Semantic Web Journal Special Issue on Linked Dataset Descriptions: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/semantic-web-journal-call-2nd-special-issue-linked-dataset-descriptions Linked Data is a key enabler for the Semantic Web vision and one of the steps towards a truly "Semantic Web". The Semantic Web journal calls for papers (5-8 pages) containing a concise description of a Linked Dataset. The paper shall describe in concise and clear terms key characteristics of the dataset as a guide to its usage for various (possibly unforeseen) purposes. In particular, such a paper shall typically give information, amongst others, on the following aspects of the dataset (if applicable). * Name, URL, versioning, licensing, availability * Topic coverage, source for the data * Purpose of the Linked Dataset, e.g. demonstrated by relevant queries or inferences over it * Applications using the dataset and other metrics of use * Creation, maintenance and update mechanisms as well as policies to ensure sustainability and stability * Quality, quantity and purpose of links to other datasets * Domain modeling and use of established vocabularies * Examples and critical discussion of typical knowledge modelling patterns used * Known shortcomings of the dataset Papers will be evaluated along the following dimensions: quality of the dataset, usefulness (or potential usefulness) of the dataset, as well as clarity and completeness of the descriptions. Papers should usually be written by people involved in the generation or maintenance of the dataset, or with the consent of these people. Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors. Deadlines: Paper submission: *March 7th, 2013* Notification: usually within 8 weeks of submission Special Issue Editors: Jens Lehmann Oscar Corcho Richard Cyganiak Guest Editors: Victor de Boer, VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands Aba-Sah Dadzie, University of Sheffield, UK Fabien Gandon, INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, France Hugh Glaser, University of Southampton, UK Christophe Guéret, VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands Willem Robert van Hage, VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands Aidan Hogan, DERI Galway, Ireland Prateek Jain, Wright State University, Dayton, U.S.A.

My colleagues and I submitted a "paper", Linked SDMX Data: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/content/linked-sdmx-dataWell, since this is an open process, and we love open, reviews are most welcome either at SWJ, or drop feedback at the canonical URI of the effort:
http://csarven.ca/linked-sdmx-dataI realize that mentioning this is out of the ordinary on this list, but, wouldn't it be great if the community is fully transparent in their efforts? Or is doing "science" is replaced by "step aside dude, my h-index is this big!" these days?
Bon week-end :) -Sarven
