[Air-L] [CfP] SEMANTiCS 2025 - 1st Call for Industry & Use Case Presentations

[Beyza Yaman]

Call for Industry & Use Case Presentations

The Industry & Use Case track at SEMANTiCS welcomes submissions that
present use cases and industry adoption of semantic technology. Solutions
that deal with semantic processing of data and/or information in areas like
Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning,
Data Publishing, Thesaurus and/or Ontology management, and any related
fields. All submissions have a strong focus on real world applications
beyond the prototypical status and demonstrate the power of semantic
systems!

Important dates
Submission Deadline: May 14, 2025 (11:59 pm)

Notification of Acceptance: June 13, 2025 (11:59 pm)

Presentation Ready: August 18, 2025 (11:59 pm)

All deadlines are set for 11:59 pm, Anywhere On Earth time (UTC-12)

Submission via Easychair on
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2025. Please notice that a
paper abstract is not necessary, as your submission will only include a
presentation at SEMANTiCS and not a paper. Any submission should contain a
summary of 200 to 300 words that will be used in the final program. Your
submission must also include a full page description of the use case you
want to present, in particular: initial situation, approach, business value
and benefits of the semantic solution, prospects and recommendation.
Submissions that don’t meet these requirements cannot be taken into account.

Via Easychair, you can enter your summary in the field “Abstract”, and the
full page description via the “upload paper” button. The summary will
appear in the program on the webpage, the full page description will only
be used in the selection process.

Topics of Interest
SEMANTiCS 2025 especially invites contributions that target the following
main topics in the context of semantic-based research and systems as well
as applicative domains.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Large Language Models (LLM) combined with Knowledge Graphs

Enterprise Knowledge Graphs, Graph Data Management

Machine Learning Techniques for/using Knowledge Graphs (e.g. reinforcement
learning, deep learning, data mining and knowledge discovery)

Knowledge Management (e.g. acquisition, capture, extraction, authoring,
integration, publication)

Reasoning, rules and policies

Web Semantics & Linked (Open) Data

Natural Language Processing for/using Knowledge Graphs

Crowdsourcing for/using Knowledge Graphs

Semantics in Data Science

Trust, Data Privacy, and Security with Semantic Technologies

Authentication of knowledge graphs

IoT and Stream Processing, Linked Data Event Streams

Conversational AI and Dialogue Systems

Provenance and Data Change Tracking

Semantic Interoperability (via mapping, crosswalks, standards, etc.)

Author Guidelines and Submission
This call for presentations reaches out to professionals in the areas
related to the topics of SEMANTiCS for proposals to present industry
implementations, best practices and use case prototypes, to discuss
semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
settings. Additionally, we explicitly encourage the submission of software
applications, apps or services that demonstrate the usefulness and benefits
of semantic technologies and semantic data management.

To contribute a submission for a presentation at SEMANTiCS 2025 please
prepare the following: Fill out the online application at Easychair and
give us relevant information about your expertise and your professional
background.

Please notice that a paper abstract is not necessary, as your submission

in the final program. Your submission must also include a full page
description of the use case you want to present, iIn particular: initial
situation, approach, business value and benefits of the semantic solution,
prospects and recommendation. Submissions that don’t meet these

All accepted submissions will be granted a presentation slot at the main
conference. Please stick to this time pattern when preparing your talk.
This is the only way we can guarantee a smooth and satisfying programme and
allow all conference participants to attend as many slots as possible
without missing important information.

Submissions must adhere to the fair use of Large Language Models. Please
refer to the SEMANTiCS full policy for more details:
https://2025-eu.semantics.cc/page/llm-policy

When your submission is accepted and you are preparing your talk, please
take care to address the following aspects:

Initial Situation
What kind of challenge did you face in the beginning of the project? What
problems needed to be solved?

Approach and IT-Solution
Which approach and methodology has been chosen to tackle the problem(s)?
How is your solution composed with respect to technological aspects / human
aspects / organisational aspects? How do the semantic components support
the process from data to knowledge?

Success Criteria for / Benefit of the Semantic Solution
Which factors (conscious and unconscious) have been crucial to the success
of your project? Which obstacles did you face? How can you measure the
benefit of your solution? How does the organisation benefit from your
solution?

Prospects and Recommendations
What are the next steps planned in your project? Can you give
recommendations with respect to development / deployment of semantic
solutions within organisational / corporate settings?

Demo (if applicable)
Prepare a short demonstration of your tool / service.

Review and Evaluation Criteria
Every submission will be reviewed by the Programme Committee.

Submissions to this track will be evaluated according to the following
criteria:

Your presentation is relevant to industry and industrial purposes. It
illustrates how semantic technologies / solutions contribute to or improve
existing businesses and / or generate new ones.

The presented solution has already been deployed and / or has been tested
in a practical environment – at least prototypically.

Your presentation is well-structured and does bring across its message.

The topic is well described and covers enough explanations, examples, use
cases, graphics, etc.

Novelty: The topic covered is new to your industry – not necessarily new to
business in general

In case your presentation will be accepted, we will provide you with
detailed information on organisational matters according to the selection
of submissions and conference participation.

We are looking forward to your contribution!
