Controlled Vocabularies and the Semantic Web Journal of Library Metadata – Special Issue Call for Papers
From the webpage:
Ranging from large national libraries to small and medium-sized institutions, many cultural heritage organizations, including libraries, archives, and museums, have been working with controlled vocabularies in linked data and semantic web contexts. Such work has included transforming existing vocabularies, thesauri, subject heading schemes, authority files, term and code lists into SKOS and other machine-consumable linked data formats.
This special issue of the Journal of Library Metadata welcomes articles from a wide variety of types and sizes of organizations on a wide range of topics related to controlled vocabularies, ontologies, and models for linked data and semantic web deployment, whether theoretical, experimental, or actual.
Topics include, but are not restricted to the following:
- Converting existing vocabularies into SKOS and/or other linked data formats.
- Publishing local vocabularies as linked data in online repositories such as the Open Metadata Registry.
- Development or use of special tools, platforms and interfaces that facilitate the creation and deployment of vocabularies as linked data.
- Working with Linked Data / Semantic Web W3C standards such as RDF, RDFS, SKOS, and OWL.
- Work with the BIBFRAME, Europeana, DPLA, CIDOC-CRM, or other linked data / semantic web models, frameworks, and ontologies.
- Challenges in transforming existing vocabularies and models into linked data and semantic web vocabularies and models.

Proposals must be received by March 1, 2015. Full manuscripts (4000-7000 words) are expected to be submitted by June 1, 2015. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.

Proposal Deadline: March 1, 2015.
Library of Metadata online. Unfortunately one of those journals where authors have to pay for their work to be accessible to others. The interface makes it look like you are going to have access until you attempt to view a particular article. I didn’t stumble across any that were accessible but I only tried four (4) or (5) of them.
Interesting journal if you have access to it or if you are willing to pay $40.00 per article for viewing. I worked for an academic publisher for a number of years and have an acute sense of the value-add publishers bring to the table. Volunteer authors, volunteer editors, etc.
