ISWC 2026: International Semantic Web Conference
📅 Sunday, 25 October 2026 → Thursday, 29 October 2026 in 96 days
ISWC 2026 — the 25th International Semantic Web Conference; knowledge graphs, linked data & AI.
ISWC 2026 is the 25th International Semantic Web Conference — the premier international venue for research on the Semantic Web, knowledge graphs and linked data. The silver-anniversary edition marks a quarter-century of work on giving data explicit, machine-readable meaning.
What you gain
ISWC convenes the researchers and practitioners building the standards and systems behind knowledge graphs: ontologies, linked data, reasoning over structured knowledge, and the tooling that powers enterprise and web-scale knowledge bases. Expect peer-reviewed research, in-use and resource tracks, and a community that spans academia and industry.
Where it fits
Knowledge graphs have re-emerged as a key ingredient for grounding large language models, reducing hallucination and giving AI systems verifiable, structured facts to reason over. After 25 years, the Semantic Web community's work on representing and linking knowledge is more relevant than ever — ISWC is where that research and the GraphRAG-era convergence of symbolic and neural methods is advanced.
