DBpedia Day - Co-located with SEMANTiCS 2025
Vienna, Austria
September 3, 2025
Submission Deadline: July 15, 2025 (AoE)
Submission Form: https://forms.gle/6KNBMuRsyXs8RiD89

How can Large Language Models (LLMs) benefit from structured knowledge
like DBpedia? And how can we improve DBpedia to better serve the next
generation of AI systems?
This session invites talks on the intersection of LLMs and Knowledge
Graphs, with a special emphasis on DBpedia. Our goal is to understand
how to make Linked Data more useful, accessible, and trustworthy for
LLM-based applications—and how to evolve DBpedia in this new
AI-dominated landscape.
= Topics of Interest =
* Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with DBpedia
* Prompt engineering for KG-aware LLMs
* Query translation: From natural language to SPARQL using LLMs
* Using LLMs to summarize or explain DBpedia data
* LLMs as interfaces for Linked Data consumption
* Automatic ontology alignment and entity linking with LLMs
* Improving LLM factual accuracy with DBpedia as a trusted source
* Challenges in grounding LLM output in structured knowledge
* Scaling and performance considerations for hybrid KG–LLM systems
* Bias, hallucination, and verification in LLMs using DBpedia
* Use cases: e.g., chatbots, semantic search, Q&A systems powered by
DBpedia + LLMs
We welcome researchers, developers, and industry practitioners working
on concrete tools, early-stage ideas, or critical perspectives.

21st International Conference on Semantic Systems
Vienna, Austria
September 3 - 5, 2025

Call for Posters & Demos
The Posters & Demos Track provides a platform for researchers to showcase
their latest findings, ongoing projects, and cutting-edge work in progress.
These include submissions on innovative applications, latest results,
unpublished ideas, prototypes of semantic technologies and their use in
various domains as well as applications, use cases, or pieces of code that
may attract developers and potential research or business partners. This
also concerns new datasets made publicly available.
The Posters & Demos Track offers an informal setting that promotes
engagement and dialogue between presenters and attendees. These discussions
can provide valuable feedback for presenters' future work while allowing
participants to gain insight into emerging research trends and network with
other researchers.
*Important dates:*
-
*Paper Submission Deadline: July 4, 2025*
-
*Notification of Acceptance: July 21, 2025 *
-
*Camera-Ready of Paper Deadline: July 28, 2025*
*All deadlines are set for 11:59 pm, Anywhere On Earth time (UTC-12)*
*Submission via Easychair on*
*https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2025*
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2025>.
Proceedings of SEMANTiCS 2025 EU will be made available open access by *
CEUR-WS.org*.
Topics of Interest We welcome contributions in the context of
semantic-based research and systems, which address – but are not limited to
– the topics of the Research Track
<https://2025-eu.semantics.cc/page/cfp_rev_rep>. Additionally, we encourage
submissions of visionary ideas, position statements, negative results, and
unconventional ideas. Demos should showcase innovative implementations and
technologies both, from academia and industry. We also very much encourage
submissions from industry, but they should be focused on presenting a novel
solution to a specific problem and not be in the nature of an advertisement
or commercial product description. Author Guidelines and Submission Poster
and demo submissions should consist of a paper that describes the work, its
contribution to the field or innovative aspects.
-
Poster and demo submissions are at most 5 pages long, including
references.
-
No double-blind submissions required.
-
Submissions must be either in PDF or HTML.
-
Submissions must be formatted in the style of CEUR-ART (
https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html). An Overleaf page for LaTeX users
is available.
-
For demos, we ask authors to include links enabling the reviewers to
test the application or review the component. The absence of a pointer
affects the overall rating of the contribution.
-
Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for
publication elsewhere.
-
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the paper.
