The dream of the Web was to create a human communication and collaboration
platform for sharing knowledge and enabling a universal space for
information and services. We all are now much more connected, and in turn
face new resulting problems: service and information overload caused by
insufficient support for information selection, organization and
collaboration. The Semantic Web, by providing standards for formulating and
distributing metadata and ontologies, enables means for information
organization and selective access. However, the Semantic Web requires new
infrastructure on all levels - e.g., human-computer interaction, expressive
representation and query languages, reasoning engines, data representation
and integration, interoperability middleware, and distributed computing.

To foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration, the International
Semantic Web Conference brings together researchers in relevant disciplines
such as artificial intelligence, databases, distributed computing, web
engineering, information systems, and human-computer interaction.

The Fifth International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2006) follows on the
success of previous conferences and workshops in Galway, Ireland (2005),
Hiroshima, Japan (2004), Sanibel Island, USA (2003), Sardinia, Italy (2002),
and Stanford, USA (2001).

The organizing committee is soliciting contributions for the various
activities.
