Synthesis Lectures on Data, Semantics, and Knowledge is edited by Ying Ding of the University of Texas at Austin and Paul Groth of the University of Amsterdam. The series focuses on the pivotal role that data on the web and the emergent technologies that surround it play both in the evolution of the World Wide Web as well as applications in domains requiring data integration and semantic analysis. The large-scale availability of both structured and unstructured data on the Web has enabled radically new technologies to develop. It has impacted developments in a variety of areas including machine learning, deep learning, semantic search, and natural language processing. Knowledge and semantics are a critical foundation for the sharing, utilization, and organization of this data. The series aims both to provide pathways into the field of research and an understanding of the principles underlying these technologies for an audience of scientists, engineers, and practitioners. Topics to be included: Knowledge graphs, both public and private | Linked Data | owledge graph and automated knowledge base construction | Knowledge engineering for large-scale data | Machine reading | Uses of Semantic Web technologies | Information and knowledge integration, data fusion | Various forms of semantics on the web (e.g., ontologies, language models, and distributional semantics) | Terminology, Thesaurus, & Ontology Management | Query languages.
