1 • Semantic Web Technology 

Semantic Web Technology 

In addition to the classic “Web of documents” W3C is helping to build a technology stack to support a “Web of data,” the sort of data you find in databases. The ultimate goal of the Web of data is to enable computers to do more useful work and to develop systems that can support trusted interactions over the network. The term “Semantic Web” refers to W3C’s vision of the Web of linked data. Semantic Web technologies enable people to create data stores on the Web, build vocabularies, and write rules for handling data. Linked data are empowered by technologies such as RDF, SPARQL, OWL, and SKOS.

2 • W3C standards define an Open Web Platform (Examples of topics)

More concretely, we invite contributions from stakeholders, researchers, developers,
analysts and practitioners doing research in the broad domain of audiovisual translation and
media accessibility to submit abstracts dealing with the following key AVT themes:
• New technologies and new practices
• Cross-stakeholder collaboration
• Workflows
• Consulting stakeholders
• Awareness and education
• Professional profiles and practices
• Research and testing
• Resources
• Networks
• Standards and best practices

Examples of topics in audiovisual translation and media accessibility to be addressed within
that framework include but are not limited to:
• Production tools
• Content creation and delivery
• Technologies in practice and research
• Consumer behaviour
• Key performances indicators (KPIs) and evaluation metrics
• Devices, environments and platforms
• Training
• Ethics
• Research methodologies (e.g. cognitive and perception studies)
• Standards and policies
