Description

The International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS) promotes a knowledge transfer channel where academics, practitioners, and researchers can discuss, analyze, criticize, synthesize, communicate, elaborate, and simplify the more-than-promising technology of the semantic Web in the context of information systems. The journal aims to establish value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: academia, industry, and government.

Topics Covered

  • Beyond Semantic Web (e.g., extending meaning with perception and experience)
  • Enterprise application integration
  • From e-government to e-democracy
  • Integration with other disciplines
  • Intelligent Systems
  • Metadata-driven (bottom-up) versus ontology-driven (top-down) SW development
  • New Semantic Web enabled business models
  • New Semantic Web enabled information systems
  • New Semantic Web enabled tools for the citizen/ learner/ organization/ business
  • Ontologies, folksonomies, and associated knowledge representation issues
  • Real world applications towards the development of the Knowledge society
  • Semantic enabled business intelligence
  • Semantic Web applications on the web, enterprises, desktops, personal and mobile devices, e-science and e-government applications, and associated issues of provenance, trust, privacy, security, quality, scalability, and performance
  • Semantic Web data management
  • Semantic Web issues, challenges, and implications in each of the IS research streams
  • Semantics and human computer interfaces including visualization and mashups
  • Semantics in business processes and distributed computing and services
  • Social Semantic Web and people web
  • Standards

Mission and Scope

The International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS) is an archival journal that publishes high quality original manuscripts in all aspects of Semantic Web that are relevant to computer science and information systems communities. IJSWIS is an open forum aiming to cultivate the Semantic Web vision within the information systems research community. The main focus is on information systems discipline and working towards the delivery of the main implications that the Semantic Web brings to information systems and the information/knowledge society.

Reviews and Testimonials

Today's Web is rich in data but poor in semantic. Semantic Web will help realize the true understanding of humans by computers. The International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS) is the only international journal focusing on the intersection of the the Semantic Web and Information Systems areas. The journal aims to not only advance the state of Semantic Web technologies but also improve our understanding of the impact of Semantic Web technologies on individuals and organizations and our understanding of users' requirements for Semantic Web technologies.
