SWIB11 (Semantic Web in Libraries) 28.-30.11.2011 in Hamburg
publishes conference program and opens registration

http://swib.org/swib11/

A rising number of actors in librarianship and its related fields
are experimenting with Semantic Web technologies and Linked Open
Data (LOD). The LOD cloud as a whole grew by 300% in 2010, whereas
the amount of data relevant for libraries grew by nearly 1000%.
For many, the question now arises how to integrate their holdings
into the LOD cloud and how to embed externally provided LOD data
into their own applications, adding value through cross-domain
linking. The first conference day will focus on the corresponding
infrastructure requirements.

At the same time, the principles and workflows of traditional
scholarly communication and publication are under scrutiny with a
view to a consistently web-based data and service infrastructure
comprising the entire research and publication process. Concepts
like "Semantic Publishing", "Enhanced Publications" or "Research
Objects" mark the re-orientation of academic work, away from
monolithic, comparatively unflexible and barely interlinked
reference points towards a distributed, comparatively granular
data infrastructure which is continuously accessible to
researchers and into which their contributions recognizably
return. These developments will be discussed on the second day of
the conference.

For the first time we offer workshops and tutorials on the day
before the main conference, providing introductions into Linked
Open Data for newcomers and practice-oriented discussion of
selected problems.

The conference will again - as in 2009 and 2010 - be organised by
the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz), Cologne,
and the German National Library of Economics - Leibniz Information
Centre for Economics (ZBW), Kiel and Hamburg.
