International Semantic Web Conference

The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) is a series of academic conferences and the premier international forum for the Semantic Web, Linked Data and Knowledge Graph Community.[1][2][3] Here, scientists, industry specialists, and practitioners meet to discuss the future of practical, scalable, user-friendly, and game changing solutions.[4] Its proceedings are published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer-Verlag.

The annual ISWC conference series was established in 2002 by the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) after the success of the Semantic Web Working Symposium, a three-day conference held at Stanford University in the summer of 2001. SWSA continues to oversee the ISWC conference and choose organizers for future ISWC instances based on bids.
