The current copyright framework poses challenges for the creation and consumption of visual art and related scholarship, as the analog media of the past have been supplanted by a digital world. In the age of social distancing and remoteness, how will the copyright framework be challenged, both domestically and globally, with the new reliance on the digital?
Copyright will continue guiding the creation, maintenance, distribution, and consumption of visual art and scholarship both domestically and globally, but what are the copyright-related best practices to help ensure a smoother transition to meet increasing demand for digital access?
This panel seeks to address how the age of remoteness could (re)define the copyright best practices and informational resources for those navigating a world functioning online and digitally at an unprecedented magnitude. How does the age of remoteness alter our concept of fair use and open access in the arenas of performance, publishing, and online education, for example? We welcome papers across geographic contexts and from different perspectives, including that of artists, archivists, designers, technologists, lawyers, librarians, scholars, publishers, and museum professionals.

The 14th International Conference on Metadata and Semantics Research (MTSR
2020), as well as the
SPECIAL TRACK on METADATA & SEMANTICS for CULTURAL COLLECTIONS &
APPLICATIONS, due to the
COVID-19 pandemic will take place virtually on 30th November - 4th December
2020.

Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series. CCIS is
abstracted/indexed in Scopus, SCImago,
EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, DBLP, Google Scholar. CCIS volumes are
also submitted for the
inclusion in ISI Proceedings.
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.
Submissions should be original and not previously submitted, published and
under review to other
Conferences or Journals.The submitted papers will undergo the same peer
review as the submissions
for MTSR 2020 and accepted contributions will be published in the MTSR 2020
proceedings (Springer CCIS
series). Authors of accepted papers will be asked to register to the
Conference and present their work.
Selected papers might be considered for a revised and extended version to
be published in a range of
international journals, including the International Journal of Metadata,
Semantics and Ontologies
(Inderscience), and Data Technologies and Applications (previously
published as Program, Emerald).
More information on submission can be found at the MTSR 2020 call for
papers web page.
