[Obo-discuss] [CfP] SEMANTiCS 2025 - 1st Call for Industry & Use Case Presentations

[Kossi A. <kam...@ai...>]

 Call for Industry & Use Case Presentations

The Industry & Use Case track at SEMANTiCS welcomes submissions that
present use cases and industry adoption of semantic technology. Solutions
that deal with semantic processing of data and/or information in areas like
Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning,
Data Publishing, Thesaurus and/or Ontology management, and any related
fields. All submissions have a strong focus on real world applications
beyond the prototypical status and demonstrate the power of semantic
systems!

<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2025>. Please notice that
a paper abstract is not necessary, as your submission will only include a
presentation at SEMANTiCS and not a paper. Any submission should contain a
summary of 200 to 300 words that will be used in the final program. Your
submission must also include a full page description of the use case you
want to present, in particular: initial situation, approach, business value
and benefits of the semantic solution, prospects and recommendation.
Submissions that don’t meet these requirements cannot be taken into account.

Via Easychair, you can enter your summary in the field “Abstract”, and the
full page description via the “upload paper” button. The summary will
appear in the program on the webpage, the full page description will only
be used in the selection process.

*Author Guidelines and Submission*

   -

   This call for presentations reaches out to professionals in the areas
   related to the topics of SEMANTiCS for proposals to present industry
   implementations, best practices and use case prototypes, to discuss
   semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
   settings. Additionally, we explicitly encourage the submission of software
   applications, apps or services that demonstrate the usefulness and benefits
   of semantic technologies and semantic data management.
   -

   To contribute a submission for a presentation at SEMANTiCS 2025 please
   prepare the following: Fill out the online application at Easychair and
   give us relevant information about your expertise and your professional
   background.

   Submissions must adhere to the fair use of Large Language Models. Please
   refer to the SEMANTiCS full policy for more details:
   https://2025-eu.semantics.cc/page/llm-policy

When your submission is accepted and you are preparing your talk, please
take care to address the following aspects:

   -


*Initial Situation *What kind of challenge did you face in the beginning of
   the project? What problems needed to be solved?
   -


*Approach and IT-Solution *Which approach and methodology has been chosen
   to tackle the problem(s)? How is your solution composed with respect to
   technological aspects / human aspects / organisational aspects? How do the
   semantic components support the process from data to knowledge?
   -


*Success Criteria for / Benefit of the Semantic Solution *Which factors
   (conscious and unconscious) have been crucial to the success of your
   project? Which obstacles did you face? How can you measure the benefit of
   your solution? How does the organisation benefit from your solution?
   -


*Prospects and Recommendations *What are the next steps planned in your
   project? Can you give recommendations with respect to development /
   deployment of semantic solutions within organisational / corporate settings?
   -


*Demo (if applicable) *Prepare a short demonstration of your tool / service.

*Review and Evaluation Criteria*

Every submission will be reviewed by the Programme Committee.

Submissions to this track will be evaluated according to the following
criteria:

   -

   Your presentation is relevant to industry and industrial purposes. It
   illustrates how semantic technologies / solutions contribute to or improve
   existing businesses and / or generate new ones.
   -

   The presented solution has already been deployed and / or has been
   tested in a practical environment – at least prototypically.
   -

   Your presentation is well-structured and does bring across its message.
   -

   The topic is well described and covers enough explanations, examples,
   use cases, graphics, etc.
   -

   Novelty: The topic covered is new to your industry – not necessarily new
   to business in general

In case your presentation will be accepted, we will provide you with
detailed information on organisational matters according to the selection
of submissions and conference participation.

We are looking forward to your contribution!
