Submissions are due by October 14, 2016. As the Semantic Web and Linked Data have matured over the past decade, we have witnessed the growth and deployment of a variety of applications that exploit Semantic Web technologies and standards to solve customers? problems in novel ways: from semantic search on the Web and question answering systems leveraging large knowledge graphs to informatgion integration and predictive analytics in domains as diverse as healthcare & life sciences and smart cities. These applications have tested, stressed, and imposed real-world constraints on semantic technologies. First, they have imposed significant scalability requirements on Semantic Web systems such as knowledge graph stores, reasoners, etc. Second, given the sheer size and decentralized nature of the Semantic Web and Linked Data, they have magnified data integration challenges, which were traditionally limited to integration across a few sources, to practical data integration at Web scale. The goal of this special issue is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners to share their experience in designing, developing, deploying and evaluating applications and solutions that leverage semantic technologies and standards to achieve practical benefit. In addition to submissions addressing traditional challenges of scalability and data integration, we also encourage submissions focused on tooling supporting Semantic Web application development and deployment, concrete use cases and case studies. Specifically, we expect submissions on, but not restricted to, the following topics with an emphasis on how semantic technologies were uniquely able to tackle application requirements and users? needs: * Case studies and use cases for solutions and applications exploiting semantic technologies * Foundations, methods, tools and technologies for facilitating Semantic Web application development and deployment * Exploitation of large scale knowledge graphs * Applications and solutions using data mining and machine learning on Linked Data. * In-use Ontology and domain modeling In particular, applications not specifically concerned with the (semantic) web are also relevant as long as they exploit semantic technologies.
