*** All deadlines are AoE (anywhere on Earth) ***

In this announcement: 1. Call for Research papers 2. Call for In-use papers 3. Call for Resource papers

The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) is the premier venue for presenting fundamental research, innovative technology, and applications concerning semantics, data, and the Web. It is the most important international venue to discuss and present latest advances and applications of the semantic Web, knowledge graphs, linked data, ontologies and artificial intelligence (AI) on the Web.

Before submitting their work to one of the tracks, authors are asked to consult the calls of the other tracks featured at ISWC 2020 and to choose the track that best suits their contribution. The submission of the same work to multiple tracks is not allowed and may result in a rejection of the work across all tracks without a review.

1. Call for Research papers ******************************************* In this track of ISWC 2020, we are looking for novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of the Semantic Web. While we welcome work that relates to the W3C Semantic Web recommendations (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL, etc.), we also encourage contributions to research at the intersection of the Semantic Web and other scientific disciplines. Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant, and replicable research on the Semantic Web. All papers must include method evaluations that are rigorous, repeatable and reproducible. This will be one of the key reviewing criteria. We also strongly encourage papers that provide links to the data sets, source code and queries used to evaluate their approach, and/or live deployments. All papers will be assessed by the track program committee. Each paper will be reviewed by at least four committee members, including one senior member. After a successful first edition, the ISWC Reproducibility Initiative is running for the second time at ISWC2020. The Reproducibility Initiative is open to the accepted papers of the ISWC Research Track that have some significant experimental results that are amenable to be reproducible.

2. Call for In-use papers *******************************************

The adoption of Semantic Web technologies has accelerated in recent years, where they are now deployed in a variety of real-world settings at a variety of scales. The In-Use Track at ISWC 2020 continues the tradition of demonstrating and learning from the increasing adoption of Semantic Web technologies by providing a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying such technologies in concrete, practical use cases, beyond the research communities from which they originate, in contexts ranging from industry to government and science. The track also aims at “giving a stage’’ to solutions for real world problems using Semantic Web technologies, where these are may be hidden, showing that in many cases of SW adoption, these play a crucial but not necessarily visible role, for more efficient, interoperable and easier to maintain solutions. The In-Use Track thus seeks submissions describing applied and validated solutions such as software tools, systems or architectures that benefit from the use of Semantic Web technologies (including, but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web standards). Importantly, submitted papers should provide convincing evidence of the use of the proposed application or tool by the target user group, preferably outside the group that conducted the development and, more broadly, outside the Semantic Web research community. A main focus of the submissions should be on the benefits of Semantics Web technologies for the intended use case, as well as (if relevant) the added challenges they introduce.

3. Call for Resource papers ******************************************* Resources are of paramount importance as they foster scientific advancement. For example, the DBpedia had a major influence on the Semantic Web community by enabling the Linked (Open) Data movement. These resources include, among others, datasets, benchmarks, workflows, and software. Sharing them is key to allow other researchers to compare new results, reproduce experimental settings and explore new lines of research, in accordance with the FAIR principles for scientific data management.

The ISWC 2020 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources including, but not restricted to: datasets, ontologies/vocabularies, ontology design patterns, evaluation benchmarks or methods, software tools/services, APIs and software frameworks, workflows, crowdsourcing task designs, protocols, methodologies and metrics, that have contributed or may contribute to the generation of novel scientific work. In particular, we encourage the sharing of such resources following best and well-established practices within the Semantic Web community. As such, this track calls for contributions that provide a concise and clear description of a resource and its usage.
