Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the Special Issue on "Current Practice and Future Directions of Semantic Web Technologies". This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the evolving landscape of Semantic Web technologies and their crucial role in shaping the future of information retrieval, knowledge representation, and data integration.

Semantic Web technologies have witnessed significant growth and transformation, revolutionizing the way we organize, access, and understand data on the web. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that explore the current landscapes and future possibilities of Semantic Web technologies. Our focus is on understanding both the present state and the emerging trends in this dynamic field. We encourage contributions that not only shed light on the latest applications but that also critically examine potential avenues for future development.

The Semantic Web has transcended its initial vision and has found applications in various domains, including but not limited to data integration, knowledge graphs, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence. As Semantic Web technologies continue to evolve, their potential for enabling more intelligent and context-aware information systems is increasingly apparent. We invite researchers and experts to explore and share their work on novel Semantic Web approaches, innovative applications, and real-world-use cases.

Contributions are encouraged to address pioneering Semantic Web technology developments, cutting-edge data representation and inference techniques, and compelling case studies showcasing the impact of Semantic Web technologies in diverse domains. This Special Issue presents a unique opportunity to exchange insights into the current state of Semantic Web practice and its exciting future directions.

We look forward to your valuable contributions and the opportunity to collectively advance the field of Semantic Web technologies.
