The workshop will cover either theoretical or implementation issues that relate to Semantic Web Applications.

The workshops will include 25 scientific papers presentations and a poster session.

As a joint event with SWAP, the artist Gerry Turano will present an exhibition including drawings, reliefs, and sculptures that are metaphorically associated with the themes of the workshop.
