1. Call for Workshops & Tutorials
*******************************************
Besides the main technical program, ISWC will host several workshops on
topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the
workshops is to provide a setting for focused, intensive scientific
exchange among researchers and practitioners interested in a specific
topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of
emerging ideas as well as for the discussion of novel aspects of
established research topics.

We invite you to submit a proposal for workshops on a research topic of
interest to ISWC attendees.

In addition to the regular research and workshop program, ISWC 2021 will
feature a tutorial program addressing the diverse interests of its
audience: Semantic Web practitioners that wish to learn about new
technologies, novices to the Semantic Web interested in introductory
tutorials to key Semantic Web / Linked Data topics, government and industry
representatives focusing on the applicability of Semantic Web / Linked Data
technologies in practical settings.

We hereby invite you to submit a tutorial proposal on a research topic
relevant to the ISWC 2021 audience.

Important Dates:
- Proposals due: Friday, 4th March, 2022
- Notification to proposers: 22 March, 2022
- Workshop & Tutorial Day(s): 24-25 October, 2022

- Laura Hollink (Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, Netherlands)
- Mayank Kejriwal (University of Southern California, US)



2. Call for Semantic Web Challenge
*******************************************
A great way to advance the state of the art in a given domain is to create
competition. We invite you to propose an ISWC 2022 Challenge, in which you
define an open competition on a problem of your choice within the Semantic
Web domain.

Call for Semantic Web Challenge Proposals:
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/semantic-web-challenge-proposals/
Deadline: Friday, 24th March, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Semantic Web Challenge Chairs:

- Catia Pesquita,  LASIGE, Faculdade de Ciências, University of Lisbon
   clpesquita@fc.ul.pt

- Daniele Dell’Aglio, Aalborg University, Denmark
   dade@cs.aau.dk


3. Call for Research papers
*******************************************
The* research track* of ISWC 2022 solicits novel and significant research
contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of
the Semantic Web. We welcome work that relates to the W3C Semantic Web
recommendations (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL, SHACL, etc.) that may also lie at
the intersection of the Semantic Web and other scientific disciplines.
Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant,
and replicable research on the Semantic Web.

Topics of interest and further details:
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/research-track/
Deadline: Friday, 28th April, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:
- Aidan Hogan, Department of Computer Science, Universidad de Chile

- Uli Sattler, Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester
Uli.Sattler@manchester.ac.uk


4. Call for In-Use papers
*******************************************
The track aims to give a stage to solutions for real-world problems in
which Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies play a crucial role.
Real-world applications of these technologies in combination with machine
learning, deep learning and other AI techniques are of particular interest.
The In-Use track thus seeks submissions describing applied and validated
solutions such as software tools, systems or architectures that benefit
from the use of Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies (including,
but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web standards).
Importantly, submitted papers should provide convincing evidence of use of
the proposed application or tool by the target user group, preferably
outside the group that conducted the development and, more broadly, outside
the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph research communities.

Topics of interest and further details:
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/in-use-track/
Deadline: Friday, 28th April, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:
- João Paulo A. Almeida, Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil
- Hideaki Takeda, National Institute of Informatics, Japan

5. Call for Resource papers
*******************************************
The ISWC 2022 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources
which support, enable or utilise semantic web research. Resources include,
but not restricted to: datasets, ontologies/vocabularies, ontology design
patterns, evaluation benchmarks or methods, software tools/services, APIs
and software frameworks, workflows, crowdsourcing task designs, protocols,
methodologies and metrics, that have contributed or may contribute 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. As such, this track calls for
contributions that provide a concise and clear description of a resource
and its usage.

Topics of interest and further details:
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/resources-track/
Deadline: Friday, 28th April, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:

6. Call for Doctoral Symposium
*******************************************
The ISWC 2022 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place virtually as part of
the 21st International Semantic Web Conference. This forum will provide PhD
students an opportunity to:

   - present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative
   and yet critical environment;
   - receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the
   Semantic Web research community, and peers;
   - explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree,
   and finally
   - network and build collaborations with other members of the community.

The event is intended for students who have articulated a reasonably
detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary
results. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and
suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve results
with prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary in format
and conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates who will have
already partially investigated some specific problems. Students will be
required to submit a paper to the doctoral consortium, structured like a
research proposal (see “Submission Details” below). All proposals submitted
to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a rigorous review process by the
International Programme Committee, who will provide detailed and
constructive feedback and select those submissions to be presented at the
Doctoral Consortium. If accepted, students will have to register and attend
the event, which will include a range of interactive activities.

Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers:
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/doctoral-consortium/
Deadline: Friday, 13th May, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)
Track Chairs:

- Olaf Hartig, Linköping University, Sweden
- Oshani Seneviratne, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA
Contact: DoctoralConsortium-iswc2022@easychair.org


2. Call for Posters and Demos
*******************************************
The ISWC 2022 Posters and Demos Track complements the paper tracks of the
conference by offering an opportunity to present late-breaking research
results, on-going research or resource projects, and speculative or
innovative work in progress. The Lightning Talks track will be open to all
accepted Poster & Demo submissions, while a separate call will allow anyone
else to submit a presentation proposal to the Lightning Track.

The informal setting of the Posters and Demos Track encourages presenters
and participants to engage in discussions about the work. Such discussions
can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters while
offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of
emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.

Call for Posters and Demos:

Deadline: Friday, 13th July, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)
