Call for Contributions: Sem4Tra 2025 - Semantics 2025

Dear Semantic Web community,

Sem4Tra 2025 is a workshop co-located with Semantics 2025 for advancing semantic research in transportation and logistics.

We welcome researchers and practitioners to share research contributions on data harmonization, knowledge representation, and actionable semantics across academia and industry.

Submission portal: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sem4tra25

Deadline submission: June 28th
Notifications: July 5th

Contributions accepted:

  *   Long research/experience papers (10-12 pages)
  *   Short research papers (4-6 pages)
  *   Position papers (4-6 pages)
  *   System/demo papers (4-6 pages)
  *   Abstract from journal papers (2-4 pages)
  *   5 minutes lightning talk for project or idea (1 page max)

Topics:

  *   Mobility and Logistics Data Spaces
  *   Query languages and methods for a Web of Transport Data
  *   Creating automated alignments between datasets using the various specifications
  *   Recommendations for mobility specification builders to raise interoperability between specifications
  *   Alignments with existing or upcoming general-purpose Web API specifications such as W3C Web payments or Linked Web Storage
  *   Interfaces between enterprise data and the Semantic Web
  *   Discovery methods for mobility information through for example DCAT-based portals
  *   The exploitation of Transport Data on the Web
  *   Challenges and opportunities for route planning and ticketing
  *   Personalized route planning taking into account data stored on your client or personal data space
  *   Anonymization in the mobility space for data sharing
  *   Benchmarking of Web Infrastructure
  *   Comparing ticketing API architectures
  *   Comparing route planning API architectures
  *   Publishing and querying planned transport data and their live updates on the Web
  *   Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies in the transportation domain
  *   Aligning regional vocabularies with international reference domain models such as Transmodel, NeTEx, SIRI or DATEXII
  *   Reusing existing linked datasets, such as Geonames, OpenStreetMap or Wikidata in the transport domain
  *   Bridging the gap with non-RDF specifications such as MobilityDataSpecification, General Transit Feed Specification, General Bike Feed Specification, TOMP API or MaaS API
  *   Building a Knowledge Graph of the transportation domain by integration and conversion of heterogeneous data sources (e.g., National Access Points or local sources)
  *   Extensions, implementations, or algorithms on top of Mobility DCAT-AP
  *   Use cases or datasets of applying semantic technologies and/or data spaces in the logistics or mobility sector
  *   Smart mobility, such as logistics, infrastructure, navigation, or booking/ticketing.
  *   Making route suggestions and driving planning recommendations more explainable and transparent
  *   Applications of Digital Product Passport/Provenance for supply chain tracking or CO2 emissions calculations
  *   Semantic data sets from the transport or logistics domain, such as (railway) infrastructure, supply chain events, or observed CO2 emissions
