===============================


The mission of the Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST) is to bring together researchers in Semantic Technology research community and other areas of semantic related technologies to present their innovative research results or novel applications of semantic technologies.

The research track solicits submissions of original research work on semantic technologies and vocabularies. The in-use track solicits submissions of original work on applications of semantic technologies and vocabularies. Quality shared resources such as public ontologies, datasets and software are highly valuable to the research community, hence, JIST 2016 in-use track also calls for submissions of public, shared resources of interest to the Semantic Web community. 


* Topics of Interest 

Topics of interest can be found on the JIST2016 web site (research: http://pat.scse.ntu.edu.sg/jist2016/paper_rt.html, in-use: http://pat.scse.ntu.edu.sg/jist2016/paper_iut.html). 


* Submission 

Submissions to JIST 2016 research & in-use track should describe original, significant research on or innovative application of semantic technologies. Submissions to JIST 2016 are expected to present their claimed contribution, with clear evidence to support their claims. All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. To assess submissions, reviewers will judge their relevance to semantic technologies, their originality, the technical soundness of their proposed approach and the readability of the submission. JIST 2016 submissions are not anonymous.
