The objective of this conference is to explore cutting edge advances and techniques in the visualization of knowledge across various fields of application and their potential impact on developments in the more main stream bibliographic and documentary classifications.

We invite overviews, illustrations and analysis of approaches to and models of the visualization of knowledge that can help advance the application of documentary and bibliographic classifications in information and knowledge discovery. We welcome high quality, innovative research contributions from various fields of application including:

– visualization of knowledge orders (e.g. scientific taxonomies, Wikipedia)

– visualization of collection content, large datasets

– visualization of knowledge classifications for the purpose of managing the classifications and working with them

– visualization of knowledge to support interactive searching, user browsing behaviour (IR) and classification as an aid to information navigation

Specific topics may include:

1. Issues and challenges in visualization of conceptual structures and knowledge in general, e.g. development of knowledge over time, shift in knowledge structures (dynamic knowledge), interactions between knowledge structures, socio-cultural issues, technical challenges (incl. animation, simulation)

2. Knowledge visualization models and metaphors: theory, methods, overviews, analysis

3. Visualization of classification in: information searching and browsing (e.g. search expansion, result display); visualization of knowledge in relation to user information needs

4. Presentation and visualization related to specific types of knowledge classification structure (e.g. faceted and enumerative hierarchies, polyhierarchical and/or aspect classifications etc.)

5. Classification as an aid in presenting and navigating large datasets, or providing an overview of collection content for resource discovery or management purposes

6. Visualization as an aid to cross-collection, cross-language, cross-vocabulary knowledge browsing

7. Relationships between classification data formats and classification visualization

We invite two kinds of contributions: conference papers and posters. Paper proposals should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words including references for papers and 500-600 words for posters). A submission form is provided on the conference website.

Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed at the conference.

IMPORTANT DATES:

15 Jan 2013    Paper proposal submission deadline

15 Feb 2013    Notification of acceptance

Dirigidas a professores, investigadores, estudantes e bibliotecários as presentes jornadas têm como propósito reunir peritos nas áreas das ciências e humanidades para reflectirem sobre o sentido das respectivas actividades, aprofundando algumas destas questões. Como comunicam os cientistas com os seus pares, e que consequências importa essa forma de o fazer para a ciência que produzem? Que desafios trazem os modos de publicação emergentes – nomeadamente publicação digital, open access, LOTE, o papel das actividades de arquivo e indexação, aspectos sociais e políticos da classificação e ranking de publicações, – e podem as Humanidades abraça-los sem reservas, são algumas das questões que orientam os trabalhos.

Comunicar Ciência: A Publicação Científica e os seus Públicos é um dos eventos associados à International Open Access Week.

The second ANADP (Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation) conference has been scheduled for Barcelona, Spain on November 18-20, 2013. This is a follow on to the first ANADP conference which was held in Tallinn, Estonia in May 2011, which was an excellent discussion of potential alignment strategies across various national preservation programs and was documented in a 2012 volume of proceedings published by the Educopia Institute. The outcomes from this meeting, and strategies for moving ahead, have been refined at a 2012 workshop held in connection with iPres, and a just-concluded January 14, 2013 Workshop held in conjunction with the International Digital Curation Conference now taking place in Amsterdam. (I will share a pointer to materials from the January workshop when they are available.)

Information on the ANADP 2 conference, plus pointers to more background on the first ANDAP conference can be found at

The sharing and re-use of research information is becoming an increasingly important aspect of scientific activity. Text publications are – and will be at least for the near future – the predominant way of publishing research output and challenges still exist for their optimal recording and dissemination. Meanwhile, scientific communities recognise the immense significance of storing, discovering, processing, preserving and re-using data sets as well as other types of research objects like workflows and software. Furthermore, Public Sector Information, potentially valuable for research purposes, is provided openly by governments although not always in forms that enable re-use.

Metadata is a critical factor in this area, actually providing the means to promote black-box digital files to discoverable and re-usable objects. A key requirement is capturing and disseminating rich descriptions of research output in standard, semantically clear forms, including contextual and provenance information, such as relationships of publications and data sets with people, organisations, funding information, facilities and equipment. This metadata needs to be some extent independent of a particular research domain, to foster collaboration and re-use of data sets across disciplines and vertical communities, while still allowing the recording and utilisation of domain-specific information. A range of open issues have to be addressed towards these goals.

The aim of this Special Track is to serve as a forum for experts to present recent results and experiences, establish liaisons with other groups and reflect on the state-of-the-art of metadata and semantic aspectsof open repositories, research information systems and data infrastructures.

Washington, DC – The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) is pleased to announce panel topics and to invite participants to register for the Spring event set to take place in Kansas City, Missouri on March 3-4, 2014.

The past year has seen growing momentum on many fronts of the movement towards “open”. Advances in the areas of open access, open data, and open educational resources have grown exponentially since the last SPARC Open Access Meeting was convened in 2012. As this push for greater openness continues, these three fronts are converging in interesting and potentially transformative ways. Join us as leaders from the library community, academia, industry, student community, and other research avenues discuss how open access, open data, and open educational resources are intersecting, and the impact this convergence will have on research and discovery. The meeting is designed to emphasize collaborative actions that stakeholders can take to positively impact publishing, policy, digital repositories, author rights, and licensing.
