CfP: 5th International Workshop on Geospatial Linked Data at ESWC2022 (SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to March 15th)
by Beyza Yaman 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Apologies for cross-posting! ------------------------------------------------- Dear all, We are happy to announce that the 5th International Workshop on Geospatial Linked Data will be co-located with the European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) in May 2022. Details are published on the website: https://i3mainz.github.io/GeoLD2022/ Abstract: ------------- Geospatial data are essential not only for many traditional GIS tasks such as navigation, logistics, and tourism, but even more for emerging technologies like autonomous vehicle navigation, smart city technologies, and further location-based services. For all these technologies, geospatial linked data (GLD) is a crucially important source of machine-readable pre-interpreted information. Recently, we can observe a transformation process of spatial data infrastructures from previously merely acting as data providers to becoming brokers of geospatial information of different kinds, origins, quality, and a need to interconnect and incorporate information of different data repositories, often even in real-time. This need for GLD integration leads to efforts to create next-generation knowledge graphs which integrate multiple spatial datasets with large numbers of general datasets containing some geospatial references (e.g., \emph{DBpedia, Wikidata}) and even volunteered geographic information (e.g., \emph{LinkedGeoData}) and sensor data. This integration, either on the public Web or within organizations has immense socio-economic and academic benefits. The upsurge in linked data-related presentations in the Eurogeographics data quality workshop series, in relevant journal publications, in activities of standardization bodies (OGC GeoSPARQL), and in Spatial Data Applications shows a deep interest in GLD in national mapping agencies and beyond. GLD enables web-based, interoperable geospatial data infrastructures that may enhance and support existing standardization efforts like Europe's INSPIRE directive. Moreover, geospatial information systems benefit from Linked Data principles in building the next generation of spatial data applications, e.g., federated smart buildings, self-piloted vehicles, delivery drones, or automated local authority services, which is of increasing interest to various stakeholders. This workshop invites papers covering the challenges and solutions for handling GLD, especially for building high-quality, adaptable, geospatial data infrastructures and next-generation spatial applications. We aim to demonstrate the latest approaches and implementations and to discuss the solutions to challenges and issues arising from research and industrial organizations. Topics of interest ----------------------- • GLD vocabularies and standards (GeoSPARQL, INSPIRE, W3C, OGC) • Extraction/transformation of GLD from native geospatial data sources • Integration (schema mapping, interlinking, fusion) techniques for Geospatial RDF Data • Enrichment, quality and evolution of Linked Data with Geospatial information • Machine Learning improving GLD processing • Distributed solutions for GLD management (storing, querying, mapping) • Algorithms and tools for large scale, scalable GLD management • Efficient Indexing and Querying of GLD • Geospatial-specific Reasoning on RDF Data • Ranking techniques on querying Geospatial RDF Data • Advanced querying capabilities on Geospatial RDF Data • Benchmarking of GLD applications • GLD in social web platforms and applications • Visualization models/interfaces for browsing/authoring/querying GLD • Real world applications/use cases/paradigms using GLD • Evaluation/comparison of tools/libraries/frameworks for GLD • Data governance models for GLD Important Dates ---------------------- Paper submission: March 15th, 2022 Notification of acceptance: April 14th, 2022 Camera-ready paper submission: April 19th, 2022 Organizing Committee: ------------------------------- Timo Homburg (i3mainz – Institute for Spatial Information & Surveying Technology, Mainz University of Applied Sciences, Germany) Dr. Beyza Yaman (ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Sherif (University of Paderborn, Germany) Assoc. Prof. Dr. Armin Haller (Australian National University, Australia) We are looking forward to your submissions! Best Regards, Timo Homburg, Beyza Yaman, Mohamed Ahmed Sherif, Armin Haller.

Call for submissions for Internet Researchers Conference, 2022
by Ambika Tandon 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Hello, The Centre for Internet and Society is happy to announce the fifth edition of the Internet Researchers’ Conference (IRC22)! The conference will be held online in April, 2022. For the call for proposals, and more details, see: https://tinyurl.com/irc22 See below for a description of the theme of this year's conference: The ‘home’ has been a key line of defense in efforts to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Public health recommendations and governmental measures over the last two years have relied on the construction, and assumption, of home as a familiar, stable and safe space. As we continue to come to terms with, and find ways to reorient the disruption of life, being at home has acquired many new meanings. What has it meant to be at home, and what is home? What is and has been the role of the internet and digital media technologies in navigating the contours of a changing ‘normal’? How have/can digital technologies help overcome, or exacerbate existing social, economic and political challenges during the pandemic? What forms of digital infrastructure—tools, platforms, devices and services—help build, sustain and alter the notion of home? The conference will focus on three sub-themes as they relate to the notion of home - violence and care, labour, and movement-building. The sub-themes are outlined here: https://cis-india.org/raw/irc22-call-for-sessions-pdf We invite contributions that speak to these provocations through one or more of the thematic areas outlined above. The deadline for submission of session proposals is February 5, 2022. Submissions can be sent in to workshops(a)cis-india.org. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Best, Ambika -- Ambika Tandon Senior Researcher The Centre for Internet and Society

CfP Frontiers / Interrogating the Design of Smart, Sustainable, and Socially Just Urban Spaces: A Look at Institutions, Places, and Values
by shenja van der graaf 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

People experience the city in different ways. These experiences shape how people view the city and the values they seek to draw from this space. Increasingly, people are experimenting with big data and digital tools within the context of community-based public goods provision as a way to realize values such as sustainability and social justice. In such a way, they claim their right to the city. These experiments can be transformative. There has been a groundswell of scholarship on local efforts to become smarter in support of urban experiments. However, our knowledge of these experiments’ design features remains scant. Design shapes interactions within all collective endeavors. When spatial, institutional, and value-based design principles are weak or missing, urban experiments may fail. This is why this Research Topic’s special focus is on the question of spatial, institutional, and value-based design in urban experiments. Smart urban development seems inevitable for the future of our cities, but who should decide what that future should be like and whose interests smart urbanism serves? Politics is inherent to urban development, and there is increasing evidence that political struggle lies at the heart of urban transformation. From LGBTQ+ activism that claims a right to public space to youth climate protests, political struggle is a call to action. These movements are the flints that spark urban experiments. However, we have scant knowledge of these experiments’ governance, the co-evolution of institutions that guide them, and ways in which they are designed to render value. Research indicates that it is challenging to translate and implement public values in smart city technologies. This Research Topic explores the dynamics between socio-technological processes - particularly, value-based design - that shape urban space and how citizens can participate meaningfully, highlighting how institutional design principles can be leveraged without incurring associated risks. This Research Topic calls for original papers, empirical as well as theoretical, that use the analytical lens of institutional and/or value-based design principles to explore and connect current popular, normative, academic, and political notions on urban commons, such as in the “smart”, “inclusive”, “resilient”, "participatory", "citizen-centric", “sustainable” and “just” cities. The overall goal of this collection of papers is to bring together contributions on the role of institutional and value-based design principles within complex urban systems from different academic disciplines and perspectives. By acknowledging these different perspectives and discussing their cross-cutting themes, we aim to contribute to understanding the complex issues in implementing these technologies posing numerous challenges and trade-offs with which developers, designers, and professionals working in urban management are increasingly faced with. *Keywords*: Institutional design, Value-based design, Participatory city-making, Urban commons, Transformative capacities, Quality of life We welcome your *abstract by Jan 31, 2022* *Relevant information* Website cfp <https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/29142/interrogating-the-design-…> You can opt for a short piece to a longer article <https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sustainable-cities#article-types>!

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for cross posting this call for papers. My colleagues Andrew Iliadis and Nick Proferes, and I invite you to submit to the HICSS 56 Digital Social Media minitrack panel on Critical and Ethical Studies of Digital and Social Media <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/digital-and-social-media/#critical-and-e…>. This minitrack focuses on two themes: a) research that critically interrogates how and when digital and social media reify existing power structures or realign power for underrepresented or marginalized groups, and b) research that addresses ethical issues associated with doing research on digital and social media. The minitrack seeks both conceptual and empirical approaches to these two themes. Conceptual papers should address foundational scholarship and theories —e.g., important interventions for thinking about information exchange in communities and societies, key ideas, paradigms, and methods. Empirical papers should draw on original studies of digital and social media that illustrate the critical or ethical dimensions of digital infrastructures, social media platforms, or data use. Potential paper topics could explore the following topics and themes: - studies of the perpetuation of gender, race, ethno-nationalist, and faith-based hostility and bullying found in a range of online environments; - studies of the values and worldviews embedded within specific hardware and software technologies; - studies that look at the political economies and labor conditions of digital content creation, digital work, and the consequences of sharing economy platforms; - studies that look at mediated representations and practices of political community; - studies that examine digital power relations between individuals, collectives, and societal institutions. - case studies that grapple with the challenges and opportunities of unequal data access among digital and social media researchers (e.g., APIs, open vs. proprietary data); - studies that explore the situated ethics of social media research in different digital contexts - studies of the environmental impact that digital and social media researchers have on the planet by using and reusing data and metadata stored in resource-intensive ways; - studies of academic collaborations with actors that are a focus of controversies (e.g., military units, immigration enforcement officials, lobbying groups); - studies that mobilize non-traditional or experimental research methods developed for the specificities of digital and social media. Submissions are due 15 June 2022. For more dates and author instructions, please see: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ . Please share this CFP with interested colleagues, as you can. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, Amelia -- *Amelia Acker*, Assistant Professor Director, Critical Data Studies Lab *The University of Texas at Austin **| *School of Information http://www.ameliaacker.com/
