Call for Papers - Research Track ******************************************* The research track of ESWC 2020 is looking for novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of the Semantic Web. We also encourage contributions to research at the intersection of Semantic Web and other scientific disciplines. Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant research on the Semantic Web, and are expected to provide some principled means of evaluation. Specifically, all papers should include evaluations of the approaches described in the paper. We strongly encourage evaluations that are repeatable. We also strongly encourage papers that provide links to: the data sets, source code, queries and other resources. Based on previous years submissions, this year we are setting up ten research tracks that reflect some of the main research areas of the Semantic Web and its intersection with other scientific disciplines: * Ontologies and Reasoning https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-ontologies-and-reasoning-… * Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-natural-language-processi… * Semantic Data Management and Data Infrastructures https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-semantic-data-management-… * Social and Human Aspects of the Semantic Web https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-social-and-human-aspects-… * Machine Learning https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-machine-learning-track/ * Distribution and Decentralization https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-distribution-and-decentra… * Science of Science https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-science-of-science-track/ * Security, Privacy, Licensing & Trust https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-security-privacy-licensin… * Knowledge Graphs https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-eswc-2020-knowledge-graph… * Integration, Services and APIs https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-integration-services-apis… Further info: https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-research-track/ == Important Dates == Abstract submission (mandatory): December 4, 2019 Paper submission: December 11, 2019 Opening of rebuttal period: January 20, 2020 Closing of rebuttal period: January 24, 2020 Notification to authors: February 19, 2020 Camera ready papers due: March 18, 2020 == Program Chairs == Sabrina Kirrane, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria sabrina.kirrane(a)wu.ac.at Axel Ngonga, Paderborn University, Germany axel.ngonga(a)upb.de 2. Call for Papers - Resources Track ******************************************* Many of the research efforts in the areas of the Semantic Web,Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs focus on publishing scientific papers that prove a hypothesis. However, scientific advancement is often reliant on good quality resources that provide the necessary scaffolding to support the scientific publications. Sharing these resources and the best practices that have lead to their development with the research community is crucial, to consolidate research material, ensure reproducibility of results and in general gain new scientific insights. The ESWC 2020 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources including, but not limited to: datasets, ontologies, vocabularies, annotated corpora, workflows, knowledge graphs, evaluation benchmarks or methods, replication studies, services, APIs and software frameworks that have contributed 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, including the provision of an open license and a permalink identifying the resource. This track calls for contributions that provide a concise and clear description of a resource and its usage. A typical Resource track paper has its focus set on reporting on one of the following categories: * Ontologies developed for an application, with a focus on describing the modelling process underlying their creation; * Datasets produced to support specific evaluation tasks or by a novel algorithm; * Knowledge graphs or remarkable interest that comprehensively cover new vertical domains; * Machine learning models that would impact the knowledge engineering community. Examples include comprehensive word embeddings trained on large corpora, or embeddings of commonly known knowledge graphs, such as DBpedia or Wikidata * Descriptions of a reusable research prototype / service supporting a given research hypothesis; * Descriptions of a dataset produced by a novel algorithm; * Descriptions of community shared software frameworks that can be extended or adapted to support scientific study and experimentation; * Benchmarking, focusing on datasets and algorithms for comprehensible and systematic evaluation of existing and future systems; * Development of new evaluation methodologies, and their demonstration in an experimental study.

Call for Papers - In-Use Track ******************************************* Semantic technologies are reaching maturity on and off the web. The In-Use track at ESWC 2020 provides a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technologies in concrete, practical applications, in contexts ranging from industry to government and science. We are especially interested in applications that use the emerging knowledge graphs or semantic annotations on the web together with data mining, machine learning, or natural language processing techniques to the benefit of concrete, real-life scenarios. We are also looking for descriptions of applied and validated industry solutions as software tools, systems or architecture that benefit from the adoption of semantic technologies. Importantly, papers presenting applications in use of semantic technologies should provide evidence that there is use of the proposed application or tool by the target user group, preferably outside the group that conducted the development. A main focus of the submission should be on the way semantics and semantic technologies are impacting this development, through benefiting the intended use case, as well as, if relevant, through the added challenges they introduce. Topics of Interest: We invite the submission of original papers organized around some of the following aspects: * Description and analysis of concrete problems and user requirements for applying semantic technologies in a specific domain * Descriptions of how Semantic Web resources (ontologies, datasets, software, standards, etc) are being used in practice * Analysis and evaluation of usability and uptake of Semantic Web tools and technologies * Scalability analysis and large scale deployment in real world scenarios * Assessment of the pros and cons of using semantic technologies to solve a particular and practical problem * Comparison of semantic technologies with alternative approaches that use conventional or competing technologies * Learned lessons and best practices from deploying and using an application or service based on Semantic Web technologies * Assessment of costs and benefits of implementing, deploying, using, and managing Semantic Web technologies * Analysis of risks and opportunities of using Semantic Web technologies in organizations with respect to their businesses and customers * Descriptions of alternative semantic technologies being deployed in practice * Mobile apps based on semantic technologies that have substantial user base * Applications in domain-specific areas such as Health & Life Sciences, Digital Libraries & Cultural Heritage, Media & Entertainment, Smart Cities, and Open Government Further info: https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/call-for-papers-in-use-track/ == Important Dates == Abstract submission (mandatory): December 4, 2019 Paper submission: December 11, 2019 Opening of rebuttal period: January 20, 2020 Closing of rebuttal period: January 24, 2020 Notification to authors: February 19, 2020 Camera ready papers due: March 18, 2020 == Track Chairs == Anna Lisa Gentile, IBM, USA annalisa.gentile(a)ibm.com Peter Haase, Metaphacts, Germany phaase(a)gmail.com Looking forward to your submissions!

We welcome submissions of tutorial proposals on all major topics related to semantic technologies. We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following types: * Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to new semantic technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. Knowledge Graphs, semantic data integration, reasoning, question answering, ontology-based data access, ontology design principles, provenance and trust, etc.). * Tutorials describing the application of semantic technologies in specific domains (e.g., life sciences, e-government, e-commerce, Industry 4.0, cultural heritage, education, mobile, music). * Tutorials presenting techniques from other fields that are of relevance for Semantic Web research, including social sciences, digital humanities, biomedical research, HCI, Information Retrieval, databases, NLP, Internet of Things, data visualization, etc. While tutorials may focus on theoretical topics, we encourage organizers to incorporate hands-on sessions. The tutorial should reach a good balance between the topic coverage and its relevance to the community. Tutorials can be half-day or full-day. We suggest having up to two presenters for half-day and up to four presenters for full-day tutorials, preferably from different institutions, contributing different perspectives to the tutorial topic.
