The Semantic Web is increasingly used for research and applications in 
industrial engineering covering several tasks related to knowledge-based 
data management. It is sufficient to recall worldwide efforts related to 
Industry 4.0 aimed at the development of industrial environments where 
machines are designed to smoothly interact between themselves and with 
humans via knowledge models. At the same time, however, practitioners 
and stakeholders lack methodologies and guidelines to reliably develop, 
use or integrate (existing) ontologies. In addition, when ontologies are 
developed within specific application contexts, they are hardly 
accessible and reusable by third-parties. Recent initiatives like (the 
European project)OntoCommons <https://ontocommons.eu/>, theIndustry 
Ontologies Foundry (IOF) <https://www.industrialontologies.org/>, and 
theUK National Digital Twins 
<https://www.cdbb.cam.ac.uk/what-we-do/national-digital-twin-programme>, 
among others, attempt to improve this situation, e.g., by collecting 
methodologies, ontologies, and tools to facilitate the exploitation of 
the Semantic Web for industrial needs.

The purpose of the Special Issue is to collect contributions on the use 
of Semantic Web languages and technologies within industrial engineering 
areas such as discrete manufacturing (e.g., aerospace, automotive, 
machinery, electronics), continuous production (e.g., chemical 
engineering, oil and gas industry), product design, Architecture, 
Engineering and Construction (AEC), among others.

Topics relevant to this special issue include, but are not limited to, 
the following:

  *

    Research and application challenges for the industrial exploitation
    of Semantic Web languages and technologies, including Industry 4.0
    scenarios.

  *

    Semantic Web as an enabler for Digital Twin applications in industry.

  *

    Semantic Web frameworks (including frameworks adopting the FAIR
    principles) for knowledge-based industrial data management, covering
    tasks such as data modeling, sharing, integration, systems
    interoperability, reasoning about data and knowledge.

  *

    Data analysis workflows supported by the Semantic Web.

  *

    Novel technologies for Semantic Web applications in industry.

  *

    Bridging methods between Machine Learning and the Semantic Web tuned
    to industrial engineering.

  *

    Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of the Semantic Web in
    industrial engineering applications

  *

    Ontologies for knowledge representation and reasoning about topics
    relevant for industrial engineering (e.g., products, processes,
    manufacturing resources, requirements and capabilities, etc.).

  *

    Ontology-based patterns for industrial engineering knowledge
    representation.

  *

    Methodologies, methods, and techniques targeted to industrial
    contexts supporting the development, modularization, extension, and
    evolution of ontologies.

  *

    Literature review of existing ontologies for industrial engineering,
    including structured comparisons.

  *

    Experiences with the use of top-level ontologies (e.g. BFO, DOLCE,
    ISO 15926, among others) in industrial engineering.

  *

    Experiences with research and application initiatives such as
    OntoCommons, the Industry Ontologies Foundry (IOF), and the UK
    National Digital Twins.



++++++++++++++++++++Author Guidelines++++++++++++++++++++

Submissions shall be made through the Semantic Web journal website 
athttp://www.semantic-web-journal.net 
<http://www.semantic-web-journal.net>. Prospective authors must take 
notice of the submission guidelines posted 
athttp://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors 
<http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors>.

We welcome four main types of submissions: (i) full research papers, 
(ii) reports on tools and systems, (iii) application reports, and (iv) 
survey articles. The description of the submission types is posted 
athttp://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors#types 
<http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors#types>. While there is no 
upper limit, paper length must be justified by content.

Extended versions of manuscripts published in conferences and workshops 
are welcome as long as the previous publications are clearly 
acknowledged and the new submission introduces substantial revisions and 
updates.

Note that you need to request an account on the website for submitting a 
paper. Please indicate in the cover letter that it is for the "Semantic 
Web for Industrial Engineering: Research and Applications" special 
issue. All manuscripts will be reviewed based on the SWJ open and 
transparent review policy and will be made available online during the 
review process.

Also note that the Semantic Web journal is open access 
(http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/open-access-swj-going-gold).

Finally please note that submissions must comply with the journal’s Open 
Science Data requirements, which are detailed in 
http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/open-science-data-impending-changes-review-process-semantic-web-journal.
