[iaoa-swao] Fwd: Journal Issue

[Andrea Westerinen]

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:

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 www.applied-ontology.org. In
> addition, the guest editors should be well-recognized in the field.
>
> The proposal at hand certainly fits the journal'scope. I would however
> encourage the proposers to stimulate the presentation of papers* focusing
> on content-specific integration issues or on modelling issues*, 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?

Given this feedback, I have updated the CFP to be:

CFP: IAOA Journal of 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://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki/IAOA_SWAO_SIG> welcomes the submission of
papers (minimum of xx 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.

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 issues
* Sharing and reuse of ontologies within and across application or domain
areas
* Automation and tooling in support of ontology development

Papers should be formatted and submitted according to the guidelines
of the IAOA
Journal of Applied Ontology <http://www.iaoa.org/jao/jao.html>.  The
guidelines are found under the tab, "Manuscript submissions & Author
instructions".
