Call for Papers ====================================================================== ISWC Workshop Semantic Web Case Studies and Best Practices for eBusiness SWCASE05 ====================================================================== Objectives The Semantic Web reaches stability in its lower layers with the existence of standards and the upcoming availability of basic technologies and trialed applications. Still, the success of the Semantic Web depends on its capability to deploy in a commercial setting. While a variety of events exists on the foundations and engineering of Semantic Web technologies, this workshop complements these with a forum to learn and discuss about the actual realization of the Semantic Web with applications. The workshop will focus on question of deploying Semantic Web technologies in real business applications. It will call for work on use cases for Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services, on experience reports on commercial deployment and on best practices in doing so. The goals are to provide a forum to exchange knowledge on Semantic Web deployment, the best paths to do so, and the real world obstacles to be considered and on overall cost/benefit expectations and experiences. The workshop can be considered an outreach activity of the academic Semantic Web community to industry to encourage the take-up of research results. At the same time, it is an inreach event as a forum for practitioners to enter industry requirements on further research into the academic research agenda. Topics of Interest Of interest to the workshop are experiences in building Semantic Web applications in real-world contexts. These case studies should condense experiences made as best practices. The following industry sectors and business areas are of particular interest: * Healthcare and life sciences * Human Resources management * Tourism * Service Industry * Media & comms * Gov't & Public Sector * Pharmacy * Energy, Food industry * Transport & logistics * Automobile The list is not exclusive, other industry areas are also welcome.
