SWIB25 – 17th Semantic Web in Libraries Conference 17 – 19 November 2025, online Call for Proposals SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 23 May 2025 The SWIB (Semantic Web in Libraries) conference is an annual event, this year taking place for the 17th time. SWIB25 will happen online to ensure inclusion of as many participants as possible while minimizing the ecological footprint of the conference. SWIB focuses on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related organizations. It is well established as an event where IT staff, developers, librarians, and researchers from all over the world meet and mingle and learn from each other. The topics of talks and workshops at SWIB revolve around opening data, linking data and creating tools and software for LOD production scenarios. These areas of focus are supplemented by presentations of research projects in applied sciences, industry applications, and LOD activities in other areas. SWIB25 is organized by ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz). The conference language is English. We are accepting proposals for two formats: – presentations (20 minutes plus 5 q&a) – practical workshops or tutorials (maximum 4h, including breaks), introductory tutorials are very welcome The presentations will be held on each conference day in the time slot from 14:00 to 17:00 UTC. Note that we will support three different time slots for workshops to accommodate workshop facilitators and participants from different time zones (East Asia/Australia, Europe/Africa, Americas). We appreciate proposals on the following or related topics: Projects & Applications * integration of LOD into productive library applications * re-use of LOD (from libraries, Wikidata and other sources) * presenting & visualizing LOD * graphical user interfaces for interaction with LOD (e.g. editing or annotation) * (other) applications in the context of open science Technology & Tools (focus on Open Source software) * data transformation/integration/cleansing/enhancement/mapping/interlinking/validation * data flow management, read/write linked data, providing updates & syncing data sources * machine learning applications in/for libraries * integration of symbolic and subsymbolic approaches Standards & Best Practices * implementation of FAIR data principles, interoperability * open web standards relevant for libraries, data models, usable APIs * application profiles & provenance information * working with controlled vocabularies & knowledge organization systems * preservation, maintenance & sustainability Culture * decentralization, federated structures * consolidating open source projects * collaboration, crowdsourcing, community building and empowerment * diversity sensitivity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility * the role of open information infrastructures in sustaining democracy We are looking forward to receiving your proposals for presentations or workshops by 23 May 2025.
