Semantics, Analytics, Visualisation: Enhancing Scholarly Data (SAVE-SD 2016)

First Call for Papers

– We encourage authors to submit their papers in HTML-based formats, in particular RASH
– The proceedings of the workshop will be published in a dedicated Springer volume of the renown Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
– Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in a dedicated Special Issue of the PeerJ Computer Science Journal, the award winning peer-reviewed Open Access journal

Goals

After the great success of the past edition, we are pleased to announce SAVE-SD 2016, which wants to bring together publishers, companies and researchers from different fields (including Document and Knowledge Engineering, Semantic Web, Natural Language Processing, Scholarly Communication, Bibliometrics, Human-Computer Interaction, Information Visualisation, Bioinformatics, and Life Sciences) in order to bridge the gap between the theoretical/academic and practical/industrial aspects in regards to scholarly data.

The following topics will be addressed:
– semantics of scholarly data, i.e. how to semantically represent, categorise, connect and integrate scholarly data, in order to foster reusability and knowledge sharing;
– analytics on scholarly data, i.e. designing and implementing novel and scalable algorithms for knowledge extraction with the aim of understanding research dynamics, forecasting research trends, fostering connections between groups of researchers, informing research policies, analysing and interlinking experiments and deriving new knowledge;
– visualisation of and interaction with scholarly data, i.e. providing novel user interfaces and applications for navigating and making sense of scholarly data and highlighting their patterns and peculiarities.
