Submission instructions:
This special issue will especially welcome Full papers, Linked Dataset Descriptions and Descriptions of Ontologies as specified here: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors Please write us an email first before preparing submissions for other submission types.
Full papers:
Full papers contain original research results. These submissions will be reviewed along the usual dimensions for research contributions which include originality, significance of the results, and quality of writing. Any submission that is an extension of previous work must clearly declare the reference and justify the scientific progress of the extension.
Linked data set and ontology descriptions:
We invite submissions of data sets and a 4-6 page written description of the data. This special issue follows the MLODE 2012 Workshop[10] in Leipzig and in addition to submissions by participants of the workshop we also strongly encourage novel submissions. Note that the workshop focuses on the quality and availability of the data, while this issue focuses on the data *and* the written article.
We require that:
- The data is clearly licensed, standardized licenses are recommended.
- Submitted data must be available free for academic usage. Open licences are welcome.
- The data is openly accessible and follows web standards, especially RDF.
Technical instructions for contributing data sets:
Please send us the data in advance for validation. We have a strict “data first” policy. The data you send us will be evaluated and we will provide guidance and support, if necessary. After the data review you will be allowed to submit your paper. Full details of requirements are available at http://wiki.okfn.org/Working_Groups/Linguistics/How_to_contribute
Deadlines:
As a result of the MLODE workshop, we will provide an updated image of the LLOD cloud:
