It is the most important international venue to discuss and present latest advances and applications of the semantic Web, knowledge graphs, linked data, ontologies and artificial intelligence (AI) on the Web.<br><br>ISWC attracts a large number of high quality submissions every year and participants from both industry and academia. ISWC brings together researchers from different areas, such as artificial intelligence, databases, natural language processing, information systems, human computer interaction, information retrieval, web science, etc., who investigate, develop and use novel methods and technologies for accessing, interpreting and using information on the Web in a more effective way.<br><br>Follow us:<br>Twitter: @iswc_conf , #iswc_conf ( <a href="https://twitter.com/iswc_conf" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/iswc_conf</a> )<br>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf/</a><br><br>Become part of ISWC 2019 by submitting to the following tracks & activities or just attend them!<br><br><br>In this announcement:<br>* Highlights<br>1.

Call for Journal papers<br>*******************************************<br>The journal track is intended as a forum for presentations of significant Semantic Web-related research results that have been published recently in well known and established journals and have never been presented at any Semantic Web-related conference. The goal is to give visibility of these results to a conference audience as well as to promote discussions concerning such results.<br><br>Eligible papers should either have been published within the Semantic Web Journal or Journal of Web Semantics or must be clearly fitting the ISWC topics, if published in alternative established and recognized journals (see the list below). Specifically, eligible papers should have been published (even only in the electronic version) in the last around two years (starting from January 1st 2017 until present), though exceptions could be made for papers judged as potentially very influential but that have been published before January 2017.<br><br>The authors of such papers will have the opportunity to present their work during the conference days. The abstracts of accepted papers will be published on the conference web site and the papers themselves will be compiled into a CEUR-WS Proceedings for easy Web retrieval and archival, but they will not be part of the printed Springer conference proceedings. Metadata for all accepted submissions will be included in the conference metadata corpus. Detailed information about metadata creation will be provided with the acceptance notification of the successful submissions.<br><br>Further info: <a href="https://iswc2019.semanticweb.org/call-for-journal-track/" target="_blank">https://iswc2019.semanticweb.org/call-for-journal-track/</a><br><br>== Important Dates ==<br>Submissions due: May 29, 2019 (**
