Kossi Amouzouvi
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!
Important dates
(Extended) Submission Deadline: June 1, 2025 (11:59pm)
Notification of Acceptance: June 13, 2025 (11:59 pm)
Presentation Ready: August 18, 2025 (11:59 pm)
All deadlines are set for 11:59 pm, Anywhere On Earth time (UTC-12)
Submission via Easychair on 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.
Topics of Interest
SEMANTiCS 2025 especially invites contributions that target the following main topics in the context of semantic-based research and systems as well as applicative domains.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Large Language Models (LLM) combined with Knowledge Graphs
Enterprise Knowledge Graphs, Graph Data Management
Machine Learning Techniques for/using Knowledge Graphs (e.g. reinforcement learning, deep learning, data mining and knowledge discovery)
Knowledge Management (e.g. acquisition, capture, extraction, authoring, integration, publication)
Reasoning, rules and policies
Web Semantics & Linked (Open) Data
Natural Language Processing for/using Knowledge Graphs
Crowdsourcing for/using Knowledge Graphs
Semantics in Data Science
Trust, Data Privacy, and Security with Semantic Technologies
Authentication of knowledge graphs
IoT and Stream Processing, Linked Data Event Streams
Conversational AI and Dialogue Systems
Provenance and Data Change Tracking
Semantic Interoperability (via mapping, crosswalks, standards, etc.)
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.

All accepted submissions will be granted a presentation slot at the main conference. Please stick to this time pattern when preparing your talk. This is the only way we can guarantee a smooth and satisfying programme and allow all conference participants to attend as many slots as possible without missing important information.
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!
