Submissions

ESWC 2007 welcomes the submission of excellent original research and
application papers dealing with all aspects of the Semantic Web,
particularly those related to the subject areas indicated by the
topics below. We particularly encourage the submission of papers on
industrial efforts and experiences with Semantic Web projects. We
encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications
papers.

The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer’s
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and
reviewing for ESWC 2007 will be electronic, via the conference Web
site: http://www.eswc2007.org/.  Papers, due 15 December, 2006, should
not exceed fifteen (15) pages in Springer LNCS format.

Papers may be accepted as (i) full papers, or as (ii) short papers
