CALL FOR PAPERS IRCDL 2023
The Conference on Information and Research science Connecting to Digital and Library science 2023 (Formerly the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries)
Bari, Italy - 23-24 February 2023
Venue: University of Bari "Aldo Moro", Bari, Italy
Website: http://lacam.di.uniba.it/IRCDL23/
==================================================================
Since 2005 the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries is a yearly date for researchers on Digital Libraries and related topics, organized by the Italian Research Community. Over the years IRCDL has become an important national forum focused on technical, practical, and social issues. IRCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term “digital libraries”, including new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries may be viewed as a new form of information institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide.
Representatives from academia, government, industry, research communities, research infrastructures, and others are invited to participate in this conference. The conference draws from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, social sciences, cultural heritage and humanities, and scientific communities.
This year its focus is on Artificial Intelligence and Semantic Web Technologies Empowering Digital Libraries. AI is nowadays pervasive and is being embedded in all kinds of applications. Its techniques – from Knowledge Representation and Reasoning to Machine Learning and Data Mining, from Natural Language Processing to Image Processing, etc. – and application (e.g. for metadata enrichment and data analysis) may cause breakthroughs in DL research and practices for all kinds of stakeholders. Semantic Web technologies are key to exploiting the semantics of information preserved in DLs, thus enabling advanced and personalized services and functionality for its users.
Submissions are welcome concerning theory, architectures, data models, tools, services, and infrastructures about the following topics (but not limited to): - Active Learning Techniques to guide DL enrichment and curation - Applications of Digital Libraries - Applications of Machine Learning Techniques to Research Data and DL - Citation Analysis and Scientometrics - Cultural Heritage Access and Analysis - Data Citation, Provenance and Pricing - Data and Information Lifecycle (creation, store, share and reuse) - Data and Metadata Quality
- Data Repositories and Archives
- Digital Preservation and Curation - Document Analysis (Layout, Text, Images) - Knowledge Acquisition from scientific papers and data
- Knowledge Base Construction for cultural heritage - Knowledge Discovery and Representation in Digital Libraries - Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience - Information Extraction from tables and figures in scientific literature - Information Retrieval and Access - Metadata (definition, management, curation, integration) - Multi-media handling - Ontologies - Open Data and Open Science: models, practices, mandates, and policies - Quality and evaluation of digital libraries - Research Infrastructures - Scholarly Communication - Science of Science - Semantic Web Technologies and Linked Data for DLs - Services for Digital Arts and Humanities - Standards and Interoperability - User Participation
IMPORTANT DATES
*Submission Extended Deadline: 19 December 2022*
Acceptance Notification: 20 January 2023
Camera-Ready Deadline: 13 February 2023
Conference: 23-24 February 2023
SUBMISSION FORMAT
Research papers, describing original ideas on the listed topics and on other fundamental aspects of digital libraries and technology, are solicited. Moreover, short papers on early research results, new results on previous published works, discussion papers on previously published works, demos, and projects are also welcome. Research papers presenting original works should be in the 10-12 pages range, short papers should be in the 6-7 pages range and extended abstract should be 5 pages long. For all the submission types the references are not counted in the page limit. All papers must be written in English and formatted according to the new workflow for CEUR-WS style proceedings guidelines. The guidelines can be found here: http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html Authors should submit their papers as single-column. The templates are available here (we strongly recommend the usage of LaTeX for the camera-ready papers to minimize the extent of reformatting): Overleaf template in LaTeX format: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-wo... Overleaf offline template (LaTeX format): http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip Word template: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEUR-Template-1col.docx ODT template: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEUR-Template-1col.odt The accepted papers will be published in the IRCDL 2023 Proceedings. The Proceedings will be published by CEUR-WS, which is gold open access and indexed by SCOPUS and DBLP.
