MOTIVATION

MTSR is an annual international interdisciplinary conference, which brings together academics, researchers and practitioners in the specialized fields of metadata, ontologies and semantics research. The conference provides an opportunity for participants to share knowledge and novel approaches in the implementation of semantic technologies across diverse types of information environments and applications. These include Open Access Repositories and Digital Libraries, Cultural Informatics, Digital Humanities, E-learning applications, Search Engine Optimization and Information Retrieval, Research Information Systems and Infrastructures, e-Science and e-Social Science applications, Industry, Agriculture, Food and Environment, Biological, Health and Medical Information Systems.

Special Tracks
------------------------
The conference welcomes the organization of special tracks focusing on particular domains or topics. Proposals for special tracks are welcome. Papers submitted to tracks undergo the same review procedures and are published in the same proceedings as those accepted for the main track. Tracks currently being organized:
* Agriculture, Food & Environment
* Cultural Collections & Applications
* Digital Libraries, Information Retrieval, Big, Linked, Social & Open Data
* European and National Projects
* Open Repositories, Research Information Systems and Data Infrastructures
* Digital Humanities and Digital Curation
* Knowledge IT Artifacts (KITA) in professional communities and aggregations

Submission procedure
------------------------
The following types of submissions are invited:

* Full papers (12 pages, CCIS format) reporting completed research
* Short papers (6 pages, CCIS format) presenting ongoing or preliminary research
* Posters (4 pages)
* Proposals for Tutorials, Workshops, Demos and Panels (1-3 pages providing a description)

Submissions should be original and not previously submitted, published and under review to other Conferences or Journals. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity following a double-blind peer review process. Submitted papers have to follow the LNCS proceedings formatting style and guidelines. Authors of accepted submissions will be asked to register to the Conference and present their work in the form of either oral presentation or poster presentation.
Interested authors can submit to EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mtsr2019)

Conference Proceedings
------------------------
Proceedings will be published by Springer in **CCIS 1057** (Communications in Computer and Information Science) book series (http://www.springer.com/series/7899). CCIS is abstracted/indexed in Scopus, SCImago, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, DBLP, Google Scholar. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.

Other Publication Opportunities
------------------------
Selected papers might be considered for a revised and extended version to be published in a range of international journals, including the International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (Inderscience) (http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ind/ijmso) and Data Technologies and Applications (previously published as Program (Emerald) -http://www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/prog).

Awards
------------------------
There are two types of awards: the Best Paper award and the Best Studen Paper award, both sponsored by euroCRIS (http://www.eurocris.org/).
* Best Paper award: This award will be presented to the authors of the best full research paper submitted and presented to the conference.
* Best Student Paper award: MTSR sponsors a paper competition to recognize excellence in a conference paper contribution whose primary author is a student (normally at a PhD or MRes level). The student is required to present the paper at the MTSR 2019 conference. Submissions are evaluated on their originality, scientific merits, structure, and clarity of composition.

The author of an awarded paper, and co-authors if any, will be entitled to:
* Receive a signed and stamped official award certificate by the conference organizers.
* Promote their achievement on MTSR conference webpage, and MTSR Social Media.
* Get invited to submit an extended and revised version of the awarded paper for publication in the International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (Inderscience) (http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijmso);
* Each award comes with the price of a free access/registration to next year’s MTSR. Including all conference materials, together with the printed/digital conference proceedings.
* This voucher, in case of many co-authors, is valid only for one author of the awarded paper, and only for the MTSR conference that follows the year after receiving the award.


We look forward to see you in Rome, Italy!
