Dear colleague: Thank you for reading this email. The deadline of call for book chapter of DMSW is extended to May 15, 2009. Please circulate this information and the call for Book Chapters among your partenrs or students. We are the editors of the book about Data management in semantic web, (DMSW), this book will be published by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. (Details seen in http://grid.hust.edu.cn/DMSW-Book/). The objective of this book is to explore the technology and application of semantic data management by bringing together various research studies, presumably in different subfields. For your great accomplishment in the field of semantic web, we are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this book (Full chapter deadline: March 15, 2009). Your participation would greatly enhance the quality of this book. you can also extend your recent published paper about this topics. To provide greatest reading flexibility, the book will be organized in self-contained chapters. ==== Call for Book Chapters==== Full chapter deadline: May 15, 2009 Data Management in Semantic Web Publisher: Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Volume (s) Editors: Hai Jin, Zehua Lv http://grid.hust.edu.cn/DMSW-Book/ =============== Book Objectives & Mission Data management or information management is a very important topic in every aspects of society. Traditional data management mainly focuses on information processing which generally only involves with data of a single organization. In the systems, data are unified according to same schema and there exists an agreement between the interacting units as to the correct mapping between these concepts. Nowadays, data management systems have to handle a variety of data sources, from proprietary ones to data publicly available. Grasping relevant information and exchanging information has become an essential challenge for data management. In a word, information sharing is now primary goal of data management. Information sharing is not a new concern, and some solutions based on the syntactic functionality provided by exchange standards or standard formatting were proposed. However, now information has to be sharable in an open environment, where interacting units do not necessarily share a common understanding of the world. Lack of common background generates the need for explicit guidance in understanding the exact meaning of the data, i.e., its semantics. This makes semantic data management emerge strongly which takes the issue far beyond information sharing based on exchange standards or standard formatting. The aim of semantic data management is to make content easier for machines to find, access and process by expressing data and meaning in standard machine-readable format and supporting decentralized definition and management. Hence, the objective of this book is to explore the technology and application of semantic data management by bringing together various research studies, presumably in different subfields. To provide greatest reading flexibility, the book will be organized in self-contained chapters Topics Ontology concepts; Description logic; Semantic web; Semantic data representation; Semantic data clustering; Semantic data extraction: metadata extraction, entity identify etc; Semantic data storage; Semantic Query; Semantic search, evaluation and ranking; Semantics for enterprise information management (EIM); Visual techniques and application for the semantic data; Semantic service oriented architectures (SOA); Technology for visualizing semantic data; Introduce of some systems (SemreX, Bibster, Citebase, Google Scholar, Citeseer etc.); Others. Important Deadlines Researchers and practitioners are kindly invited to send an email to [email protected], containing a preliminary title and a 3-6 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. We strongly encourage other topics that have not been listed in our suggested list, particularly if the topic is related to the research area in which you have expertise. Upon acceptance of your proposal, you should prepare your chapter of 8,000-10,000 words and 7-10 related terms and their appropriate definitions. Guidelines for preparing your paper and terms and definitions will be sent to you upon acceptance of your proposal. All chapter proposals will be peer reviewed. And all submitted full chapters will be reviewed by at least three reviewers on a double-blind review basis. Important deadlines are: May 1, 2009: Deadline for full chapters (8000-10000 words) June 15, 2009: Review result sent to authors August 1, 2009: Revised chapters due from authors September 1, 2009: Notify authors of final acceptance/rejection October 15, 2009: Receive final accepted chapters and disks from authors. Publication This book will be published by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
