Preface
The ISWC 2015 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 extended abstracts of all
accepted posters and demos presented at Posters and Demos Track of ISWC 2015. 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 126 submissions, of which the
program committee accept 44 posters and 55 demos. We would like to take this opportunity
to thank all of the authors for their contributions to the ISWC 2015 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 in this volume have been
revised and improved based on your valuable reviews, and we feel the final result represents a
wide variety of topics that will offer a vibrant and exciting session at the conference. Moreover,
we would like to thank our local organiser Jeff Heflin and Shaku Jain-Cocks for their invaluable
help in sorting out the logistics of this track. Finally, we would like to thank Anna Lisa Gentile
and Andrea Nuzzolese for their invaluable help to set up the online voting system for the Best
Demo/Poster Awards.
