[Adrian Pohl]

Call for Proposals: SWIB14 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference
1.12. - 3.12.2014, Bonn, 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 the library world. It is held 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, SWIB14 will be organized by the North Rhine-Westphalian 
Library Service Centre (hbz) and the ZBW - German National Library of 
Economics / Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. The conference 
language is English.
 
Is there an interesting service, research 
topic or project that you would like to present at the conference? Or 
would you like to offer a pre-conference tutorial or workshop on the 
afternoon of 1 December? We appreciate proposals on the following or 
related topics:
