The Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) is a major venue for discussing the latest scientific results and technology innovations around semantic technologies. Building on its past success, ESWC is seeking to broaden its focus to span other relevant related research areas in which Web semantics plays an important role. ESWC 2019 will present the latest results in research, technologies and applications in its field. Besides the technical program organized over twelve tracks, the conference will feature a workshop and tutorial program, a dedicated track on Semantic Web challenges, system descriptions and demos, a posters exhibition and a doctoral symposium.
We are very pleased to announce that we got 2 papers accepted at ESWC 2019 for presentation at the main conference. Additionally, we also had 1 Workshop, 2 Tutorials and 1 workshop paper and 3 Posters/Demo papers accepted. In addition, we participated in the Networking Session.
Furthermore, we are very happy to announce that we won the Best Demo Award for the “MantisTable: a Tool for Creating Semantic Annotations on Tabular Data” by Marco Cremaschi, Anisa Rula, Alessandra Siano, and Flavio De Paoli.
Congratulations to best demo award winners: @cremmarco, @AnisaRula , Alessandra Siano and @FlavioDePaoli. MantisTable: a Tool for Creating Semantic Annotations on Tabular Data #eswc2019

We organized a workshop about large-scale rdf analytics co-located with the ESWC’19 conference. More than 20 people attended the workshop containing a keynote about “Analytical processing and reasoning in RDF stores” and 3 paper presentations. At the end of the workshop, a panel discussion was held about the future of rdf analytics at scale and challenges.#LASCAR workshop just started @eswc_conf . @oliviercure is giving a talk about “Analytical processing and reasoning in #RDF stores” #eswc2019 pic.twitter.com/F6qZbcRQzp
