ISWC 2014 P&D                                                                                 Preface


Preface
The ISWC 2014 Poster and Demonstration track complements the Research Paper track of
the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting late-breaking research results, ongoing
research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. The informal setting of the
track encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work.
Such discussions can be a valuable input into the future work of the presenters, while offering
participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and
to network with other researchers.
    These proceedings contain the four-page abstracts of all accepted posters and demos pre-
sented at ISWC 2014. Posters range from technical contributions, reports on Semantic Web
software systems, descriptions of completed work, and also work in progress. Demonstrations
showcase innovative Semantic Web related implementations and technologies. This year we had
156 submissions, of which the program committee accept 71 posters and 49 demos. We would
like to take this opportunity to thank all of the authors for their contributions to the ISWC
2014 programme!
    We would also like to thank the members of the program committee and the additional
reviewers for their time and efforts. A special thanks for respecting our deadlines, we know
these fell in the middle of the summer holidays for many of you! All abstracts included here
have been revised and improved based on your valuable feedback, and we feel the final result
represents a wide variety of topics that will offer a vibrant and exciting session at the conference.
    Finally, we would like to thank our local organisers Luciano Serafini and Chiara Ghidini for
their invaluable help in sorting out the logistics of this track.
