3rd International Workshop on Semantic Web and Ontology Design for
Cultural Heritage (SWODCH 2023)@ISWC 2023, 22nd International Semantic
Web Conference
November 6/7, 2023, Athens, Greece

*WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIMS*
SWODCH 2023 is the third edition of the International Workshop on
Semantic Web and Ontology Design for Cultural Heritage. The purpose of
the workshop is two-fold: First, it aims to gather foundational
research work on the design of conceptual models, knowledge graphs,
ontologies, and Semantic Web (SW) technologies for Cultural Heritage
(CH) and the Digital Humanities (DH). A plethora of heterogeneous and
multi-format data currently available in these domains asks for
principled methodologies and technologies to semantically
characterise, integrate, and reason with data, and to support their
retrieval, management, analysis and visualisation. We also welcome
philosophical and sociological analyses of data, knowledge
representation models and modelling practices in CH and DH, possibly
taking into account the social or historical dimensions of data.
Second, SWODCH aims to bring together stakeholders from various fields
of Computer Science and the Humanities, involved in the development
and deployment of concrete SW solutions for CH, efficiently building,
managing, exploring, visualising or mining CH knowledge graphs. More
than 20 years after the beginning of this century, any SW solution
should be designed according to the FAIR principles and the workshop
supports the creation of datasets and applications that respect and
are compliant with these principles.
*IMPORTANT DATES*
- Paper submission deadline: August 25, 2023
- Notification of acceptance: September 22, 2023
- Camera-ready papers: September 29, 2023
- Workshop Date: November 6/7, 2023
*LOCATION*
SWODCH 2023 will be co-located with the 22nd International Semantic
Web Conference (ISWC 2023) in Athens, Greece.
*LIST OF TOPICS*
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Conceptual analysis and ontology design for the Digital Humanities
- Domain ontologies or conceptual models for different fields of Humanities
- Methodological aspects of ontology development for the DH
- Application of formal ontology theories in the DH
- Case studies and lessons learnt from the use of standard ontologies
(e.g. CIDOC-CRM)
- Logical and ontological analysis of CIDOC-CRM or FRBR, e.g., with
respect to foundational ontologies (DOLCE, UFO, BFO, etc.)
- Philosophical and sociological analysis of digital models and
modelling practices in DH
- Social studies on the policies towards the standardisation of
ontologies in DH
Semantic Web Technologies and Applications for Cultural Heritage
- SW technologies for CH content creation, annotation and extraction
- SW architectures and infrastructures for CH
- Interoperability of CH collections
- Applying the FAIR data principles to CH data
- CH knowledge graphs
- Searching, querying and visualising CH data on the SW
- Ontology-based access to CH data
- Publishing CH data on the Web
- Navigating through and browsing CH data on the Web
- SW solutions for trust and provenance issues in CH
- SW applications for digital libraries, museums, tourism, the
creative industries, etc.
*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES*
We will accept two different types of contributions:
- Full papers for presenting original unpublished work, neither
submitted to nor accepted for presentation at any other venue.
Submitted *full papers* should be between 10 and 12 pages, including
references.
- Short papers for presenting work in progress, brief descriptions of
doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. Submitted
*short papers* should be between 6 and 8 pages, including references.
All contributions to the workshop must be submitted according to the
1-column CEUR-ART style format. The style files for this format are
available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. An Overleaf page
is also available for LaTeX users:
https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt.
Papers should be submitted in PDF format through this link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swodch2023
Papers will be reviewed on the basis of their scientific merit,
originality and relevance to the workshop. Each paper will be reviewed
by at least three Program Committee members.
*PUBLICATION*
Accepted papers will be published in a CEUR-WS volume. We are in
discussions with the editors of a journal to organise a special issue
with extended versions of selected papers after the end of the workshop.
