LJC
Dear all,
---apologies for cross-posting---
On behalf of the co-organizers, I pleased to announce the 5th edition of DaMaLOS workshop, co-located with ESWC as part of the Joint Workshops on Joint Workshops for Research Management (MaRA).
Please consider to submit your contributions by 2025-05-20 on topics around machine-actionable DMPs and SMPs; machine/deep learning approaches on rich metadata and/or research management plans; FAIRification; FAIR by design; FAIR assessment; FAIR enabling; FAIR assistance; recognition, publication and citation for data, software and other research digital objects; and scientometrics beyond the scholarly publication.

Kind regards, -----
DaMaLOS 2025 - Call for papers
DaMaLOS 2025 - 5th Workshop on Metadata and Research (objects) Management for Linked Open Science
Where: Co-located with ESWC 2025 to be held in Portoroz, Slovenia
When: 1st or 2nd of June 2025 (TBC)
Submissions: https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/77706/submitter (deadline 2025-05-20)
More information at: https://zbmed.github.io/damalos/
Email: mara-dama...@googlegroups.com
DaMaLOS explores requirements for research digital objects (e.g., data, software, workflows, ro-crates) and their corresponding management plans to effectively instantiate an integrated layer supporting Linked Open Science (i.e., Open Science plus Linked Open Data). DaMaLOS welcomes contributions aligned to the following topics: machine-actionable DMPs and SMPs; machine/deep learning approaches around rich metadata and/or research management plans; FAIRification; FAIR by design; FAIR assessment; FAIR enabling; FAIR assistance; recognition, publication and citation for data, software and other research digital objects; and scientometrics beyond the scholarly publication (i.e., combining the different digital objects playing a role in the research cycle).
Submission guidelines
This year DaMaLOS welcomes submissions in the form of long (up to 12 pages) and short (up to 6 pages) research papers, research objects (up to 3 pages), position papers (up to 6 pages), demos (up to 3 pages), posters (up to 3 pages). References are not counted within the page limit. Please use numbered citations in sequential order, e.g., APA style, and whenever possible add a (DOI) link. Accepted papers will go to the proceedings of the workshop and will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license at PUBLISSO FRL indexed by LIVIVO and DBLP. Papers should be formatted according to LNCS templates. Accepted workshop papers aligned with Life Sciences or domain-agnostic will be later invited to submit an extended and improved version to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS).
Topics of interest
Research management
Importance, automatization (including machine/deep learning approaches) and connections across Research Data and Software (and other digital objects) Management for Linked Open Science (LOS, i.e., Open Science + Linked Open Data principles)
Special features/metadata required in research management plans for LOS
Extensions to current RDM plans to better support LOS
FAIRness and FAIRification
Integration/alignment between FAIR and research management plans
FAIRification processes, either by design or post-research-object creation
FAIR tooling, e.g., evaluators, extensions, governance
FAIR enabling and FAIR assistance
RO-Crates, Signposting and FDOs
Open Science and Scientometrics
Benefits of LOS over Open Science
How research plans and LOS can be used to improve collection and storage of (usually volatile) data produced at, e.g., conferences
Integration of software, data, and other research outcomes into science-related metrics
