These technologies may be used in specific industries (e.g., media, financials, telecommunications, healthcare, life sciences, government, intelligence, public sector, industrial production etc.) and in different application areas (e.g., business intelligence, smart cities, digital twin, analytics, search, content management, knowledge management, recommendation systems, data integration, automotive etc.). <br class=""><b class="">The industry track aims to facilitate the exchange between Semantic Web researchers and industrial solution developers to bridge between state-of-the-art research and its application in industrial scenarios.</b> We welcome contributions about:<br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>- <b class="">Success stories</b> of adoption of semantic technologies and knowledge graphs in real-world environments, especially by emphasizing how these technologies have succeeded in creating value and key factors for the success of the adoption in a large-scale organization. <br class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>- Experiences about challenges that are encountered in a industry

Thus it aims at aligning current research efforts with existing real world requirements that justify the adoption of novel approaches in the face of otherwise unfeasible challenges. Therefore contributions to the Industry track can go beyond an analysis of technical challenges in the application of Semantic Technologies for individual use cases, but can describe the current and expected value of the application in a specific industrial domain.<br class=""><br class="">Papers offering a more detailed, technical and scientifically focused description of a real world application should be submitted to the In Use track, whereas papers focusing more on the achieved or intended value of an industry application are suited for the Industry track <br class=""><br class="">Emerging applications that are not yet deployed (proofs of concept), as well as vision papers describing future applications should be submitted to the Poster & Demo track<br class=""><br class="">**********************</div><div class="">Acknowledgement<br class="">**********************<br class=""><br class="">The text from this CfP is partially based on the call for Industry Track for ISWC 2017 by Peter Haase and Achille Fokoue and the call for Industry Track for ESWC 2018 by Andrea Conte.<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
