Hello,

I forward another message from Mike Bennett, intended to be distributed 
on this list.

Best regards,

Everyone,

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.

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:

http://www.iossubmissions.com/applied-ontology/content/propose-special-issue

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.

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.

I hope you can make today's call.

Best regards,

Mike Bennett


  Call for Papers [DRAFT FOR REVIEW]

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://www.iaoa.org/sig/swao/] welcomes the submission of papers 
focusing on 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 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].

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.iossubmissions.com/applied-ontology/]. The guidelines are 
found under the tab, "Submission of Manuscripts".
