Everyone, <br>
<br>
Last month we finalized the proposed wording of a "Call for Papers"
for the special edition that this SIG has been discussing for the
Journal of Applied Ontology. <br>
<br>
Firstly my apologies, this was meant to go out mid June - I ended up
in the US for a couple of weeks and forgot to take the words with
me. However, I also discovered, almost by accident, that there is a
more detailed procedure we ought to follow in proposing such an
issue, as described on the following page: <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.iossubmissions.com/applied-ontology/content/propose-special-issue">http://www.iossubmissions.com/applied-ontology/content/propose-special-issue</a><br>
<br>
So it's likely that the responses we were getting from the folks
there, were based on the assumption that we were aware of this page,
which I (at least) was not. Presumably the next step therefore is
not to simply send out the Call for Papers as we had agreed, but to
submit it into this process along with the other details. I think
everything being asked for here is stuff we have already figured
out. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, below is the proposed Call for Papers wording, for
members of this SIG to consider and review. At today's meeting we
will work out what happens next and put that sequence of events into
action. Note that we have proposed a long time for proposals since
we are looking for research papers. I've kept the mid-month date so
as to avoid year end. <br>
<br>
I hope you can make today's call. <br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
<br>
Mike Bennett<br>
