Dear all,
This is a reminder of the Call for Papers for the Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies. Submissions are now open!
Best wishes, the Organization Committee
*Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies* Université de Lausanne, 3-4 June 2019 http://wp.unil.ch/graphsde/ *Call for Papers* Digital texts processed by machines are linear strings of characters, but in most research activities in the Humanities (philology, linguistics, corpus-based analysis, cultural heritage, etc.) we store them in *databases* and we add *markup* to the text, that is a kind of intelligence made computable thanks to the use of widespread data-models, formats and standards. In the last decades, the popularity of *graph* data-models has increased, in accordance with the *semantic web* proposition and the development of standards such as RDF and OWL. Graph databases, in the form of triple stores (such as Graph-DB) or of labeled-property-graphs (Neo4j), are regarded as powerful and flexible solutions by research and cultural institutions, and private companies alike. The workshop is held to explore possible interactions between *digital texts*, the *graph* data-model, *scholarly editions* and the *semantic web*. The combinations of these objects/concepts, pursued in the last decades, remains experimental to date, and it represents one of the possible development for the field of *digital scholarly editing*. Contributions on one or more of the following topics are particularly welcome:
- the conceptualization of *text as graph*; - the use of *graph-databases* for digital editions; - the* semantic web resources* for building digital scholarly editions; - the *interoperability* among digital texts through Linked Data Vocabularies; - the *integration* of graph flavoured data into xml documents.
We welcome contributions from those involved in the development of *tailor-made solutions* for small scale projects as well as of large-scale *infrastructure*, focused on the *theory* and/or on the *practice* of this happy or unhappy combination. The workshop includes *presentations* and a *working group* session. Please note that the word 'workshop' means here a place for sharing ongoing research and not a hands-on training. *Invited speakers*
- Ronald Haentjens Dekker (Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences – Humanities Cluster) - Samuel Müller (University of Basel - National Infrustructure for Editions) - Michele Pasin (Springer Nature) - Tobias Schweizer, Sepideh Alassi (University of Basel – Digital Humanities Lab) - Georg Vogeler (University of Graz)
*Scientific committee*
- Gioele Barabucci (University of Cologne) - Fabio Ciotti (University of Rome Tor Vergata) - Claire Clivaz (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) - DASCH (University of Lausanne) - Simon Gabay (University of Neuchâtel) - Frederike Neuber (Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanties) - Elena Pierazzo (University of Grenoble-Alpes) - Michael Piotrowski (University of Lausanne) - Matteo Romanello (EPFL) - Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne) - Francesca Tomasi (University of Bologna) - Aris Xanthos (University of Lausanne)
*Important dates* *9 December 2018*. Deadline for the submission of abstracts *14 January 2018*. Notification of acceptance *15 April 2019*. Camera-ready version of the papers *3-4 June 2019*. Workshop

*Important dates* *9 December 2018*. Deadline for the submission of abstracts *14 January 2018*. Notification of acceptance *15 April 2019*. Camera-ready version of the papers *3-4 June 2019*. Workshop
*Where* Université de Lausanne – 1015 Lausanne – Switzerland *Language* The language of the workshop will be English. *Abstract submission* We invite researchers to submit abstracts for a 30 mins contribution (20 mins + 10 mins Q&A) by December 9, 2018. Abstracts will be reviewed double-blind by the members of the scientific committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Instructions for formatting and submitting abstracts will be published in September 2018. *Camera-ready paper submission* Notifications of acceptance will be sent by January 14, 2019. The authors of accepted abstracts should send a camera-ready version of their paper by April 15, 2019. The papers will be made available on the workshop platform. Before the workshop, the papers will be paired and a discussant will be assigned to each participant. The discussant must prepare two questions, that the corresponding author will receive twenty days before the workshop and should address in her/his presentation. Instructions for formatting and submitting camera-ready papers will follow. *Proceedings publication* The authors of accepted contributions will be invited to submit a revised paper after the conference, to be published in an open-access, electronic conference volume endowed with persistent identifiers. *Organization committee*
