The TMRA conference series - an Overview
TMRA 2008 will be the fourth event in the annual series of international conferences on Topic Maps Research and Applications.
TMRA is the advanced scientific and industrial forum whose main
object is connecting the key players in the Topic Maps community.
Here you will find researchers and users in government and industry, as well as the vendors, the luminaries, and the standards
creators gathered for an exchange of ideas in a stimulating setting.
Topic Maps is a semantic technology designed for the integration
of information, and is as such closely connected with other information-centric technologies. TMRA is the melting pot where
Topic Maps meets adjacent technologies. Researchers from related disciplines are explicitly invited to present their efforts
towards the advancement of semantic technologies. Some examples, from a remarkably incomplete listing, are: markup
languages, data modelling, natural language processing, cognitive
science, philosophy, and software engineering.
Besides the keynotes, presented by leading heads of the Topic
Maps community, the conference schedule covers parallel science-
and industry-oriented tracks, poster and demonstration sessions.
The latest ideas from the community are discussed in the open-
space sessions.
TMRA features a full day of tutorials prior to the regular conference program. Tutorials@TMRA provides a plat-
form to present and attend
high quality lectures in the
field of Topic Maps. The tutorials offer an opportunity
to learn about new areas of
Topic Maps research, to get
an introduction to important
established topics, or to develop higher skill levels in
already familiar areas.
We are always looking for original, high quality papers with
substantial contributions. In 2008 the TMRA proceedings will appear in the LIV series, published by the University of Leipzig. It is assured, that the proceedings are indexed by DBLP and Google Scholar. The
conference language is English. Submission deadline for all
contributions is early summer.
