This volume contains short papers presented at ISWC2020: 19th Interna-
tional Semantic Web Conference November 1-6, 2020, held as a global online
conference. The conference was originally planned for that most fascinating city
of Athens, Greece, but 2020 being the year that it is, participants are all staying
at home and practising their virtual presentation and networking skills. How-
ever, there is still plenty to see and learn about in the Poster and Demonstration,
and Industry Track Sessions of the conference.
We thank the ISWC General Chair, Lalana Kagal of MIT (Mass, USA) for
her strong leadership of a conference that had to find a new way of being the

premier international research conference in Semantic Web, including knowledge
graphs, linked data, ontologies, and AI on the Web.
We thank the conference sponsors: Metaphacts, IBM, inrupt, ebay, Co-
inform, accenture, SIRIUS, Oracle, Google, Springer LNCS, HEROS and the Ar-
tificial Intelligence journal. We are also grateful to Easychair for its highly func-
tional conference management toolkit, and to CEUR-WS for its high-quality,
volunteer-operated service to the computer science research community.
The collection of papers in this proceedings were selected from those submit-
ted to the Poster and Demonstration Track and the Industry Track of ISWC.
Posters and Demonstrations
The Posters and Demos Track is one of the most vibrant parts of every ISWC.
This year, the track was chaired by Rafael Gonçalves and Kerry Taylor. We
received a total of 97 submissions: 58 posters and 39 demos. The program
committee, consisting of 87 members and the track chairs, accepted 43 posters
and 35 demos based on 3 reviews per submission. The decisions were primarily
based on relevance, originality, and clarity of the submissions.

Industry Track
The industry track provides an opportunity for industry adopters to highlight
and share the key learnings and challenges of applying semantic web technologies
in real-world and scalable implementations. This year, the track chairs Freddy
Lecue and Jun Yan received 22 submissions from a wide range of companies
of different sizes, and 15 submissions were accepted. The submissions were
assessed in terms of the quantitative and qualitative value proposition provided;
innovative aspects, impact, lessons learned, and business value in the application
domain; and the degree to which semantic technologies are critical to their
offering. Each paper got one review from an Industry Semantic Web expert,
which has been checked and validated by the Industry track chairs. The final
decision was based on the evidence and impact of industrial applications using
and based on semantic web technologies.
