SURVEY ARTICLES ON SEMANTIC WEB TOPICS

Description

The "Semantic Web" journal invites submissions of full-length papers surveying the state of the art of topics central to the journal's scope. Survey articles should have the potential to become well-known introductory and overview texts.

These submissions will be reviewed along the following dimensions: (1) Suitability as introductory text, targeted at researchers, PhD students, or practitioners, to get started on the covered topic. (2) How comprehensive and how balanced is the presentation and coverage. (3) Readability and clarity of the presentation. (4) Importance of the covered material to the broader Semantic Web community.

We invite submissions on all topics related to the Semantic Web.
