Semantic Web has grown into a mature field of research. Its methods find innovative applications on and off the World Wide Web. Its underlying technologies have significant impact on adjacent fields of research and on industrial applications.

This new book series reports on the state of the art in foundations, methods, and applications of Semantic Web and its underlying technologies. It is a central forum for the communication of recent developments and comprises research monographs, textbooks and edited volumes on all topics related to the Semantic Web.

Volumes in this series are co-published by IOS Press Amsterdam and AKA Verlag Heidelberg ensuring a short publication time and world-wide distribution.

Proposals for publishing excellent PhD theses in this series are welcome. Publications in German language are possible.
