these areas, with a focus on content-specific integration and modelling issues.<br><br>Expanding on the topics highlighted in the <a href="http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2014_Communique" target="_blank">Ontology Summit 2014 Communique</a>, submissions should be concerned with:<br><br>* The role that ontologies play (or can play) in Linked Data, Big Data and Semantic Web Applications<br></div><div>* Engineering of ontologies to address integration and domain-specific modeling issues<br>* Sharing and reuse of ontologies within and across application or domain areas<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span><span style="background-color:rgb(243,243,243)"></span></span></span><br></div><div>* Automation and tooling in support of ontology development<br><br></div><div>Papers should be formatted and submitted according to the <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">guidelines</span> of the <a href="http://www.iaoa.org/jao/jao.html">IAOA Journal of Applied Ontology</a>.
