WWW 2014 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
SEMANTIC WEB TRACK
The 23rd International World Wide Web Conference
April 7-11, 2014 / Seoul, Korea
http://www2014.kr
The International World Wide Web Conference (WWW) is an annual international conference on the topics of the future direction of the World Wide Web. WWW aims to bring together the researchers and practitioners from various disciplines in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges in the evolution of the Web and the standardization of its associated technologies, as well as the impact of those technologies on society and culture. We invite original contributions on topics related to the Semantic Web, including (but not limited to) the ones below.
The conference will be held at Seoul, the heart of the Korean culture and education as well as politics and economics. Seoul was the capital city of Korea's last dynasty for six hundred years and it is the home of many historic sites including royal palaces and places of traditional cultures such as traditional Korean villages and traditional market places.

The Semantic Web Track:
The Web has been evolving as a globally pervasive backbone for data and information dissemination. More and more, data and websites incorporating a semantic component have become available, thus enabling increasingly intelligent applications and services. This track focuses on all aspects of semantics in the Web.
Topics (non-exclusive list)
• Infrastructure: Storing, querying, searching, serving Semantic Web data
• Linking, joining, integrating, aligning/reconciling Semantic Web data and ontologies from different sources
• Tools for annotation, visualization, interacting with Semantic Web data, building ontologies
• Knowledge Representation: Ontologies, representation languages, reasoning in the Semantic Web
• Applications that produce or consume Semantic Web data, including those in the enterprise, education, science, medicine, mobile, web search, social networks, etc.
• Extracting Semantic Web data from web pages and other sources
• Methodologies for the engineering of Semantic Web applications, including uses of Semantic Web formats and data in the development process itself.
