Despite many efforts for making data about scholarly publications available on the Web of Data, lots of information about academic conferences is still contained in (at best) free-text format. When available in a structured format, these data would provide an essential input for the decisions researchers, libraries, publishers, funding and evaluation bodies take every day. In this paper we present a vision for having such data available as Linked Open Data (LOD), and we argue that this is only possible – and for the mutual benefit – in cooperation between researchers and publishers. We also present a pilot project aimed at publishing data about 8,500 computer science conferences as LOD.
