The Web has been evolving as a globally pervasive backbone for data and information dissemination. More and more, data and websites incorporating a semantic component have become available, thus enabling increasingly intelligent applications and services. This track focuses on all aspects of semantics in the web.
We invite original contributions on topics related to the Semantic Web, including (but not limited to) the ones below.
Topics
- Infrastructure: Storing, querying, searching, serving Semantic Web data
- Linking, joining, integrating, aligning/reconciling Semantic Web data and ontologies from different sources
- Tools for annotation, visualization, interacting with Semantic Web data, building ontologies
- Knowledge Representation: Ontologies, representation languages, reasoning in the Semantic Web
- Applications that produce or consume Semantic Web data, including those in the enterprise, education, science, medicine, mobile, web search, social networks, etc.
- Extracting Semantic Web data from web pages and other sources
- Methodologies for the engineering of Semantic Web applications, including uses of Semantic Web formats and data in the development process itself.
