Call For Papers Ontology

Welcome to the CfP Ontology page! Our aim is to revolutionize the process of disseminating Call for Papers. Current state-of-the-art is sending around CfPs via email and apologizing for multiple postings. The CfP ontology can be used to publish CfP's in machine-readable formats, which enables software programs to collect, integrate, and query CfPs. Which means you are free to spend more time on your research!

The vocabulary specification is online.

Publishing your CFP in RDF

Just copy the snippet below and change appropriately. There is a CfP ontology icon available at http://sw.deri.org/2005/08/conf/cfpTiny.gif.

We use Friend of a Friend vocabulary to describe person-related things, such as program comitte membership, together with Geonames URIs for denoting places. See the Geonames API page for more information. To find the URL of a place, you can use http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=london&maxRows=10&type=rdf (substitute london for the place you are looking for).
