ABSTRACT

This National Science Foundation award will fund up to 15 United States-based students attending the 22nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2023), held in Athens, Greece from November 6 to 10, 2023. ISWC is the premier international forum for state-of-the-art research on all aspects of the Semantic Web, knowledge graphs, and their intersection with other domains. Student Fellowships will help cover the travel costs for US students, making it possible for them to attend the conference and discuss and disseminate their work. They will also provide an opportunity for them to interact with future national and international scientific collaborators.

The International Semantic Web Conference, which is now in its 22nd year, is an interdisciplinary conference that includes work on Data Management, Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation, and Reasoning, Ontologies and Ontology Languages, Semantic Web Engineering, Linked Data, User Interfaces, and Applications. It regularly has several hundred attendees. In addition to the main technical tracks, the conference includes a variety of events that provide opportunities for more in-depth interaction amongst researchers at different institutions who are at various stages of their research careers, and researchers who are interested in many different aspects of Semantic Web Research. Students benefit from the Doctoral Consortium - a full day event where students can get critical, but encouraging, feedback on their work from senior members of the community. They also benefit from the career mentoring lunch, where experienced members of the community from both academia and industry answer questions in an informal setting. For further information see the conference web site at: https://iswc2023.semanticweb.org/

This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

This award provided full travel support to five students from U.S. institutions, enabling them to participate at the 22nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2023) held in Athens, Greece. Students were able present their work, attend the Doctoral Consortium, and receive feedback during the Career Mentoring Lunch. This had a record number of participants this year, where students were able to receive advice on their research journeys from an international group of mentors from industry, academia, and the public sectors.

All eligible students were funded, and the cohort was already balanced in terms of diversity. No undergraduate students applied.
