Paper Submission – Empowering the Authors – Part III of VI
As we continue talking about semantic integration and more specifically, use cases; here is a different kind of use case. Somebody in this case is uploading an article (and you’ll see this again in other venues) in this case a conference paper to the American Society for Information Science and Technology site. A prospective author uploads their paper, they fill in the blanks as appropriate, and up pops a list of appropriate taxonomy terms. The author, the submitting person, can then check off the list of terms they think are appropriate to their paper. Then the paper is saved, already indexed. They will have already indexed their paper, which saves people a lot of time. In any kind of venue, folks can do their own indexing.
