OBJECTIVES:

 

The Semantic Digital Archives Workshop aims at promoting and discussing
sophisticated knowledge representation and knowledge management solutions
specifically designed for improving Archival Information Systems.

 

Over the past couple of decades, digitally created content has come to
permeate all aspects of our lives and the life cycle of these objects is
increasingly exclusively digital. Therefore, sustainable long-term curation
perspectives for our digital cultural heritage are essential.

Digital content poses many socio-cultural and technological challenges which
create obstacles to long-term or indefinite preservation.

Changing technologies and shifting user communities as well as the
increasing complexity of digital content being enriched with software and
multimedia attachments are only a few examples. Dealing with these
challenges is the central theme of the workshop.

 

This full day workshop is an exciting opportunity for collaboration and
cross-fertilization between the Digital Libraries, the Digital Archives and
the Semantic Web community. It specifically encourages closer dialogue
between the technical oriented communities and researchers from the
(digital) humanities and social sciences as well as cultural heritage
institutions.

 

 

 

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

 

We intend to have an open discussion on topics related to the general
subject of Semantic Digital Archives. The following list of topics is meant
as an initial guide.

Hence, we welcome contributions that focus on, but are not limited to:

 

* ontologies and linked data for digital archives and digital libraries,
e.g. semantic extensions of common knowledge models of the digital archiving
and digital libraries domain, e.g. METS, EAD, PREMIS, ...

* ontologies and (semantic) web services implementing the OAIS standard

* theoretical and practical archiving frameworks extending or replacing the
OAIS standard

* logical theories for digital archives

* implementations and evaluations of digital archives

* semantic or logical provenance models for digital archives or digital
libraries

* information integration/semantic ingest (e.g. from digital libraries)

* trust for ingest and data security/integrity check for long-term storage
of archival records

* semantic search and semantic information retrieval in digital archives and
digital libraries

* visualization and exploration of digital content (stored or to be stored
in a digital archive)

* semantic extensions of emulation/virtualization methodologies tailored for
digital archives

* migration strategies based on semantic (web) technologies

* semantic long-term storage and hardware organization tailored for AIS

* (empirical) studies evaluating end-user needs and its evolution as well as
information seeking behaviour of end-user needs and its evolution

* knowledge evolution

 

 

 

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

 

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers related
to the aforementioned topics. We invite:

* regular papers (10 to 12 pages)

* short papers (4 to 6 pages)

 

All submissions are required to be in pdf format. Long and short paper
submissions should be in the Springer's LNCS format.

 

Submissions are to be made via the submission web site:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sda2011

 

Submissions will be reviewed by the three members of the Program Committee.
All papers accepted at the Semantic Digital Archives Workshop must be
presented during the Workshop by a SDA Workshop registered participant. All
papers will be published in workshop proceedings, which will be available as
a separate publication after the Workshop

 

 

 

IMPORTANT DATES:

 

* Deadline for Submissions: 30 June 2011

 

* Acceptance Notification: 30. July 2011
