ABOUT ESWC2010

The mission of the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2010) is to bring
together researchers and practitioners dealing with different aspects of
semantics on the Web. ESWC2010 builds on the success of the former European
Semantic Web Conference series, but seeks to extend its focus by
collaborating with other communities and research areas, in which web
semantics play an important role -- within and outside ICT. At the same
time, ESWC2010 is a truly international conference, not only "European".
Semantics of web content, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), data
about web usage, natural language processing, etc. will enable a web that
provides a qualitatively new level of functionality. It will weave together
a large network of human knowledge and make this knowledge
machine-processable. Various automated services, based on reasoning with
metadata and ontologies, will help the users to achieve their goals by
accessing and processing information in machine-understandable form. This
network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent
systems, which will be employed for various complex decision-making tasks.
Research about web semantics can benefit from ideas and cross-fertilization
with many other areas: Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing,
Database and Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia,
Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web Engineering, and Web Science.
ESWC2010 will present the latest results in research and applications in its
field. The research program will be organised in targeted research tracks.
In addition, the conference will feature a tutorial program, system
descriptions and demos, a posters track, a Ph.D. symposium, and a number of
collocated workshops. The individual calls for these events can be found on
the conference Web site (http://www.eswc2010.org/).
