Call for Proposals: SWIB18 - 10th Semantic Web in Libraries Conference 26.11. -
28.11.2018, Bonn, Germany
Submission deadline (extended): 27 May 2018
SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries) is an annual conference, being held
for the 10th time, focusing on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related
organizations. It is well established as an event where IT staff, developers,
librarians, and researchers from over the world meet and mingle and learn from
each other. 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.
As usual, SWIB18 will be organized by the ZBW - German National Library of
Economics / Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and the North
Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz). The conference language is
English.
