## Call

The constant growth of Linked Data on the Web raises new challenges for 
querying and integrating massive amounts of data across multiple 
datasets. Such datasets are available through various interfaces, such 
as data dumps, Linked Data Platform, SPARQL endpoints and Triple Pattern 
Fragments. In addition, various sources produce streaming data. 
Efficiently querying these sources is of central importance for the 
scalability of Linked Data and Semantic Web technologies. To exploit the 
massive amount of data to its full potential, users should be able to 
query and combine this data easily and effectively. This workshop at the 
International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) seeks original articles 
describing theoretical and practical methods and techniques for 
fostering, querying, consuming, and benchmarking the Web of Data.

This workshop at the International Semantic Web Conference 2020 (ISWC 
2020) seeks original articles describing theoretical and practical 
methods and techniques for fostering, querying, and consuming the Data 
Web. Topics relevant to this workshop include -- but are not limited to 
-- the following:

SPARQL query processing
* Centralized, decentralized, federated, and distributed
* Demos and applications
* Optimization and source selection
* Benchmarks, ranking, measures, and performance evaluation
* Lightweight Linked Data interfaces
* Streams
* Big Data techniques
* Entailment regimes
* Caching and replication
* Integrating public and private Linked Data
* Querying personal Linked Data stores
* Domain-specific query languages (e.g., temporal and spatial queries)
* Querying embedded Linked Data
* Query relaxation and rewriting
* Alternative languages for representing and querying the Web of Data

## Submission Information

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another 
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:​​​​​​​

* Long papers (up to 16 pages): Presenting novel scientific research 
pertaining to querying the Web of Data
* Short papers (up to 8 pages): Position papers, System, Library, API 
and Dataset descriptions, relevant to the topics of interest.
Demo/Poster papers (up to 4 pages): Describe a demo or poster of a tool 
on the workshop topics.

Submissions must be in English formatted in the style of the Springer 
Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For 
details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions.
We accept PDF submissions as well as HTML submissions in RASH 
(https://github.com/essepuntato/rash) or dokieli 
(https://github.com/linkeddata/dokieli).

Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair system 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quweda2020 no later than August 
24, 2020, mid night Hawaii time. Submissions will be reviewed by members 
of the workshop program committee. Papers will be evaluated according to 
their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and 
relevance to the workshop.

## Proceedings

The complete set of papers will be published with the CEUR Workshop 
Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org), listed by the DBLP. The best paper(s) from 
workshop may be included in the supplementary proceedings of ISWC 2020, 
which will appear in the Springer LNCS series.
