Information artifacts also have a variety of further attributes, including format, purpose, evidence, provenance, operational relevance, security markings. Data concerning such attributes (often called ‘metadata’) are vital to the effective exploitation of the reports, images, or signals documents for purposes of discovery and analysis.<br><br>Various attempts have been made to create controlled vocabularies for the consistent formulation of such metadata in order to enhance the degree to which the content formulated with their aid will be available to computational reasoning. The goal of this workshop is to advance work on resources of this sort, with a view towards coordination and convergence.<br><br>Interested participants can submit:<br>* A full paper (5-6 pages) that addresses foundational issues<br>* A one-page progress report discussing existing initiatives<br>* A one-page proposal for a tutorial session<br><br>Deadline for submissions: <span class=aqj>May 22, 2014</span><br>Deadline for notification of acceptance: <span class=aqj>June 15, 2014</span><br>Deadline for camera-ready copy: <span class=aqj>August 15, 2014</span><br><br>Organizing Committee:<br>* Mauricio B.
