As a conference aiming to bring together science and industry, I-SEMANTICS encourages scientific research and application-oriented contributions in the field of Semantic Technologies, Semantic Web and Linked Data. The topics of interest for Research and Application Papers include (but are not limited to):

The Web of Data

• (Large scale) triplification of existing (structured) data
• Vocabularies, taxonomies and schemas for the Web of Data
• Querying, searching and browsing over the Web of Data
• Data integration and interlinking for the Web of Data
• User interaction and innovative visualizations for the Web of Data
• Languages, tools and methodologies for representing, managing and reasoning on the Web of Data
• (Mashup) applications utilizing (large scale) Linked Data resources
• Recommender systems making use of the Web of Data
• Integrating microposts into the Web of Data
• Linked Enterprise Data and (Open) Linked Government Data
• Connecting the Web of Data with real world sensor data
• Location-based services and mobile semantic applications
