Semantic Web

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.

  • Infrastructure: Storing, querying, searching, serving heterogeneous semantic data on a web scale
  • Integration: Linking, joining, integrating, aligning, and reconciling Semantic Web data and ontologies from different sources
  • Tools for extracting, annotating, visualizing, creating, and interacting with Semantic Web data and ontologies
  • Knowledge Representation: Ontologies, representation languages,reasoning in the Semantic Web
  • Applications that rely on Semantic Web data and approaches, including those in the enterprise, education, science, medicine, mobile, web search,social networks, etc.
