The Research and Innovation track at SEMANTiCS welcomes papers on novel
scientific research and/or innovations relevant to the topics of the
conference. Submissions must be original and must not have been
submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must follow the guidelines
given in the author instructions, including references and optional

will judge it based on its innovativeness, appropriateness, and impact
of results in terms of effectiveness at solving real problems.

= Important Dates:
* Abstract Submission Deadline:    March 22, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
* Paper Submission Deadline:        March 29, 2021 (11:59 pm,Hawaii time)

* Camera-Ready Paper:                 June 06, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)

Author instructions: Reviews will be carried out in a single-blind mode.
Long papers should have a maximum length of 15 pages and short papers of
6 pages. Submissions should follow the guidelines of the Springer LNCS
format. The detailed Call for Research and Innovation papers is
available here: https://2021-eu.semantics.cc/calls

== Posters and Demos Track ==
The Posters and Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in
progress, late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller
contributions in all fields related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data
in a broader sense. These include submissions on innovative applications
with impact on end users, such as demos of solutions that users may test
or that are yet in the conceptual phase but are worth discussing, and
also applications or pieces of code that may attract developers and
potential research or business partners.

= Important Dates:
* Paper Submission Deadline:        May 24, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
* Notification of Acceptance:         June 21, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
* Camera-Ready Paper:                 July 05, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)

Author instructions: Proceedings are planned to be published via CEUR
Workshop Proceedings and should follow the guidelines of the Springer
LNCS format.  The detailed Call for Poster and Demos papers is available
online.

== Industry and Use Case Track ==
Focusing strongly on industry needs and ground breaking technology
trends SEMANTICS invites presentations on enterprise solutions that deal
with semantic processing of data and/or information. A special focus of
Semantics 2019 will be on the convergence of machine learning techniques
and knowledge graphs. Additional topics of interest are Enterprise
Knowledge Graphs, Semantic AI & Machine Learning, Enterprise Data
Integration, Linked Data & Data Publishing, Semantic Search,
Recommendation Services, Thesaurus and/or Ontology Management, Text
Mining, Data Mining and any related fields. All submissions should have
a strong focus on real-world applications beyond the prototypical stage
and demonstrate the power of semantic systems!

Hawaii time)

Submit your presentations here:
http://2021-eu.semantics.cc/submission-industry-presentations

== Workshops and Tutorials ==
Workshops and Tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2018 allow your organisation or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased
visibility. The workshops and tutorials will provide a forum for
presenting widely recognised contributions and findings to a diverse and
knowledgeable community. Furthermore, the event can be used as a
dissemination activity in the scope of large research projects or as a
closed format for research and commercial project consortia meetings.

= Important Dates for Workshops:
* Proposals  WS Deadline:        March 01, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
* Notification of Acceptance:         March 15, 2021 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)

== Special Calls ==
Special calls or sub-topics are dedicated towards specific topics that
are of special interest to the SEMANTiCS community. IN case we receive a
sufficient amount of high quality submissions these topics will become
special tracks within the conference program. For 2021 SEMANTiCS
Amsterdam encourages submissions to the following sub-topics:

* Special Sub-Topic: Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage
* Special Sub-Topic: LegalTech
* Special Sub-Topic: Distributed and Decentralized Knowledge Graphs

Each sub-topic is managed by a distinct committee and encourages
submissions from the scientific or industrial domain. Scientific
submissions will undergo a thorough review process and will be published
in the conference proceedings in case of acceptance. Industrial
submissions will be evaluated and selected according to the quality
criteria of the industry track. WE are looking forward to your submissions!

== SEMANTiCS 2021 EU Organizing Committee ==

The program committee is announced on the conference website

== About SEMANTiCS ==
The annual SEMANTiCS EU conference is the meeting place for
professionals who make semantic computing work, understand its benefits,
and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts
researchers and practitioners alike from a wide spectrum of
organisations ranging from universities, non-profit organisations,
public administration bodies, to SMEs and the largest companies in the
world.
SEMANTiCS is bound to continue a long tradition of building bridges
between like minded but often separated communities of interest. To do
so, the conference aims to explore the intersections, benefits and
hurdles of various traditions in artificial intelligence, machine
learning and semantic processing of graph data and information.
SEMANTiCS invites latest scientific research as well as presentations on
industry implementations, use case prototypes and best practices.

The SEMANTiCS program will provide a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions on emerging topics and presentations of practical systems by
people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees will
have a unique opportunity to network with experts in a variety of
fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they
encounter technical challenges in any stage of implementation. The
expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their
careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS the key event
across Europe for a diverse community of industry leaders and academic
experts alike.

Apologies not accepted. Don't know about others on this list, but I'm tired
of your spam of conferences very remotely related to MediaWiki development.
MediaWiki is not Semantic MediaWiki, 99% of people here don't care about
your stuff. Please stop.

i don't mind a crosspost, but probably not a good idea to vent your
frustration against a crosspost on a public list IMO.

I agree with Max. This conference is pretty much irrelevant for this list,
as it has almost nothing to do with the topic of wikis generally. The only
connection this conference has to this list is the existence of the
Semantic MediaWiki extension; this list could quickly be overrun with
conference emails if they were allowed on the basis of the existence of a
MediaWiki extension related to the topic area.

Sebastian, there are a few Semantic MediaWiki email lists
<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_mailing_lists>,
why don't you try posting this there? You might get a lot more interest, as
the audience there will be very interested in the Semantic Web. :-)

Normally i avoid +1 posts, but since Max is getting some criticism, I
wanted to say I also think that this particular conference is off topic to
this mailing list and should be posted in a more appropriate venue.

I agree. But please do not let yourself be misled by syntactic
similarities: there is no relationship between this conference
announcement and the Semantic MediaWiki extension or its community. We
don't spam MediaWiki lists.

+1 to that. Please have a look at
https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2014/01/31/apologies-for-cross-posting/
(by Ruben Verborgh who is quite active in the field of the conference).

I do wonder why it was cross-posted to wikitech-l, but not to the
wikidata list?
