The term "semantic web" has been coined by Tim Berners-Lee in 1998 to denote the efforts dealing with the conceptual structuring of the Web in an explicit and machine-readable way. The primary goal of semantic web is to facilitate resource discovery, information filtering and "intelligent browsing". 
 

The objective of the workshop is to bring together and foster interaction among individuals conducting research in the theory and implementation of the semantic web.
