SEMANTICS 2025 Developers Workshop

Colocated with Semantics 2025 on September 3rd (half day) in Vienna, Austria

Bringing academia and industry closer through software

While academia and industry are active in the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph domains, there is often a disconnect between these two worlds. In this workshop, we invite developers of both worlds to present and discuss their software.

Furthermore, by bringing people from academia and industry physically together, this workshop will provide a discussion ground for identifying open problems that are relevant to both sides.

Besides putting a spotlight on Semantic Web software, the workshop aims to pinpoint opportunities for future research and implementations.

In this workshop, we invite talks about the software you created, live demonstrations of your software, and discussion on specific topics.

Topics

The core theme of this workshop concerns development efforts related to the Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs, and Linked Data. An orthogonal goal is to connect academia and industry through these collective development efforts.

Contribution types

This workshop will invite three types of contributions:

  1. Software talk: Participants can submit a short paper (5-6 pages, or ~2,000 words) they can present and (optionally) demonstrate at the workshop. We encourage hands-on presentations, such as live-coding.
  2. Software demo: Participants can submit a link to a software repository (that has a README) they can demonstrate at the workshop.
  3. Discussion topic: Participants can submit an abstract (short paragraph) to propose an interactive discussion topic.

While we allow PDF submissions for short papers, alternative formats are also encouraged, including self-hosted HTML pages. All accepted submissions will be included or linked to from our website. For authors that would like their submission to be included in the published PDF proceedings, a PDF meeting the CEUR requirements must be provided during submission or after acceptance.

Review Policy

All contributions (talks, demos, topics) will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. Talks and demos will be reviewed based on relevance, impact, reusability, technical quality, and availability. Tools can be unfinished and not well-established yet. Discussion topics will be reviewed on relevance and potential for discussion. To foster continued discussions after the review round with program committee members, we will follow a fully open review policy through OpenReview.
