["Adrian Pohl" <pohl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The submission deadline for  the sixth conference "Semantic Web in
Libraries" (SWIB),  1.-3.12.2014 in Bonn, has been extended to June 1,
2014. 

The call for proposals here once again:

Call for Proposals: SWIB14 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference 1.12.
- 3.12.2014, Bonn, Germany

The SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries, German: "Semantic Web
in Bibliotheken") is an annual conference focusing on Semantic Web and
Linked Open Data (LOD) in the library world. It is held by turns in the
Cologne region and Hamburg. The topics of talks and workshops at SWIB
revolve around opening data, linking data and creating tools and
software for LOD production scenarios. These areas of focus are
supplemented by presentations of research projects in applied sciences,
industry applications, and LOD activities in other areas. SWIB mainly
targets IT staff, developers, librarians and researchers.

As in prior years, SWIB14 will be organized by the North
Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz) and the ZBW - German
National Library of Economics / Leibniz Information Centre for
Economics. The conference language is English.

Is there an interesting service, research topic or project that you
would like to present at the conference? Or would you like to offer a
pre-conference tutorial or workshop on the afternoon of 1 December? We
appreciate proposals on the following or related topics:
