Submission Guidelines

Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style. See http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. The page limit for submitted papers (as well as for final, camera-ready papers) is 10. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or exceeding the page limit will not be reviewed and automatically rejected.

Submission is done through EasyChair. Please select the Workshop track when submitting. EasyChair Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=er2019 – please pay attention to select the correct track.

Workshop Organizers

Luiz Olavo Bonino is the International Technology Coordinator of the GO FAIR International Support and Coordination Office and Associate Professor of the BioSemantics group at the Leiden University Medical Centre in Leiden, the Netherlands. His background is in ontology-driven conceptual modelling, semantic interoperability, service-oriented computing, requirements engineering and context-aware computing. In the last 5 years Luiz has work on a number of technologies and tools to support making, publishing, indexing, searching and annotating FAIR (meta)data.

Maria Luiza M. Campos is a professor at the Computer Science Department at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), with more than 30 years of experience in data and information management, both in the academy and in a government organization. Her main research interests are conceptual modeling and information integration, specially focusing on ontologies and metadata based strategies applied to the semantic web and the e-government and e-Science domains. She has previously worked as a data administrator at the Brazilian Statistical Agency (IBGE) and has, for many years, been engaged in open data initiatives in Brazil. She has participated in program or organization committees of national and international conferences and workshops, among them WWW, FOIS, CSCWD, BIDU/VLDB, SBBD (Brazilian Symposium on Databases), ONTOBRAS (Brazilian Ontology Research Seminar).

Robert Pergl currently works at the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT), Czech Technical University in Prague. He is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Software Engineering, head of Centre for Conceptual Modelling and Implementation group, and ELIXIR Czech Heads of Nodes member. Robert’s research focuses in conceptual modelling, enterprise engineering, software engineering and programming languages. He is highly interested and active in the field of software tools. In particular, Robert’s current research emphasizes the role of ontology-driven conceptual modelling for software engineering, leveraging the adoption of foundational ontologies through ontological languages (e.g. OntoUML).

Luana Sales is PhD in Information Science by the PostGraduate Program of IBICT / UFRJ (2011-2014), Master in Information Science by PostGraduate Program of UFF / IBICT (2004-2006) and undergraduation in Librarianship and Documentation by Fluminense Federal University (2003). She worked at the Nuclear Engineering Institute, participating in the creation of the Nuclear Knowledge Management research line (2006-2017). She also worked as a lecturer in the undergraduate degree in Librarianship at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro – UNIRIO and Universidade Federal Fluminense, teaching subjects related to the Organization and Representation of Knowledge and Information Retrieval. Currently, she is researcher at at the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT), acting as a professor of the Post-Graduate Program in Information Science of the IBICT-UFRJ agreement and as a Coordinator of the Implementation Network of GOFAIR Brazil.
