Enterprises have made amazing advances by taking advantage of data about their business to provide predictions and understanding of their customers, markets, and products. But as the world of business becomes more interconnected and global, enterprise data is no long a monolith; it is just a part of a vast web of data. Managing data on a world-wide scale is a key capability for any business today. The Semantic Web treats data as a distributed resource on the scale of the World Wide Web, and incorporates features to address the challenges of massive data distribution as part of its basic design. The aim of the first two editions was to motivate the Semantic Web technology stack from end-to-end; to describe not only what the Semantic Web standards are and how they work, but also what their goals are and why they were designed as they are. It tells a coherent story from beginning to end of how the standards work to manage a world-wide distributed web of knowledge in a meaningful way. The third edition builds on this foundation to bring Semantic Web practice to enterprise. Fabien Gandon joins Dean Allemang and Jim Hendler, bringing with him years of experience in global linked data, to open up the story to a modern view of global linked data. While the overall story is the same, the examples have been brought up to date and applied in a modern setting, where enterprise and global data come together as a living, linked network of data. Also included with the third edition, all of the data sets and queries are available online for study and experimentation at data.world/swwo.

This book highlights novel research in Knowledge Discovery and Management (KDM), gathering the extended, peer-reviewed versions of outstanding papers presented at the annual conferences EGC'2017 & EGC'2018. The EGC conference cycle was founded by the International French-speaking EGC society ("Extraction et Gestion des Connaissances") in 2003, and has since become a respected fixture among the French-speaking community. In addition to the annual conference, the society organizes various other events in order to promote exchanges between researchers and companies concerned with KDM and its applications to business, administration, industry and public organizations. Addressing novel research in data science, semantic Web, clustering, and classification, the content presented here will chiefly benefit researchers interested in these fields, including Ph.D./M.Sc. students, at public and private laboratories alike.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Satellite Events of the 12th European Conference on the Semantic Web, ESWC 2015, held in Portoroz, Slovenia, in May/June 2015. The volume contains 12 poster and 22 demonstration papers, selected from 50 submissions, as well as 22 best workshop papers selected from 140 papers presented at the 16 workshops that took place at ESWC 2015. The papers cover various aspects of the semantic web.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post conference proceedings of the second edition of the Semantic Web Evaluation Challenge, SemWebEval 2015, co-located with the 12th European Semantic Web conference, held in Portoroz, Slovenia, in May/June 2015. This book includes the descriptions of all methods and tools that competed at SemWebEval 2015, together with a detailed description of the tasks, evaluation procedures and datasets. The contributions are grouped in the areas: open knowledge extraction challenge (OKE 2015); semantic publishing challenge (SemPub 2015); schema-agnostic queries over large-schema databases challenge (SAQ 2015); concept-level sentiment analysis challenge (CLSA 2015).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Extended Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2014, held in Anissaras, Portoroz, Slovenia, in May/June 2015. The 43 revised full papers presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 164 submissions. This program was completed by a demonstration and poster session, in which researchers had the chance to present their latest results and advances in the form of live demos. In addition, the PhD Symposium program included 12 contributions, selected out of 16 submissions. The core tracks of the research conference were complemented with new tracks focusing on linking machine and human computation at web scale (cognition and Semantic Web, Human Computation and Crowdsourcing) beside the following subjects Vocabularies, Schemas, Ontologies, Reasoning, Linked Data, Semantic Web and Web Science, Semantic Data Management, Big data, Scalability, Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval, Machine Learning, Mobile Web, Internet of Things and Semantic Streams, Services, Web APIs and the Web of Things, Cognition and Semantic Web, Human Computation and Crowdsourcing and In-Use Industrial Track as well.
