communicated on time.
Organizers of tutorials will be granted three free tickets (only for the
workshop & tutorial day) for organization purposes or keynotes.
Participants of tutorials will be charged a marginal fee to cover the
basic costs.

* a statement addressing why the event is important, why the event is
timely, how it is relevant to SEMANTiCS 2023 and the field of semantic
web. For the tutorials, why the presenters are qualified for a
high-quality introduction of the topic
* a statement addressing the quality assurance criterion that will be
used for the tutorial presenters..
* structure of the event and plans for generating and stimulating
discussion; how will the interaction be organized in case of a hybrid event
* desired minimum and maximum number of event participants, expected
number of participants, and (in case of previously held events) number
of registered attendees and web site for previous editions of the event
* a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes
* desired prerequisite knowledge of the audience
* proposed duration of the event (i.e., half or full day), different
sessions if applicable (final time slot will be assigned in accordance

* The potential to advance the state of semantic web research and practice
* The quality assurance criterion proposed by the organizers to select
high-quality presenters for tutorials
* The organizers' experience and ability to lead a successful event
* Timeliness and expected interest in the event topics
* The balance and synergy between all SEMANTiCS 2023 events
=Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)=

Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We at the Core Organizing Team would like to see a program submission related to Wiktionary projects.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on other Wikimedia projects such as Wiktionary are topics we like to see this year.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March.

* Submissions must be in English.
* Submissions must be anonymous; the reviewing process is double-blind,
but reviewers will be able to disclose their identities if they wish, by
signing their reviews.
* Accepted papers will be published in open access proceedings by IOS
Press, and the text of all the reviews (excluding the scores) of all the
accepted papers will be posted on the conference website and will be
archived on Zenodo as publicly available material.
* At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the paper.
* All authors are strongly suggested to provide optional links to code,
materials, and datasets during the submission process - we will have
specific optional fields in the EasyChair submission form - the review
process will take these into account when provided. To anonymise
resources for the reviewing process, authors can use services like
Anonymous GitHub or figshare/Zenodo as described here.
* The Research and Innovation Track will not accept papers that, at the
time of submission, are under review or have already been published in
or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.
* All authors will have the opportunity to provide an ORKG comparison in
the Open Research Knowledge Graph (https://orkg.org) during the
submission process - we will have a specific optional field in the
EasyChair submission form.
= Review and Evaluation Criteria =
Each submission will be reviewed by several Programme Committee members.
The reviewing process is double-blind. However, reviewers can disclose
their identity by signing their reviews and/or adding one of their
persistent identifiers (e.g. their ORCID).
The text of all the reviews (excluding the scores) of all the accepted
papers will be posted on the conference website with the basic
bibliographic metadata of the reviewed submission (i.e. title and
authors), and it will be archived on Zenodo as publicly available
material. All the signed reviews of the accepted papers will be licensed
using a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY, the copyright
holder will be the reviewer), except the anonymous ones that will be
released in CC0.
Papers submitted to this track will be evaluated according to the
following criteria:
* Appropriateness
* Originality, novelty, and innovativeness
* Impact of results
* Soundness of the evaluation
* Proper comparison to related work
* Clarity and quality of writing

their identity by signing their reviews and/or adding one of their
persistent identifiers (e.g. their ORCID).
The text of all the reviews (excluding the scores) of all the accepted
papers will be posted on the conference website with the basic
bibliographic metadata of the reviewed submission (i.e. title and
authors), and it will be archived on Zenodo as publicly available
material. All the signed reviews of the accepted papers will be licensed
using a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY, the copyright
holder will be the reviewer), except the anonymous ones that will be
released in CC0.
Papers submitted to this track will be evaluated according to the
following criteria:
* Appropriateness
* Originality, novelty, and innovativeness
* Impact of results
* Soundness of the evaluation
* Proper comparison to related work
* Clarity and quality of writing
* Reproducibility of results and resources
We are looking forward to your contribution!

Dear all,
We are happy to announce that we will organize a DBpedia Meeting in
Vienna, Austria. The DBpedia Day is part of the SEMANTiCS, Sep 13-15,
and will be held on the first day of the conference on 13th of September
2022.
This year's topics: Linking and Consumption of Linked Data
Since 2007, DBpedia has been the hub of the Linked Open Data Cloud, the
largest constantly updating knowledge graph on Earth using Linked Data
principles.
By following the 62 million links published alongside the 6.5 million
identifiers of the DBpedia Snapshot
(https://www.dbpedia.org/blog/dbpedia-snapshot-2022-03-release/
<https://www.dbpedia.org/blog/dbpedia-snapshot-2022-03-release/>), our
users could discover and consume more data from the web. Now in 2022, 15
years after the first release, we developed a way to scale up our
identifier base into the billions to provide the glue for better linking
and consumption of linked data. The main topics of the DBpedia Day will
be twofold:
1. We would like to ask our industrial and academic members as well as
the wider community to present the latest technology to discover, query,
link, curate and consume Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs. If you would
like to present at the DBpedia Day, please send an email to
dbpedia(a)infai.org.
2. We will introduce the Linkmaster 3000
https://tinyurl.com/linkmaster-3000-lswt
<https://tinyurl.com/linkmaster-3000-lswt>(the new Open Online Link
Curation Platform), the Global LD API, the Databus and the Global LD
Browser to gather feedback.
