SPECIAL TRACK on METADATA & SEMANTICS for CULTURAL COLLECTIONS &
APPLICATIONS <http://www.ionio.gr/labs/dbis/mtsr2018/>
Part of the 12th International Conference on Metadata and Semantics
Research (MTSR 2018) <http://www.mtsr-conf.org/>, October 23 – 26 2018,
Limassol, Cyprus.
NEW Submission deadline: JULY 1st, 2018
Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series
<https://www.springer.com/series/7899>
AIM AND SCOPE
Cultural Heritage collections are essential knowledge infrastructures that
provide a solid representation of the historical background of human
communities. These knowledge infrastructures are constructed from and
integrate cultural information derived from diverse memory institutions, mainly
libraries, archives and museums. Each individual community has spent a lot
of effort in order to develop, support and promote its own systems, tools
and metadata for the management of cultural information, mainly related to
its particular resources and use.
In this framework, the management of the cultural information has to deal
with challenges related to (i) metadata modeling, specification,
standardization, extraction, (semantic) enrichment, mapping, integration,
effective use, and evaluation, (ii) knowledge representation as
conceptualization
to provide the context for unambiguously interpreting metadata, and (iii)
information integration from different contexts for the provision of
integrated access, reuse and advanced services to users.
At the same time, there are also inter-domain efforts targeted to
semantically align data (research data, educational data, public sector
information etc.) to cultural information. New challenges are also emerged
from the need to incorporate cultural information into the new publication
paradigms, where a variety of resources (data, metadata, processes,
results, etc) are linked and integrated, providing better shareability and
reusability. Currently, Linked (Open) Data, as part of the Semantic Web
Technology, is having a major role in modernizing cultural heritage
collections. Providing to users the possibility to re-use and integrate
data into their own systems is currently more than a need, given that
transparency and access to information is a prerequisite. A critical factor
to the effectiveness of many aspects of all the above efforts is the
quality of metadata, as interpreted by its context and use and evaluated by
the proper measures and methods. Many institutions and aggregate
infrastructures are dealing with the poor quality of metadata that
inevitably results in poor integration, search and reuse, while their
enrichment, in terms of contextualization, co-referencing, alignment, etc,
is really challenging.
The aim of this Special Track is to maintain a dialogue where researchers
and practitioners working on all the aspects of the cultural information
will come together and exchange ideas about open issues at all stages of
the cultural heritage information life cycle. The track also welcomes works
related to semantics and applications for new approaches to cultural
information publication and sharing, as well as to interlinking to other
datasets published in the Semantic Web universe.
TOPICS
The papers in this special track should be original and of high quality,
addressing issues in areas
such as:
* Cultural Heritage metadata models, standards, ontologies, knowledge
organization and representation systems
* Cultural Heritage information integration, interoperability and mappings
* Automated extraction of metadata, entities, and patterns from Cultural
Heritage resources
* Metadata manual or automated (Semantic) enrichment and search
* Metadata quality metrics, tools and services
* Linked Open Data approaches in the Cultural Heritage domain
* Publication, linking and citation of Cultural Heritage information and
resources
* Large volume content management
* 3D models-indexing, storage and retrieval approaches
* Infrastructures for sharing content
* Digital Curation workflows and models
* Provenance and preservation metadata for Cultural Heritage digital
resources
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors can submit either full papers (12 pages) or short papers (6 pages).
Submitted papers have to follow the LNCS proceedings formatting style and
guidelines <http://www.mtsr-conf.org/index.php/paper-submission>.
The submitted papers will undergo the same peer review as the submissions
for MTSR 2018 and accepted contributions will be published in the MTSR 2018
proceedings (Springer CCIS series <https://www.springer.com/series/7899>).
Authors of accepted papers will be asked to register to the Conference and
present their work.
Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended and revised
versions of their papers for possible publication in selected international
journals, including the International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and
Ontologies (Inderscience), and Program (Emerald).
More information on submission can be found at the MTSR 2018 call for
papers web page <http://www.mtsr-conf.org/index.php/call-for-papers>.

Hi everyone!
This month, we warmly invite you to take part in a community
consultation on Wikimedia Commons, to list the basic properties that
media files will need for structured data.
Some explanation here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Fee…
And you can leave your input on the talk page:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Structured_data/Get_involve…
Please take a look, as this is an important opportunity to make sure
that basic properties for GLAM files will be taken into account! We have
already collected some examples of 'GLAM-ish files': a (photographed) 3D
object, a map, an engraving, a digitized film, the interior of a
building, and a photo related to performing arts - but you are
encouraged to add more examples to the mix! For instance, digitized
books and manuscripts are not included yet...
Thank you - and see you on wiki! :-)
Cheers, Sandra
ps. For those attending Wikimania and its pre-conference: we will also
collect input during the hackathon.
Hi everyone,
As always, people interested in Structured Data on Commons from a GLAM
perspective are also very welcome at this IRC Office Hour. I will be
there to answer questions!
Warmly, Sandra

Hi everyone,
The first conversation about structured licensing and copyright on
Commons for the Structured Data project [0] is available for
participation [1]. The purpose of the discussion is to help identify the
best way to build a model for copyright information and licenses on
Commons.
In this phase, we are discussing how we can approach licensing on
Commons in general. We can stay close to the current situation of
copyright templates on Commons; or we can rethink the way we treat
copyright and licenses so that we are compatible with other schemes and
systems used by other institutions; or maybe we want to have another
approach altogether.
More detailed discussions will come later this year.
If you have experience with copyright on Commons, and have ideas on how
we can positively impact work with GLAMs in this area, please provide
feedback! Your input is crucial :-)
Warmly, Sandra

WikiConference North America needs your help! We want your input on the
needs and wants for our conference. This is your chance to let us know the
problems, goals, and types of programming you think our North American
Wikimedia community needs to focus on.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFcST3dDx6Za7nSxGW
iCl4YgkYpWsZl05y3j_ceplY_R6JuA/viewform
The survey shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, and is a prerequisite for
us to get grant funding from the Wikimedia Foundation - so your input is
greatly appreciated!
If you haven't heard yet, we're thrilled to announce that WikiConference
North America 2018 will be happening in Columbus, Ohio from October 18 -
21. Stay tuned to our website for details, and follow us on social media to
be kept up to date.
