SEMANTIC WEB TRACK The 23rd International World Wide Web Conference April 7-11, 2014 / Seoul, Korea http://www2014.kr The International World Wide Web Conference (WWW) is an annual international conference on the topics of the future direction of the World Wide Web. WWW aims to bring together the researchers and practitioners from various disciplines in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges in the evolution of the Web and the standardization of its associated technologies, as well as the impact of those technologies on society and culture. We invite original contributions on topics related to the Semantic Web, including (but not limited to) the ones below. The conference will be held at Seoul, the heart of the Korean culture and education as well as politics and economics. Seoul was the capital city of Korea's last dynasty for six hundred years and it is the home of many historic sites including royal palaces and places of traditional cultures such as traditional Korean villages and traditional market places. *Important Dates:* Research track abstract registration: Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 (23:59 Hawaii Standard Time) Research track full paper submission: Tuesday, October 8th, 2013 (23:59 Hawaii Standard Time) Notifications of acceptance: Saturday, January 4th, 2014 Paper Submission Requirements: All submitted papers must: • be written in English; • contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; • be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) with a font size no smaller than 9pt; • be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform), and formatted for US Letter size; • occupy no more than ten pages, including the abstract and appendices, but excluding references.
