IJMSO aims at publishing research advances and discussions about metadata in a broad sense, and about their associated semantics and ontological structures, from a multi-disciplinary perspective, and with an emphasis on domain-specific ontologies and organisational, human interaction and social issues regarding metadata annotation, use and assessment. It also intends covering Semantic Web research, as a concrete metadata-intensive technological framework in which shared and standardised semantics are a critical issue.
Topics covered include
- Metadata design and semantics
- Quality of metadata
- Evaluation and applications of metadata standards
- Metadata annotation practices
- Ontological and knowledge-based approaches to metadata
- Ontologies and standard catalogues specific to business or professional domains
- Semantic Web and ontologies in library science and digital libraries
- Metadata-based information retrieval and browsing
- Organisational and social aspects of Semantic Web and related technologies
Objectives
The main objective of IJMSO is to provide an open forum in which several disciplines converge and provide their perspectives regarding the complex topic of metadata creation, use and assessment. Those disciplines include Digital Libraries, the Semantic Web, Library Science and Knowledge Management, among others.
Readership
IJMSO aims at being an open forum for researchers, practitioners, managers and policy makers in the field of metadata, informing current practices with recent innovations.
Contents
IJMSO publishes original research papers providing significant results, and also short communications about innovative ideas and news, announcements and reviews regarding the topics of the journal. Articles describing schemas or ontologies for concrete applications or domains are also welcomed, provided that a digital version of the final artefact is submitted to be made publicly available.
