First Call for In-Use Track    (01)

==================================================================    (02)

The 13th International Semantic Web Conference    (03)

http://iswc2014.semanticweb.org/    (04)

19-23 October 2014, Riva del Gards, Trento, Italy    (05)

==================================================================    (06)

Semantic technologies and Linked Data are increasingly a major component of
deployed applications. The In-Use track at ISWC 2014 provides a forum for
the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic
technologies and data in real-life applications and contexts ranging from
industry to government and science. Importantly, we encourage submissions
that combine any form of semantic technologies and the Web, for example,
submissions that demonstrate how Web data can be used with techniques such
as statistical data mining, machine learning, or NLP in applications.    (07)

Papers for the ISWC In-Use track should provide evidence that there is
actual use (or at least plans for deployment) outside the research group
that conducted the research.
Submissions to this track may employ scientific methods (qualitative and/or
quantitative) to understand in greater detail the deployment of semantic
technologies and data (online or offline) or present novel practical
approaches that are relevant to the deployment of semantics, but may not
otherwise gain an outlet in the ISWC series. Papers will be evaluated on how
the use of semantic technologies impacts and provides utility to a wide
range of users. Papers presenting Semantic Web tools should clearly describe
the addressed problem and demonstrate the use of the tool in practice, for
instance, by providing quantitative data on the use in a specific domain.
Besides this, tool papers should also include a convincing evaluation of the
system and/or methods involved.    (08)

Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also
published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present
the paper there.    (09)


TOPICS OF INTEREST
-------------------    (010)

We invite the submission of original papers organized around some of the
following aspects:    (011)

  * Description and analysis of concrete problems and user requirements for
applying semantic technologies in a specific domain
  * Description of implementation and use of semantic applications in a
specific domain
  * Analysis and evaluation of usability and uptake of Semantic Web tools
and technologies
  * Assessment of the pros and cons of using semantic technologies to solve
a particular and practical problem
  * Pragmatics of using or deploying semantic technologies in real-world
scenarios
  * 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
  * Description of Semantic Web ontologies and/or datasets that are being
widely used in practice
  * Mobile apps based on semantic technologies    (012)

The Semantic Web In-use papers will be evaluated on their relevance to the
track, rigor in the methodology and analysis used to reach conclusions,
originality, readability, and usefulness to developers, researchers, and
practitioners.    (013)

First Call for Replication, Benchmark and Data    (01)

==================================================================    (02)

The 13th International Semantic Web Conference    (03)

http://iswc2014.semanticweb.org/    (04)

19-23 October 2014, Riva del Gards, Trento, Italy    (05)

==================================================================    (06)

Science, to a large degree is like building a house of ideas on the
foundations laid by others. In some scientific disciplines the laying of
foundations is explicitly seen as part of the innovative activity of the
discipline. In the Semantic Web and Linked Data field there has been a bias
towards presenting novel ideas in research papers. The goal of the
Replication, Benchmark and Data Track is to cater the reviewing and paper
evaluation process towards the specific needs of papers that make useful
contributions without proving a hypothesis or making a novel contribution.
Specifically, this track seeks work in the following areas:    (07)

Replication focuses on replicating a prior published approach in order to
shed light on some important, possibly overlooked aspect. Replicating a
result, or failing to, is a useful contribution to our collective knowledge,
and good replication papers will challenge some previously accepted trusim,
expose some limitation in the assumptions or confounds chosen, or confirm
(or question) the internal validity of the results. For example:
  * Jens Dittrich, Lukas Blunschi, and Marcos Antonio Vaz Salles. 2008.
Dwarfs in the rearview mirror: how big are they really?. VLDB Endow. 1, 2
(August 2008). [http://www.diku.dk/~vmarcos/pubs/DBS08.pdf]
Review Criteria: Is the replicated work significant, has it been done
before, was there an important/relevant lesson to be learned from the
replication, were hidden assumptions of the original experiment exposed?    (08)

Benchmarks make available to the community a new class of resources, metrics
or software that can be used to measure the performance of systems in some
dimension. Any data and software should be made public through a reasonable
access mechanism, to enable the community to use it. Ideally a benchmark
paper will also provide some baseline of performance, or may further serve
the community by surveying the performance of existing systems according to
the benchmark. The key here would be that the systems evaluated are not
being presented in the paper as the contribution. For example:
  * Guo, Yuanbo, Heflin, Jeff and Pan, Zhengxiang . Benchmarking DAML+OIL
Repositories. ISWC 2003. [http://swat.cse.lehigh.edu/pubs/guo03a.pdf]
Review Criteria: Does the benchmark measure something significant (is it
relevant and sufficiently general), are the proposed performance metrics
sufficiently broad and relevant, is there already a similar benchmark (if
yes, how does it differ), can others use the data and software, how can it
advance the state of the art, if a survey was done, was the coverage of
systems reasonable, or were any obvious choices missing?    (09)

Data introduces an important data set to the community. This highly
important task is often difficult to publish, as its main contribution lies
in providing others the means for accomplishing their goals. Even though
dbpedia and wordnet are some of the most valuable and widely used resources
in our community, and have made an invaluable contribution to our science,
they were very difficult to publish as papers. For example:
  * S Auer, C Bizer, G Kobilarov, J Lehmann, R Cyganiak, Z Ives. Dbpedia: A
nucleus for a web of open data. ISWC 2007.
[http://158.130.69.163/~zives/research/dbpedia.pdf]
Review Criteria: Is there a similar data source? Is the source of interest
to the semantic web community (and society in general)? Is the source
semantic, linked, etc.? Does it use URIs. Is it available to the community?
Was the data used for something scientific, practical, etc.? Is the data
likely to be repurposed for other uses?    (010)

We encourage the authors to carefully read the calls for the other tracks,
the Research track, the  In Use track and the Industry track and consider
submitting to the most
appropriate track. Multiple submissions of the same paper to different
tracks are not acceptable.    (011)


TOPICS OF INTEREST

First Call for Research Track    (01)

==================================================================    (02)

The 13th International Semantic Web Conference    (03)

http://iswc2014.semanticweb.org/    (04)

19-23 October 2014, Riva del Gards, Trento, Italy    (05)

==================================================================    (06)

ISWC is the premier venue for presenting innovative systems and research
results related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data. We solicit the
submission of original research papers for ISWC 2014's research track,
dealing with analytical, theoretical, empirical, and practical aspects of
all areas of the Semantic Web. Submissions to the research track should
describe original, significant research on the Semantic Web or on Semantic
Web technologies, and are expected to provide some principled means of
evaluation.    (07)

To maintain the high level of quality and impact of the ISWC series, all
papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members and one
senior program committee member. To assess papers, reviewers will judge
their originality and significance for further advances in the Semantic Web,
as well as the technical soundness of the proposed approaches and the
overall readability of the submitted papers. All papers should include
evaluations of the approaches described in the paper. We strongly encourage
evaluations that are repeatable: preference will be given to papers that
provide links to the data sets and queries used to evaluate their approach,
as well as systems papers providing links to their source code or to some
live deployment.    (08)

We encourage the authors to read carefully the calls for the other tracks,
the Replication, Benchmark and Data track, the In Use track and the Industry
track and consider submitting to the most appropriate track. Multiple
submissions of the same paper to different tracks are not acceptable.    (09)
