The Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST) is a regional federation of semantic technology related conferences. The mission of JIST is to bring together researchers from the semantic technology research community and other related areas to present their innovative research results or novel applications of semantic technologies. JIST 2013 invites submissions of original research on the semantic web and other semantic technologies, as well as, applications of semantic technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Ontology and Reasoning
Ontology modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution
Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment
Ontology evaluation
Searching and ranking ontologies
Reasoning over semantic web data
New formalisms (such as probabilistic approaches)
Lightweight semantics (linked data, microformats, etc.)

Management of Semantic Web Data
Languages, tools, and methodologies for semantic web data
Database, IR, and AI technologies for semantic web data
Robust and scalable knowledge management and reasoning on the web
Machine learning and information extraction on the web
Cleaning, assurance, and provenance of semantic web data, services, and processes

Linked Data
Publication of linked data
Consumption of linked data
Reasoning with linked data
Search, query, integration, and analysis on linked data
Integration and mashup of linked data
Mining of linked data
Domain specific applications (eGovernment, disaster, life science etc.)

Social Semantic Web
Semantics for social media data
Social network analysis using semantic web technologies
Querying, mining, and analysis of social semantic data
Social semantic web applications
Semantic web technologies for collaboration and cooperation
Representing and reasoning about trust, privacy, and security

Applications of the Semantic Web

Semantic web for P2P, services, agents, grids, and middleware
Semantic web for software and systems engineering
Mobile semantic web
Interfaces for semantic web

Big Data and Data Science
Knowledge Graph and Entity Graph Generation
Graph Mining for Big Data
Data Journalism
Open Data Government
Advanced Data Analytics
Data Centric Science and Management
Data Art and Data Centric Humanities

Empirical Issues of Semantic Web Technology
Description of an implemented application of semantic technology in a specific domain
Analysis and evaluation of usability and uptake of semantic tools
Lessons and best practices for deploying and using an application or service based semantic technology
Assessment of costs and benefits of implementing, deploying, using, and managing semantic technology
Pragmatics of using or deploying semantic technology in real-world scenarios
Comparison of semantic technology with alternative approaches using conventional or competing technologies

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Submissions to JIST 2013 should describe original and significant research based on semantic technologies and provide clear evidence to support their claims and contributions. All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Reviewers will assess submissions based on their relevance to semantic technologies, their originality, the technical soundness of their proposed approach, and the readability of the submission.
Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions must be no longer than 16 pages for REGULAR TECHNICAL SESSIONS and 6 pages for IN-USE TRACK. Submissions that exceed this limit may be rejected without review. JIST 2013 will not accept submissions that are under review by, already been published in. or accepted for publication in a journal or other conference. The proceedings will be published as a book in Lecture Note for Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer. Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and published in the printed conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a book in Lecture Note for Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer. All submissions should be submitted via EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2013. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper in person.
