SWIB24 – 16TH SEMANTIC WEB IN LIBRARIES CONFERENCE

25–27 November 2024, online

Call for Proposals

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 26th, 2024

The SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries) is an annual conference, 
being held for the 16th time. SWIB24 will happen online to ensure 
inclusion of as many participants as possible while minimizing the 
ecological footprint of the conference.

SWIB focuses on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related 
organizations. It is well established as an event where IT staff, 
developers, librarians, and researchers from all over the world meet and 
mingle and learn from each other. 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.

As usual, SWIB24 will be organized by the North Rhine-Westphalian 
Library Service Centre (hbz) and ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for 
Economics. The conference language is English.

We are accepting proposals for two formats:

     Presentations (20 minutes plus 5 Q&A)
     Practical workshops or tutorials (maximum 4h, including breaks), 
introductory tutorials are very welcome

The presentations will be held in the time from 14:00 to 17:00 UTC. Note 
that we will support three different time slots for workshops to 
accommodate workshop facilitators and participants from different time 
zones (East Asia/Australia, Europe/Africa, Americas).

We appreciate proposals on the following or related topics:

Projects & Applications

     integration of LOD into productive library applications
     re-use of LOD (from libraries, Wikidata and other sources)
     presenting & visualizing LOD
     graphical user interfaces for interaction with LOD (e.g. editing or 
annotation)
     (other) applications in the context of open science

Technology & Tools (focus on Open Source software)

     data 
transformation/integration/cleansing/enhancement/mapping/interlinking/validation
     data flow management, read/write linked data, providing updates & 
syncing data sources
     machine learning applications in/for libraries
     integration of symbolic and subsymbolic approaches

Standards & Best Practices

     implementation of FAIR data principles, interoperability
     open web standards relevant for libraries, data models, usable APIs
     application profiles & provenance information
     working with controlled vocabularies & knowledge organization systems
     preservation, maintenance & sustainability

Culture

     decentralization, federated structures
     consolidating open source projects
     collaboration, crowdsourcing, community building and empowerment
     diversity sensitivity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals for presentations or 
workshops by 26 May 2024. Please submit an abstract of 1000–1500 
characters using our conference system https://www.conftool.org/swib24.
