LIS'2016 - Call for Papers

Auch im kommenden Jahr wird es einen LIS-Workshop als Teil der Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Klassifikation geben. Da diese gleichzeitig mit dem Leipziger Bibliothekskongress stattfindet, wird der LIS-Workshop jedoch im Rahmen des Bibliothekskongresses abgehalten (am ersten Kongresstag, also am Montag, 14. März 2016). Entsprechend erbitten wir auch die Einreichungen über die Website des Bibliothekskongresses. Bitte beachten Sie den Einreichungsschluss am 11. September!

The Workshop on Classification and Subject Indexing in Library and Information Science (LIS'2016) is held in conjunction with the Sixth Library Congress Leipzig on 14. March 2016 at the Congress Center of Leipzig.

The Workshop on Library and Information Science (LIS'2016) solicits contributions on the role of classification and data analysis in this domain. Topics in these area include but are not limited to:

• Classification and subject indexing in the context of catalogs and resource discovery systems
• Methods, approaches and applications in subject indexing, classification and data analysis in different countries
• Open Access to classification systems: How can we provide a sustainable classification infrastructure?
• Linked (subject) data (E.g. Faceted classification and Linked Data architectures: a happy alignment?)
• Classification, Subject indexing and the Semantic Web (E.g. Taxonomies and Semantic Web Ontologies: how closely are they related to each other?)
• Automatic and manual methods in Classification and Subject indexing (E.g. Mappings, concordances, heuristics)
• Classification of research data
• Subject retrieval in multilingual and multicultural environments
• Serendipity in library collections and digital libraries

The workshop languages are German and English.

Participants intending to present a talk are invited to submit an abstract via the conference website of the Sixth Library Congress:

Please select Topic 3 "Wissen organisieren und erhalten" and state that your contribution will be part of the LIS Workshop. All abstracts will undergo a reviewing process.

Please note that the abstract submission deadline is 11. September 2015.

Accepted contributed and invited presentations may be published as post conference peer-reviewed full papers in the open access e-journal Archives of Data Science.

In addition a selected number of peer-reviewed papers will be published in a Special Issue of the Journal Advances in Data Analysis and Classification (ADAC).
