Call for Research papers<br>2. Call for In-Use papers<br>3. Call for Resource papers</div><div>4. Call for Doctoral Consortium papers<br></div><div><br></div><div>1. Call for Research papers<br>*******************************************<br>In
this track of ISWC 2021, 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.<br><br>Topics of interest and further details: <a href="https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/research-track" target="_blank">https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/research-track</a><br><br>Track Chairs:<br>- Eva Blomqvist (University of Linköping, Sweden)<br>- Andreas Hotho (University of Würzburg, Germany)<br><br>Contact: <a href="mailto:iswc2021-program@easychair.org" target="_blank">iswc2021-program@easychair.org</a><br><br>2. Call for In-Use papers<br>*******************************************<br>The
In-Use track at ISWC 2021 continues the tradition of demonstrating and
sharing 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 society. 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).<br><br>Topics of interest and further details: <a href="https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/in-use-call" target="_blank">https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/in-use-call</a><br><br>Track Chairs:<br>- Ying Ding (University of Texas at Austin, USA)<br>- Payam Barnaghi (Imperial College London, UK)<br><br>Contact: <a href="mailto:iswc2021-in-use@easychair.org" target="_blank">iswc2021-in-use@easychair.org</a><br><br>3. Call for Resource papers<br>*******************************************<br>The
ISWC 2021 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources
which support, enable or utilise semantic web research. Resources
include, 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. <br><br>Topics of interest and further details: <a href="https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/resources-track" target="_blank">https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/resources-track</a><br><br>Track Chairs:<br>- Stefan Dietze (GESIS, Cologne & Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany)_<br>- Achille Fokoue (IBM Research, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA)<br></div><div><br>***** Important Dates (common to all paper tracks above) *****<br>- Abstracts Due: 12 April 2021<br>- Full Papers Due: 19 April 2021<br>- Author Rebuttals: 2–6 June 2021<br>- Notifications: 23 June 2021<br></div><div><br></div><div>4. Call for Doctoral Consortium papers</div><div>*******************************************</div><div><div dir="ltr">The ISWC 2021 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will provide PhD students with an opportunity to:<br><br> ● present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative and yet critical environment;<br> ● receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the Semantic Web research community, and peers;<br> ● explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree, and finally<br> ● network and build collaborations with other members of the community.<br><br>The
event is intended for students who are midway through their PhD,
therefore at a stage where they have articulated a reasonably detailed
research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results. The
aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and suggest
possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve results with
prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary in format
and conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates in their
second, or early in their third year and who will have already partially
investigated some specific problems. Students will be required to
submit a paper to the doctoral consortium, structured like a research
proposal. All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will
undergo a rigorous review process by the International Programme
Committee, who will provide detailed and constructive feedback and
select those submissions to be presented at the Doctoral Consortium. If
accepted, students will have to register and attend the event, which
will include a range of interactive activities. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>Details: <a href="https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/doctoral-consortium-call" target="_blank">https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/doctoral-consortium-call</a></div><br>DC Chairs:<br>- Miriam Fernandez (Open University, UK)<br>- Valentina Tamma (University of Liverpool, UK)</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">***** Important Dates (DC track) *****<br>- Papers due: 3 May, 2021<br>- Notification to proposers: 31 May 2021<br>- DC Day: 25 October, 2021</div></div><div><br>*** All deadlines are AoE (Anywhere on Earth) ***<br></div><div><br></div><div>Submission link for all papers: <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2021" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2021</a></div><div><br></div><div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Follow ISWC on social media:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">- Twitter: @iswc_conf #iswc_conf (</span><a href="https://twitter.com/iswc_conf" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">https://twitter.com/iswc_conf</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">)</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">- LinkedIn: </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">- Facebook: </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">The ISWC 2021 Organising Team </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/organizing-committee" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/organizing-committee</span></a></p></div></div></div>
