* Special Issue of the JWS on Benchmarking Semantic Web Solutions *

** Call for Papers **
The availability of benchmarks is often regarded as a prerequisite for 
sustainable developments in quantitative research. From a practical 
perspective, the cost and effort required for introducing Semantic Web 
and Linked Data technology is significant. A key step towards abolishing 
the barriers to the adoption and deployment of this technology is to 
provide open benchmarking reports that allow users to assess the fitness 
of existing solutions for their purposes.

In this special issue, we hence welcome articles (1) proposing 
benchmarks and related platforms, and/or (2) performing a throughout 
evaluation of Semantic Web solutions. A focus of the special issue will 
be scalability and reproducibility. The target topics of the 
benchmark/evaluation include (but are not limited to):

     Knowledge extraction
         Named entity recognition
         Disambiguation
         Relation extraction
         Open and closed knowledge extraction
     Link discovery and prediction
         Linking at scale
         Linking for dedicated data types (e.g., geospatial data)
     Knowledge curation and fact checking
     Ontology alignment
         Alignment discovery
         Alignment repair
         Complex ontology alignment
     Tabular data to knowledge graph matching
         Cell to KG entity matching
         Column to KG semantic type
         Relation discovery among table columns
         KG population
     OWL reasoning
         Classification
         Entailment checking
         Class satisfiability
         Ontology satisfiability
         Query answering
     Knowledge graph completion
         Semantic embeddings
         Quality of embeddings
     Ontology Based Data Access
         Performance
         Relational schema to ontology alignment
     Visualization
     Browsing
