ASWC

Mission
The Asian Semantic Web conference is meanwhile recognized as the yearly conference on theoretical foundations, technological building blocks and practical applications of semantic technologies on the Asian continent. Targeted at both academia and industry, the conference presents the latest research and development of the Semantic Web and its related technologies.
It brings together researchers in relevant disciplines such as artificial intelligence, knowledge modeling, logic, databases, social networks, Web services, distributed computing, Web engineering, information systems, natural language processing, multimedia, and human-computer interaction.
In contrast to the European Semantic Web state the Semantic Web in Asia is new and an emerging topic which marks the importance of an institutionalized and long-term event within the Asian region.
