<h1> Call for Industry & Use Case Presentations</h1>
<p>The Industry & Use Case track at SEMANTiCS welcomes submissions
that present use cases and industry adoption of semantic technology.
Solutions that deal with semantic processing of data and/or information
in areas like Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs, Artificial Intelligence,
Machine Learning, Data Publishing, Thesaurus and/or Ontology management,
and any related fields. All submissions have a strong focus on real
world applications beyond the prototypical status and demonstrate the
power of semantic systems!</p>

Please notice that a paper abstract is not necessary, as your submission
will only include a presentation at SEMANTiCS and not a paper. Any
submission should contain a summary of 200 to 300 words that will be
used in the final program. Your submission must also include a full page
description of the use case you want to present, in particular: initial
situation, approach, business value and benefits of the semantic
solution, prospects and recommendation. Submissions that don’t meet
these requirements cannot be taken into account.</p>
<p>Via Easychair, you can enter your summary in the field “Abstract”,
and the full page description via the “upload paper” button. The summary
will appear in the program on the webpage, the full page description
will only be used in the selection process.</p>

<h2 id="author-guidelines-and-submission"><strong>Author Guidelines and
Submission</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li><p>This call for presentations reaches out to professionals in the
areas related to the topics of SEMANTiCS for proposals to present
industry implementations, best practices and use case prototypes, to
discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as
informal settings. Additionally, we explicitly encourage the submission
of software applications, apps or services that demonstrate the
usefulness and benefits of semantic technologies and semantic data
management.</p></li>
<li><p>To contribute a submission for a presentation at SEMANTiCS 2025
please prepare the following: Fill out the online application at
Easychair and give us relevant information about your expertise and your
professional background.</p></li>

description will only be used in the selection process.</p></li>
<li><p>All accepted submissions will be granted a presentation slot at
the main conference. Please stick to this time pattern when preparing
your talk. This is the only way we can guarantee a smooth and satisfying
programme and allow all conference participants to attend as many slots
as possible without missing important information.</p></li>
<li><p>Submissions must adhere to the fair use of Large Language Models.
Please refer to the SEMANTiCS full policy for more details: <a href="https://2025-eu.semantics.cc/page/llm-policy">https://2025-eu.semantics.cc/page/llm-policy</a></p></li>
</ul>
<p>When your submission is accepted and you are preparing your talk,
please take care to address the following aspects:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><em>Initial Situation<br>
</em>What kind of challenge did you face in the beginning of the
project? What problems needed to be solved?</p></li>
<li><p><em>Approach and IT-Solution<br>
</em>Which approach and methodology has been chosen to tackle the
problem(s)? How is your solution composed with respect to technological
aspects / human aspects / organisational aspects? How do the semantic
components support the process from data to knowledge?</p></li>
<li><p><em>Success Criteria for / Benefit of the Semantic Solution<br>
</em>Which factors (conscious and unconscious) have been crucial to the
success of your project? Which obstacles did you face? How can you
measure the benefit of your solution? How does the organisation benefit
from your solution?</p></li>
<li><p><em>Prospects and Recommendations<br>
</em>What are the next steps planned in your project? Can you give
recommendations with respect to development / deployment of semantic
solutions within organisational / corporate settings?</p></li>
<li><p><em>Demo (if applicable)<br>
</em>Prepare a short demonstration of your tool / service.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="review-and-evaluation-criteria"><strong>Review and Evaluation
Criteria</strong></h2>
<p>Every submission will be reviewed by the Programme Committee.</p>
<p>Submissions to this track will be evaluated according to the
following criteria:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Your presentation is relevant to industry and industrial
purposes. It illustrates how semantic technologies / solutions
contribute to or improve existing businesses and / or generate new
ones.</p></li>
<li><p>The presented solution has already been deployed and / or has
been tested in a practical environment – at least
prototypically.</p></li>
<li><p>Your presentation is well-structured and does bring across its
message.</p></li>
<li><p>The topic is well described and covers enough explanations,
examples, use cases, graphics, etc.</p></li>
<li><p>Novelty: The topic covered is new to your industry – not
necessarily new to business in general</p></li>
</ul>
<p>In case your presentation will be accepted, we will provide you with
detailed information on organisational matters according to the
selection of submissions and conference participation.</p>
<p>We are looking forward to your contribution!</p>
