Bringing academia and industry closer through software
While academia and industry are active in the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph domains, there is often a disconnect between these two worlds. In this workshop, we invite developers of both worlds to present and discuss their software.
Furthermore, by bringing people from academia and industry physically together, this workshop will provide a discussion ground for identifying open problems that are relevant to both sides.
Besides putting a spotlight on Semantic Web software, the workshop aims to pinpoint opportunities for future research and implementations.
In contrast to our contribution-driven format last year, we will follow a more discussion-oriented format this year, based on feedback from participants last year. Concretely, this means that we will not accept any traditional scientific paper submissions. Instead, we will invite developers from industry and academia to present their software within the first half of this workshop. In the second half, we will have group discussions based on the discussion topics raised within these presentations or by participants.
Topics
The core theme of this workshop concerns development efforts related to the Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs, and Linked Data. An orthogonal goal is to connect academia and industry through these collective development efforts.
Relevant topics include the following:
- implementations of the semantic web standards (including RDF-star and RDF/SPARQL 1.2)
- Web applications
- Web APIs
- browser extensions
- libraries (client-side or server-side)
- visualizations
- user interfaces
- end-user tools
- development tools
- data or ontology processors
- application development (query engines, processors, reasoners, …)
- …
Participate
The workshop is open to attend for everyone who has registered to the SEMANTiCS conference, either through physical or online participation.
In contrast to last year, do not accept any traditional scientific paper submissions, but instead, will invite speakers.
We are planning one (or multiple) collaborative publications as outcome of the discussions for interested participants, which will be published as proceedings afterwards.
