*WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIM*
Semantic Technologies provide a formal way to represent knowledge in  
ways that are interpretable by computers and a related technology  
stack to store, integrate and query information semantically. The  
purpose of the OSS workshop is to foster communication and strengthen  
interdisciplinary work at the intersection of semantic technologies  
and social services.


*CALL FOR PAPERS*

We invite researchers from the Knowledge Representation, Semantic Web,  
Machine Learning, and Social Science communities to submit theoretical  
contributions, novel algorithms, artefacts, and tools related to  
social services. We welcome reports from Social Work practitioners on  
their experiences using semantic-enabled technologies, best practices,  
and insights.

For additional information, please contact oss2022committee at gmail.com.
