KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies invites proposals for
its Special Issue on Metadata, Knowledge, and Open Knowledge Projects
https://kula.journals.publicknowledgeproject.org/index.php/kula/announcemen…
We encourage submissions on a wide range of work, projects, and ideas in relation to
metadata and knowledge including, but not limited to, the following:
· How metadata functions as knowledge and/or creates meaning
· The use of linked open data to facilitate the interaction between metadata and
bodies of knowledge
· Critiques of metadata and what is “knowable”
· The role of metadata and open knowledge in addressing, or not addressing, issues
of under- and misrepresentation of traditionally marginalized groups and knowledge
· The role of metadata and open knowledge projects in addressing human rights
issues and inequality
· The creation of tools and technologies that allow metadata and open knowledge
platform data to interact and flow into one another
· Open knowledge projects that re-purpose metadata created elsewhere
· Cultural heritage organization (libraries, archives, galleries, and museums) and
academic projects that contribute to or leverage open knowledge platforms such as
Wikidata
· Reports of practical and technical elements of the contribution and reception of
open and community-contributed knowledge in cultural heritage organization and academic
project metadata
We are seeking contributions in diverse formats: short- to medium-length scholarly
articles; project or technical reports; and creative (visual and/or audio) representations
of projects or ongoing work. Please submit abstracts of 300-500 words through the
journal’s website by January 31, 2021. Based on these abstracts, we will then invite
authors to submit full pieces for editorial consideration and, if applicable, peer
review.
For more information please see the KULA website:

York University recognizes that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships
with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the
establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the
traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care
taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. It
is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. We acknowledge the current
treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of
the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for
the Great Lakes region.
