FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Paper Submission Deadline: 24th June 2016
10th International Conference on
Metadata and Semantics Research (MTSR’16)
November 22-25, 2016,
Goettingen State and University Library (SUB), Germany
http://www.mtsr-conf.org/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The International Conference on Metadata and Semantics
Research(MTSR'16) will be held at the Goettingen State and University
Library (SUB) in Goettingen (Germany) on November 22-25, 2016.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MTSR’16 celebrates the conference’s 10th anniversary with the theme of
bridging the past, present and future of metadata, data and semantic
technologies. The organisers encourage prospective authors and
conference participants to reflect on the following questions:
* How the documented evidence produced over the past years can be used
as a driver for innovating management and processing of data and
information?
* How close are we from the vision of building powerful learning
systems that will meet the needs of modern societies through high
quality data infrastructures and data-driven interfaces?
* What are the main challenges that modern metadata and semantics
research has not addressed yet?
MTSR'16 brings together scholars and practitioners with common
interest in the interdisciplinary fields of metadata, data and
semantics. The conference provides an opportunity for participants to
share knowledge and novel approaches in the implementation of semantic
technologies across diverse types of information environments and
applications. These include Cultural Informatics, Open Access
Repositories and Digital Libraries, E-learning applications, Search
Engine Optimization and Information Retrieval, Research Information
Systems and Infrastructures, e-Science and e-Social Science
applications, Agriculture, Food and Environment, Bio-Health & Medical
Information Systems.
