The submission deadline for the seventh conference "Semantic Web in
Libraries" (SWIB), November 23 - 25 in Hamburg, has been extended to
May 31, 2015.

The call for proposals:

SWIB15 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference 23.11. - 25.11.2015,
Hamburg, Germany

The SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries, German: "Semantic Web
in Bibliotheken") is an annual conference focusing on Semantic Web and
Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related organisations. It is
held in Germany, by turns in the Cologne region and Hamburg. 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. SWIB mainly targets IT staff, developers,
librarians and researchers.

As in prior years, SWIB15 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.

Is there an interesting service, research topic or project that you
would like to present at the conference? Would you like to offer a
pre-conference tutorial or workshop on the afternoon of 23 November?
We appreciate proposals on the following or related topics:
