The LNCS Journal on Data Semantics

The journal aims to provide a highly visible dissemination channel for remarkable work that in one way or another addresses research and development on issues related to data semantics. The target domain ranges from theories supporting the formal definition of semantic content to innovative domain-specific applications of semantic knowledge. We expect such a publication channel to be of the highest interest to researchers and advanced practitioners working on the Semantic Web, interoperability, mobile information services, data warehousing, knowledge representation and reasoning, conceptual database modeling, ontologies, and artificial intelligence. Topics of relevance to this journal inclu
