The workshops for SEMANTiCS 2022 will be held on Tuesday, September 13. We recommend attending SEMANTiCS main conference in the following days as well.
The Future of Documents is shaped by a fundamental change in how documents, documentation and information in general is exchanged. This future sees a shift from traditional "e-paper", formatted and optimised for reading by humans, towards semantically tagged modular information - exchanged in an open digital format. In this tutorial, we will share examples from industries that have a history in structured content

It supports legal experts, innovation managers and application developers in the legally secure reutilization of third-party digital sources. In this tutorial we give an in-depth introduction into the Open DALICC framework, current implementation projects and the open developer program accompanying the DALICC community initiative.
read moreReasoning has become an increasingly valued tool in the semantic web space, and yet to many it’s still a black box solution. Perhaps more tragically, despite the explosion of its development in recent years, many in the space still perceive it as a slow, cumbersome, and ultimately impractical technology, which is far from true today. Whether you’re looking to harness reasoning for your own goals, or to peek behind the curtains of someone else’s solution, now is your time to learn. Get hands on with a reasoning engine in this interactive walkthrough: A Beginner’s Guide to Reasoning. You’ll come away understanding the power of reasoning, what it can add to your data, and the fundamentals of how to apply it yourself. With technology in this space running away, there’s never been a better time to learn! This tutorial will touch on the basics of OWL, and Datalog, before diving into reasoning at a technical level. Each participant will come away having built a reasoning solution for themselves, guided along the way by the CEO of Oxford Semantic Technologies, Peter Crocker. No prior knowledge is required.
read moreIn this tutorial we will tackle the challenge of detecting and uncovering (potentially systematic) quality issues in knowledge graphs, in an as much as possible automatic way. We will cover quality dimensions like accuracy, completeness, conciseness and understandability, and we will apply problem detection methods inspired from linguistics, statistical modeling, and ontological analysis, in publicly available knowledge graphs.
read moreThe development of a knowledge graph (KG), among other steps, requires efforts to conceptualize and create a semantic model; acquire, transform and load relevant data, while mapping them to the model; index, expose and develop your consumption interfaces; and ensure operational resiliency.
read moreThis tutorial teaches the fundamentals and best practices for creating quality taxonomies, thesauri, and ontologies, whether for the enterprise or for specific knowledge bases in any industry. Emphasis will be on serving users and use cases, rather than on theory. Topics to be covered include: different kinds of knowledge organization systems (taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, etc.) their differences and their benefits and suitability for different purposes, Semantic Web standards and other standards, thesaurus/taxonomy concept creation, thesaurus/taxonomy relationship creation, ontology modeling basics, linking knowledge organization systems, and enriching a taxonomy or thesaurus to become an ontology and a knowledge graph.
read moreMaking the huge and diverse kinds of data produced by researchers, data stewards, and service providers, fully reusable and understood requires specific efforts. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles were elaborated to address these issues, describing a set of requirements for data reusability and interoperability. These principles have been gaining increasing attention in a range of different areas and applications, including in the industrial area.
read moreWhile the individual aspects of semantic AI are being studied in their respective research communities a dedicated community focusing on their combination is yet to be established. The proposed workshop intends to contribute to this endeavour.
read moreDigital Twin is a concept that connects concrete systems to digital representations. In a sense, Digital Twins are the similar to ontologies (semantic models), but instead of mapping the real world to conceptual representations, these representations are codified in terms of computer systems and models. By taking the path from systems to their Digital Twins through explicit ontological grounding, we expect that the suitability and expressiveness of these Digital Twins will increase
read moreWe target researchers and practitioners who are contributing to the transformation of the transportation sector by proposing new solutions based on semantic techniques and technologies, to realize MaaS objectives. The workshop is an opportunity for disseminating and discussing use cases and studies showing the application of semantic and web technologies in the transport domain to tackle the aforementioned challenges.
