Abstract
This volume contains short papers presented at ISWC2023: 22nd International Semantic Web
Conference November 06-10, 2023, held as an all in-person conference. We thank the ISWC General
Chair, Juanzi Li of Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, for her leadership in organizing the
conference.
We also thank the conference sponsors, listed at https://iswc2023.semanticweb.org/sponsors/ for their
generous support. We are also grateful to Easychair for its highly functional conference management
toolkit and CEUR-WS for its high-quality, volunteer-operated service to the computer science
research community.
The collection of papers in these proceedings were selected from those submitted to the Poster and
Demonstration Track and the Industry Track of ISWC.

1   Posters and Demonstrations
The Posters and Demos Track was chaired by Irini Fundulaki and Kouji Kozaki. This track
complements the paper tracks of the conference by offering an opportunity to present late-breaking
research results, on-going projects, and speculative as well as innovative work in progress. The
Posters and Demos Track encourages presenters and participants to submit papers that have the
potential to create discussions about their work that provide valuable input for the future work of the
presenters. At the same time, it offers participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge on a
variety of research topics and to network with other researchers. This track received 101 papers for
review, of which 57 were accepted (56% acceptance rate). Among the accepted papers, 28 were poster
papers and 29 were demo papers. The program committee, consisting of 55 members and the track
chairs, accepted the 101 contributions with an average of 5 reviews per submission. The 55 members
of the PC were involved in a double-blind review process and assessed each submission based on a
variety of criteria such as novelty, relevance to the Semantic Web, impact, technical contribution, and
readability. Promising submissions requiring shepherding were guided by the track chairs to reach
their full potential. We thank our incredible program committee, comprising the following esteemed

2   Industry
The Industry Track, this year chaired by Daniel Garijo and Jose Manuel Gómez-Pérez, covers all
aspects of innovative commercial or industrial-strength Semantic Technologies and Knowledge
Graphs to showcase the state of adoption. This track received 19 papers for review, of which 12 were
accepted (63% acceptance rate) following a single-blind review process. The 17 members of the PC
assessed each submission in terms of qualitative and quantitative business value, as well as the
innovative aspects, impact, and lessons learned of applying Knowledge Graph and semantic
technologies in the application domain. We thank our incredible program committee, comprising the
