From: "K.S. Raghavan" <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Fri, March 08, 2016 9:23 am Call-for-papers for a special issue of LIBRES e-journal (http://libres-ejournal.info/) Topic: Ontology Development and Application: Issues and Lessons Learnt Recent technological developments have enabled ready access to more information and data than can be comprehended and managed effectively. Ontology is an important knowledge organization tool and has a crucial role to play in capturing, organizing, representing and assigning meaning to information, data and knowledge. However, even after three decades of esearch, ontology development remains within the realm of research and has not entered the daily professional activity of librarians and information professionals. Ontology promises to enable intelligent Web applications, but such intelligent applications do not seem to have invaded the public and business domains. Many papers on ontology are merely descriptive - describing an ontology, ontology construction process, or a prototype application; there has been insufficient effort to draw out lessons and derive fundamental principles. This special issue of LIBRES seeks to identify such lessons and principles related to ontology development and application, and to suggest a direction for ontology research in the field of Information Studies. Papers that focus on issues and challenges in building large-scale ontologies, representing complex semantic constructs in languages like OWL, merging ontologies as well as successful designs for systems and experiments in the use of ontologies in knowledge management, information retrieval and knowledge discovery are sought. The special issue will also seek to bridge the gap between perceptions of the LIS community and ontology engineers to suggest a way forward. Critical papers on ontology editors both commercial and open source software will also be considered for publication. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Deadlines: - Submission of title & abstract for preliminary review: May 15, 2016 - Submission of full paper for review: June 30, 2016 Author guidelines can be found at: http://libres-ejournal.info/author-guidelines/ LIBRES is a peer-reviewed open-access journal, published by Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information. It was previously published by Curtin University (Australia), Department of Information Studies. LIBRES is indexed by ISA, LISA, EBSCO, Scopus and Cabells.
