Co-Located with the 42nd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2023), 6-9 November 2023 - Lisbon, Portugal
In an increasingly complex and heterogeneous environment, significant effort is required to efficiently work with data and other digital objects. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles were elaborated to tackle these problems, describing a minimal set of requirements for data stewardship towards higher data reusability. The FAIR principles have been gaining significant attention in different areas of the society, crossing international borders and, knowledge and application domains. A number of initiatives such as GO-FAIR, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and the permanent Committee on Data of the International Council for Science (CODATA) are focusing on different aspects of FAIR.
In order to improve findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of different types of digital objects at scale, the FAIR principles focus on machine actionability. Therefore, a critical aspect to achieve this machine actionability is semantics. Proper semantic descriptions should be available to make "intelligible" for computational agents the elements of a FAIR data ecosystem such as data policies, data management plans, identifier mechanisms, standards, FAIRification processes, FAIRness assessment criteria and methods, data repositories and supporting tools.
The goal of the workshop on Conceptual Modeling, Ontologies and Metadata Management for FAIR Data is to discuss challenges, solutions and impact of, for one side, the use of conceptual modeling and metadata and data management to support the improvement of FAIRness in digital objects and, for the other side, the adoption of the FAIR principles to guide improvements in conceptual modeling.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style ( see style files and details ). Springer has provided a LaTeX template in Overleaf for your convenience. Full Papers must not exceed 10 pages (including figures, references, etc.). Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or exceeding the page limit will be desk rejected.
Papers have to be submitted in PDF format using the EasyChair submission page selecting the track Workshop on Conceptual Modeling, Ontologies and Metadata Management for Findable, Accessible,Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) Data (CMOMM4FAIR)
Only the accepted papers presented in the workshop by at least one author will be published. The corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
Posters must be in 1 A4 page + a short description / abstract (1 page).
