1. Introduction

The identification of research topics and trends is an important scientometric activity, as it can help guide the direction of future research.

In the Semantic Web area, initially topic and trend detection was primarily performed through qualitative, top-downstyle approaches, that rely on expert knowledge. More recently, data-driven, bottom-up approaches have been proposed that offer a quantitative analysis of the evolution of a research domain.

In this paper, we aim to provide a broader and more complete picture of Semantic Web topics and trends by adopting a mixed methods methodology, which allows a combined use of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Concretely, we build on a qualitative analysis of the main seminal papers, which adopt a top-down approach, and on quantitative results derived with three bottom-up data-driven approaches (Rexplore, Saffron, PoolParty), on a corpus of Semantic Web papers published in the last decade. In this process, we both use the latter for “fact-checking” on the former and also to derive key findings in relation to the strengths and weaknesses of top-down and bottom-up approaches to research topic identification.

Although, we provide a reflectional study on the past decade of Semantic Web research, the findings and the methodology are relevant not only for our community but beyond the area of the Semantic Web toother research fields as well.

List of topics from ISWC, ESWC, SEMANTiCS, SWJ and JWS

We manually extracted the metadata (i.e., call for paper line items and the track, session and invited talk titles, etc..) from the ISWC, ESWC and the SEMANTiCS conference series and the SWJ and the JWS journal websites, from 2006 to 2015 inclusive. Where the metadata was not available we consulted the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Please find the collected data here.

Once all of the metadata was gathered we created a dataset composed of the aforementioned venue metadata. We started by merging the text from the titles of the invited talks, the line items from the call for papers, the various track names and the session titles, per year per venue. We subsequently went through each line item and noted all of the topics (words and phrases that are relevant for the community) that appeared. More often than not there were multiple topics per line item.

Following on from this we merged all of the topics into a single topic list and removed the duplicates, resulting in a dictionary containing 3,421 unique topics. Please find this list below:

Semantic Web publications

The corpus, which was analyzed by each of the tools, comprises papers from five enduring international publishing outlets dedicated to Semantic Web research, namely: the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC), the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC), the SEMANTiCS conference, the Semantic Web Journal (SWJ) and the Journal of Web Semantics (JWS), over a 10 year period from 2006 to 2015 inclusive. These publishing outlets were chosen as they are dedicated to Semantic Web research and have been running continuously for several years

Note that we asked the organizers of the selected conferences and journals (Semantic Web Science Association, STI International, Semantic Web Company and editorial board of JWS and SWJ) for permission to do the analysis over the data and metadata. Due to licenses, we cannot provide here a direct download to the concrete analyzed material. However, we list relevant provenance information such that an interested reader with access to the material can reproduce our approach.

The Semantic Web Venues (SWVs) corpus contained 2045 papers in total (1472 conference papers and 573 journal papers).
